Tommia used Metronome! [Cards Based on Pokémon Moves and Traits] (TCPG Bi-Weekly Challenges #5)
Don’t think about the card game. It’s time for hardcore Pokémon inspiration!
This challenge should be interesting... at least I think so. Your objective is to make cards inspired by Pokémon moves and traits! They don’t have to be related in any way to Pokémon, or even have the same name as the move or trait. All you need to do is a card inspired by the move or trait in question. Here are the stipulations:
- If the move works over multiple turns (ex. Fire Spin) or is a permanent status boost (ex. Buff Up), or if the card will be based off a trait (ex. Insomnia) the card must be an enchantment.
- If the move is an attack (ex. Quick Attack) or something similar (ex. Fly), the card must be an instant or sorcery.
- You can make cards for any move or trait, even if someone else has.
- You may only make two cards for any one move or trait.
- Limit ten cards per Smith.
- Cards made previously are accepted. Limit five previously made cards per Smith. These cards count towards your ten card limit.
- Un-Cards will be accepted. Limit five Un-Cards per Smith. Un-Cards don’t count towards your ten card limit.
- The deadline will be some time after January 17th

Decided to go for the low-hanging fruit. This one's inspired by Metronome. Or Izzet?
I'll start with my two favourite moves: Yawn and Earthquake.
I'm going to make cards inspired by move that I think will make interesting ones next: Spacial Rend, Doom Desire and... something else... and then hopefully some un-cards.
Breakneck Blitz
Venoschock
Superpower
Moonlight
Hex
Substitute
Any pledge (starter types)
Endeavor (personal fav)
Brave Bird
Precipice Blades
Liquidation
Leech Life

For those of you thinking, "Those moves aren't signature moves of those pokemon!" I know. They aren't now. But when they were introduced in Generation 3, they were.
