Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

EnsignMerlin's Greatest CaC contest yet!

Arceus999's Lugia HP 90 (C)
Basic Pokemon
Picture: http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgu...um=1&hl=en&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2005-42,GGLG:en&sa=N (When it comes up, just click on the picture with two Lugias on it for a bigger picture).

(P) Deep Dive 10
Search your discard pile for a Trainer/Supporter/Stadium card, show it to your opponent, and put it into your hand.

(P)(P)(P)(P) Psychic Windstorm 70
Discard all Pokemon Tool cards and Stadium cards in play (before doing damage).


Weakness: (P) +20
Resistance: (F) -20
Retreat Cost: (C)

Strategy:
It counters Absol. They put a Supporter in the discard? Wait 'till you need it, then use Deep Dive for it. Next turn, get it back! Also has a sort of Windstorm effect in Psychic Windstorm. You attach a Cessation to your Pokemon while I'm using Telepass? Psychic Windstorm!

Concept:
I wanted to make something that would make Absol harder to use. Also, I like Windstorm, and would LOVE to have it, but I don't. It is not broken because, well, a counter to Absol it may be great and all, but really, the card isn't the greatest against other cards. It only has 90 HP, a Gardevoir can almost one-shot it, it does 70 for 4 (but then it discards Tools and Supporters). It is not underbroken, however, because a Gallade having to flip 3 Prizes just to OHKO a Absol/Tool counter. It is an amazing counter to Absol; just load energies on it, then hit for 70, KO. They put Trainers in the discard? Deep Dive gets them back. It's sort of like Claydol GE and Pachirisu GE put together.

Charmander rox Lv26 70HP [R]
BASIC

Picture: A Charmander in the center of the picture, a Meditite partly shown to the lower-left, and a Pichu to the lower-right. All of them are D/P sprites. The background is the Woodlands Holiday Inn.

[Poke-Body] Team Support
You pay [C] less to retreat your Pokémon with rox in its name.

[.] Back Fire
Put 1 damage counter on 1 of your opponent's Pokémon in play. Then put 1 damage counter on 1 of your Pokémon in play.

[R][C][C] Mad Rage 30+
Does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each damage counter on Charmander rox. If the Defending Pokémon damaged Charmander rox during your opponent's last turn, the Defending Pokémon is now Burned and Confused.

W - [W]+20
R -
RC - [C]

Strategy: Snipe your opponent, damage yourself, then use Mad Rage to do high damage to your opponent. One easy way to get by this is for your opponent to one-shot you, but that's the risk you take. One useful combo would be with Swoop! Teleporter, because you could let your opponent hit one of your Pokemon for 60, then Swoop! and do 90 and Burn & Confuse. One more combo is with Meditite Rox LvX. Because of Team Support, you can easily bring Meditite up, Level it up, then retreat again. The free retreat allows you to attach to your Pokemon freely.

Concept: The story is that when someone attacks me, I usually retaliate and attack the aggressor. They usually end up either running home, falling to the ground after running away, or begging for mercy until I cool off a bit. So, yeah. That's the inspiration behind this card. This card is not broken because it is easily one-shotted. This card is not fancy toilet paper because it is a decent sniping starter that can quickly become lethal.



Something like this?

Poketo Supporter

You may search your deck, hand, discard pile, or look at your opponents deck, hand, or discard pile for a supporter and that that cards effect as if it was this one's.

Stradagy: A chance to look at your opponents deck, hand know what they are doing or use a suppoter from your deck that you need. Some what like a Holon Tranciever.

Consept: Supporters are slowly dieing to fishing engine, but this might bring it back or remove it completely.

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

I dont have a Pict yet... are we able to google pict it?

First, please don't bash, maybe where Poketo is from the fishing engine is used alot more than where you are from... Second, this is more how it is.

More pokemon and stage 2's = Supporters > Fishing engine.

Less pokemon and stage 1's = Supporters < Fishing engine.

That would be more accurate. :thumb:
 
Well, it would appear that Azure Kite has dropped out of the competition. So now, there are only 8 people remaining. The elimination is off for now.. but don't count on it again! ;P

Some what hard for me to know i can never get to the good decks in my area most of them are not even trying/showing up.
 
Lucario EX's Aspiration
Supporter

Supporter Rule

You can't play this card unless your opponent has fewer Prize cards left.
Search your deck for a Energy card and show it to your opponent. Shuffle your deck afterward.
If you chose a Special Energy card, discard the top 2 cards of your deck.

Picture:
Shows a mysterious looking figure in a dark-colored cloak looking up at the full moon from a grassy field.

