Can't believe I forgot to sign up until now, but put me in for image!
This time, I saw the prompt and immediately knew what I was going to make. The only problem was how to do it. At first, my plans were simply to make an Alolan Exeggutor LEGEND, to enhance the vertical aspect of the card. As I perused the art, however, I found a piece by Jarzard that was extraordinarily tall. The only thing to do, then, was to embark on the longest card conquest of my faking career. With @CardPone's Omnium LEGEND template at my side, I morphed, stretched, and mangled the blanks until they were twice as tall as beforehand. After that, it was a mere matter of hours, and the palm tree was complete. With the introduction out of the way, I present Alolan Exeggutor LEGEND LEGEND!

My design philosophy for the non-aesthetic portion of this card was fairly simple. I wanted to make a REALLY memey card, so I extended an already convoluted mechanic and gave it some of the most ridiculous attacks ever printed. First off we have Atomic Egg Bomb, which knocks out both Active Pokémon. This is the kind of attack that I would love to see swoop in from nowhere and tie the game, causing the rare and sought-after sudden death game. The second attack, Hammer of the True Tree Hydra, is based on my favourite card ever printed, Slowbro UNB. For a mere 5 energy, it can do up to 500 base damage plus up to 400 spread to the bench (given sky field is in play). However, there is that 1/16 chance that you just straight up lose the game then and there. Victini does make this risk pretty nonexistent, but a 1/256 chance is still a chance, and that just makes it all the funnier when it happens. In terms of the weakness, resistance, and retreat cost, I decided to stick to form with those. I took Grass's weakness, Dragon's weakness, and gave it both, much like many LEGEND cards. The retreat cost is 3 because that's true to Alolan Exeggutor form.
