It would be interesting to compare your card with another raw design contest card - if yours is glossy and others arent, it could mean that there were different print runs (a glossy card could have been used for demonstration purposes)
You can digivolve the card for free, but you can't gain memory with effects that reduce digivolution costs
The rising cost of drafting was also a pretty big factor coupled with the addition of Collector Boosters, it was now very hard to open value while drafting to help you go infinite (or as close to infinite as possible, by winning games and opening good rares)
And another huge thanks to Icycatelf who's Neo font guide was invaluable
