Good question. It's going to be a 10 point system with this as the basis.
3 possible points for creativity (of non-translated card) 3 possible points for balance (of non-translated card) 3 possible points for hilarity (of translated card) 1 point for artist credit
(I get the translations were random, so im going to be fairly generous on the hilarity portion.)
In the contest description they mention how the "some-assembly-required" instructions from some companies (including IKEA) can sometimes seem awkwardly translated into the native language of the person reading the instructions. It's harmless fun to see how human language can change depending on how many times a sentence is translated from one language to another. Here is the contest description:
Have you ever tried to assemble something from IKEA? then you know what it's like trying to read the instructions. The wording they use for everything is weird and it seems like it has been translated through 20 different languages.

Well, the results are in, but first I want to thank everyone who participated in this contest. It was fun to see all the cool submissions and the Hilariously butchered versions made by google. But now let's see who came out on top.
In 3rd place we have @TerryTags with Yvette, Etherium Mystic. An all around unique and balanced card for blue, although specifically equipment tutoring seems odd. the butchering of it was rather funny as well. Your card got 8/10 points.
In 2nd place we have @SNAPcreator7 with Larum, Rogue Experimentor. A very good card that can be very useful in artifact decks, and he is also definitely the best fairy tale mom. Your score was also 8/10, you got the edge though over being slightly more in colour.
And finally, in first place we have @Daedalus_The_All_Father with Tetravin, God of Deviation. The abilities on him are really unique and seem like they would be really fun in some sort of control deck, yet he still seems balanced. The translated version was also fairly humorous.
And that's all folks! I hope you all had fun doing this and that you might consider joining my next upcoming contest! Winners just post down below links to what you want favourited. I will also post the trophy card likely sometime tomorrow.

Do you want me to make an actual card that is a translated version of this, or is this okay?