Strategy: You could let a starter get knocked out, then play this card to search for a Scramble Energy to power up something big like Gallade.

Concept: Not too broken because you have to be losing to use it, and therefore can't do something like just play it to get that T1 DRE for Infernape, and you have to discard cards to get a special energy. Good because you can let something get knocked out, then get Scramble or DRE guaranteed, and because since you discard cards from your deck instead of your hand, Absol, Empoleon, etc, won't mess it up.
 
Fried Blaziken asked me to post this.

Sorry, but here it is.... Judgment time has come for you all. Though none of you will be eliminated, this determines who will be team captains. Over the next week I will review your cards then post them by the end of the week. (with luck)

For those of you wondering why I waited till today... I was grounded Dx
 
The Grading has FINISHED!!!

GreenZangoose:

Name: -5/5
Type: -5/5
HP: -5/5
Picture: -10/10(need not be pretty, just that it be there... and not completely ripped from google...)
PokePower: -9/15(Still a little broken... forgot special conditions ruling.)
Attack: -9/15(Well, it's not bad...)
Weakness/Resistance/Retreat Cost:-10/10
Strategy: -20/25(Well... Many cards are only balanced because of the risk factor involved. After all, this would be murder in unlimited or even modified with Super ER 2...)
Concept: -18/25(Could have been reflected a little better... Perhaps make the ability apply during your opponent's turn only?)

Grand Total: 88/100


Meditite Rox:

Name: -5/5
Type: -5/5
HP: -5/5
Picture: -10/10(Nice discription)
PokeBody: -11/15(Little on the scary side. It's presence would definitely be felt, though I'm not too sure if it quite belongs on a Lv.X of a basic...)
Attack: -13/15(Simple yet elegant. It works with the theme of the card, though not the most original.)
Weakness/Resistance/Retreat Cost:-10/10
Strategy: -20/25(Simply terrifying to see it appear on the field... This baby plus energy denial decks would be fearsome...)
Concept: -12/25(It's a good description, but it doesn't explain what it has to do with you...

Grand Total: 76/100


Arceus999:

Name: -5/5
Type: -5/5
HP: -5/5
Picture: -5/10(Stolen... At least give credit to the artist...)
Attack1: -10/15(Almost broken actually.. xD very very scary to face a supporter returning every round..)
Attack2: -12/15(Very nice.. Not the most original but still suits the theme well...)
Weakness/Resistance/Retreat Cost:-10/10
Strategy: -15/25(Not so much an Absol counter as a staple in every deck.. Endless Mars, endless town volunteers, endless supporter use is enough reason to use it alone...)
Concept: -15/25(Very nice... Still want to here about you though since you are your own theme...)

Grand Total: 67/100


Charmander Rox:

Name: -5/5
Type: -5/5
HP: -5/5

Effect: -30/40 (Little too powerful I'm afraid.. forgot to add shuffling...)

Grand Total: 55/100


Lucario EX:


TRAINER/ENERGY-
Name:-5/5
Type:-5/5
Picture:-6/10(sorry, not that descriptive I'm afraid..)
Effect:- 35/40(Very nice..)
Strategy:-15/20(could use quite a bit more length)
Concept: -15/20(not much to do with you though...)

Grand Total: 81/100


Hectagonman:
Grand total: 0/100 (you needed to post a card too you know..)


Fried Blaziken:

UNKNOWN-
Grand Total: 0/100 (sorry man.. shouldn't have done something to get banned... D=)

Anyway, due to the results, the two Team Leaders will be:

Charmander Rox-Team 1

GreenZangoose-Team 2

I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.. Whoever PMs me the right(or closest to right) answer will get first pick of whom to add to their team. Choose Wisely!

Do you mean, why as in why did he not see his mistake, or why as in in what way?
If you look at it, you lost 10 points on both Concept and Strategy, already giving you an 80. Then the 5 for Picture, 5 for Attack 1, and 3 for Attack 2, giving you 67.
 
How did I forget to put in the shuffle your deck afterwords? >.< *Insert funny statement that makes me hurt myself (I thought of one, but someone younger might see this)*
I'll just have to make picts on paint even though I'm bad at those.
 
Actually, my calculator was broken.. ^_^;

Anyway, Charmander Rox chose 50, GreenZangoose chose 51...

You're not gonna like it.. You're really not going to like it. It's, it's...
50.5!!!*

*just kidding xD, it's really 42.

so Charmander Rox is the winner.

Charmander Rox, please post your first choice to join your team. Then, GreenZangoose chooses 1. Repeat until everyone has been added to a team.
