Submission Requirements:

Where to Submit: Entries must be submitted to our official discord as a PNG/JPEG.
Card Template: The card must be submitted using the provided card template, which can be downloaded HERE.
Text Format: Submissions should follow this format: CARD NAME [Minion/Spell/Trap/Blitz Burst] [Rarity] (COST/POWER/HEALTH): CARD ABILITY.
Tokens: If your card generates tokens, please submit them in the same format.
Art Requirement: Original art must be submitted alongside the card concept in any digital format, and Tako Boy will adapt the winning entry to pixel art. AI generated art is NOT allowed. It must be SFW. While the card will not be judged on its artwork, including art helps convey the card's flavor and theme.

Optional Flavor Text: Feel free to include flavor text and additional description to integrate your card into the Cross Blitz world.
Entry Limit: Participants may submit multiple entries, but only one entry per participant will be considered for the final selection.

Card Design
Keywords: Participants are encouraged to use existing keywords rather than creating new ones.
Balance: Cards should be well-balanced in cost, effect, power, and health. The winning card may be rebalanced if necessary before implementation.
Copyright: Submissions must not include characters, items, or concepts from other media.
Flavor and Lore: The card should seamlessly fit within the Cross Blitz universe, with a name, art concept, and flavor text that aligns with the game’s tone. Art concepts can be rough but should convey the intended theme.

Judging Criteria
Creativity and Innovation: The originality and uniqueness of the card.
Balance: How well the card’s power level integrates with the existing game meta (based
on Tusk Tales).
Flavor and Lore: How effectively the card fits into the world of Cross Blitz.
Winner: The winner will be directly selected by the Tako Boy team.
NOTE: The card will not be judged based on artwork.

Winners will be announced in the second week of January. Have fun, Blitzers!
