OK, I'm sick of people not reading cards properly.  The refined Criticism
card is not at all like a defender.  It allows you to reduce the damage
that YOU do to your opponent.  By using this card, you can kill Mr. Mime
even with a guy who has a big attack, or you can lessen the damage you take
from a "do that damage back" type move.

So, to whoever posted that, read the card more carefully, because you have
no clue what it actually does.
