RE: Lv.X's contest.
@ Bob Franklin:
You need to place a few more commas in your cards, that's all. That, and you spelled, "inflict", "inflicte". I didn't deduct from your score, I was just warning you.
I'll rate your card:
3/5.
You give no limit to when the 20 damage reduction expires. When someone reads this, they might think that every turn the damage would stack. For example, after two turns of heads, 40 damage would be reduced. It's not that great of a Poke-Power, would do better as a Poke-Body (something like Dr4g0n's entry). Also, the term is not, "lay down", it would be, "when your opponent plays a basic Pokemon from his/her hand onto the bench".
