Here's my Entry:
Everyone else seems to be putting their entries up so why not mine.
Ash’s Ash-Greninja GX/ Stage 2 /Evolves from Frogadier/ HP:160 /Water
Ability: Battle Bond
Flip a coin. If heads, your attacks deal 20 more damage. If tails, shuffle a Prize Card into your deck and draw a card. That card is the new Prize Card.
[W][W]Aqua Blade: 60+
If you only attack this turn, this attack deals 60 more damage.
[W][W][W][D]Strike of the Ninja GX
Filp a coin. If heads, this attack knocks out the Defending Pokemon. If tails, this attack knocks out a Benched Pokemon. Do not draw a Prize Card if tails.
[Pokédex Entry: It appears and vanishes with a ninja’s grace. It toys with its enemies using swift movements, while slicing them with throwing stars of sharpest water.]

Put me in for text-based, please.
Cards can be submitted any time before the deadline. ^.^
Yeah, Pokemon only.
Text-based will be up shortly, and image-based is pretty much done, but I haven't been able to get into contact with the judge for it, so I don't know how long that will take.
Wallpapers and booster packs for artwork is fine; it's just as long as it's not the same existing artwork for an official card.
To what extent does "involve a coin flip" mean? Does it just mean that the card has to mention flipping a coin?
Example: Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 900 more damage.
Decided against it, since I got an idea for an artwork, but I'll keep it in mind for future CAC's, so thank you!
Anyways, here's my entry!
So at first, I really wanted to do a card with a Pokemon like Togepi, Chansey or Victini (Pokémon that I think are associated with luck), but as I went through the wallpapers saved on my computer, I came across some concept art (from SM) of Grimsley, and then the idea of gambling came into play - since it is very luck-based after all. I wanted the artwork of the card to have some relation to the card effects, so Grimsley is rolling the dice, gambling, while Krookodile is gambling away in the battle arena. The attack is also "game" related, and I consider the coin flip whether or not you're succesfull at playing dirty. When choosing which Pokémon to be in the card along with Grimsley, I naturally wanted a Pokémon he uses, and I thought Bisharp was a bit too obvious, so I went with Krookodile.
Regarding the Ability, I wanted it to be related to gambling, in a way that you can either win or lose - and there's a positive or a negative result for each. I also wanted it to be a choice the player made, so they actually are the ones who gamble. I wanted the attack to be related to Krookodile's seemingly cruel nature, but again playing off of if you're succesful you're discarding an Energy. I wanted the attack to be strong, but not too strong, so that if you choose to gamble it will Knock Out some basic cards (like Tapu Koko), but still not be too overpowered without tools.

Also a quick question, am I allowed to post the artwork on my DeviantArt now, or should I wait till the contest ends?
Edit: It's gonna have to be a -2 points for me, since I unfortunately forgot something I had noted on my sketch ;-;

That is correct. However, we are considering opening up the theme up to just be "involve a significant element of 'luck' in at least one attack or ability effect", as oppose to restricting the theme to just coin flips, so watch this space over the next 24 hours!
Posting both artwork and your card on DeviantArt is fine, yeah.

The reason I chose Sceptile was to go for the theme of pure luck, so I clicked “Surprise Me” on the Pokémon Website’s Pokédex and got Sceptile!
For the theme of the card, I wanted to stick to the “Sceptile the Forest Ninja” theme, flying through the trees and slashing forest offenders and whatnot.

You totally copied me! *Cries tragically* ;n;
Shouldn’t the ability say once per turn? Or else you could use the ability infinitelyDecided against it, since I got an idea for an artwork, but I'll keep it in mind for future CAC's, so thank you!

Chansey HP 100 Colorless
Basic Pokémon
NO. 113 Egg Pokémon HT: 3’07” WT: 76.3 lbs.
/Ability/ ~ Serene Grace
Whenever you would flip a coin for an attack, that attack does 10 more damage to your opponent’s Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance).
[C][C][C] The Luckiest Punch 150
Before doing damage, flip a coin until you get tails. For each heads, draw a card. If you don’t have exactly 7 cards in your hand, this attack does nothing.
Not only are these Pokémon fast runners, they're also few in number, so anyone who finds one must be lucky indeed.
Weakness: Fighting x2
Resistance: None
Retreat: 3

Chansey! I’d didn’t this was a fast Pokémon lol. It might look a little good for a Basic, but 1.) Night March 2.) It’s completely coin-flip reliant and 3.) IT’S A GOOD(ish) CHANSEY CARD CELEBRATE!!! However, it’s Serene Grace Ability could be good in anything that can use coin flips. Unsure on the wording for Serene Grace, but I think this works.
