Respawn EntertainmentWattson is going to introduce a new dynamic to Apex Legends when she comes into the game.

In a Reddit post, user ‘teamNEWYORK’ showed off their younger brother’s incredible custom Wattson card design. The creation comes complete with info, abilities and the classic holographic shimmer seen in various trading card games (TCG), but that most people will best remember from Pokemon.

“My kid brother can’t decide if he’s a bigger fanboy for Apex or Pokemon, so he made this,” teamNEWYORK said. “He also says this is his dibs on Wattson.”

If there was an official Apex Legends card game it seems like this Wattson concept would have a pretty useful ability since since someone would be able to “play this card only if (your) current active weapon is the Mozambique. Search your deck for a gold Wingman and place it in your hand.”

It’s unknown if the young creative is working on a larger Apex TCG but his simple Wattson ability hints at deeper layers of strategy with “active” weapons and a gold variant of weapons.

Regardless the card had tons of people wondering how the artist managed to pull of the effect but the Redditor was only able to provide a bit of insight: “I believe the image is printed on an actual Pokemon TCG holo card. Dude’s got a whole process.”
