ART: Kael Hate - Edit of Elemental Icons IDEA: Kael Hate NOTES: - This is a representitive card of a set of 12 cards. All the cards function in the same way but with the Name, Card Element and 3 quanta gain changed to match the heading element. - The focus of this card is to be able to splash in an element you requre only in the smallest part and still retain a strong card hand. - Names        - Aetheric        - Atmospheric        - Dark        - Deathly        - Earthen        - Entropic        - Burning        - Gravimetric        - Lively        - Bright        - Timely        - Fluidic SERIES: QUANTUM MECHANICS - A Series of Card Ideas for Quanta Production  (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5981.msg67663#msg67663)

Is the gain and the cost the same element?  I'm assuming that these aren't 1 <element> and free respectively so they can't be played straight out of the gate.  Though the low total net cost sort of makes the name a misnomer.  But that's more aesthetics than mechanics. 

Though I would have to point out that card draw seems to (currently) be the sole domain of due to how it speeds up the game.

Draw a card.


The draw a card effect means you are replacing the card that you needed to trigger the effect. The cost allows it to be played in any deck to get the quanta type required to play your out of element card. Weakness is you have to draw this card to convert the quanta over to what you need and the quanta generation won't hang around to fuel future turns.

so you can't convert 1 card to the exact element you need, there would be 12 cards theoritically?

Yep, its a set of 12.

I guess it wouldn't be enough to have a single card, and the quantum color is determined by your mark?

That would defeat the point of having the card.

This would speed up decks that have too much quantum (maybe shrieker rush. who needs 18 pillars) Also, it can be used in any deck for any type of quanta. I see obvious synergy with Lava Golem rush because cremation makes all quanta, which can be used to concentrate on earth quanta.

Enlighten me--how do you envision using ?

Enlighten me--how do you envision using ?

To pay for Firefly in my Hope Deck.
To pay for Shockwave in my Ice Deck
To pay for flying weapon in my unupped Weapon deck

and I'm sure you are aware that this card is designed to be duplicate in all elements.

For some reason, these worry me, mostly because of the "Draw a card." For example, one could use the    version of this, Quantum Towers (and/or Time Towers, but one Quantum Tower provides enough fuel for one of these), and Precognitions to get an amazing amount of draw, even in the first turn. Do it right, and the deck could probably spam (for example) Silurian Dragons for its win condition, and do it so quickly that most decks would have a hard time keeping up. Then again, I could be worrying over nothing, so... take this for what it's worth.

MaxMilen these cards (and Precognition) don't give you ANY card advantage because you spend a card to GET a card...

these cards are free ways to conver 3 generic quanta to 3 specific quanta...
seems a little overpowered because you get something for free...

basically you can put +6 of these in every deck without unbalancing the previous creatures/pillars/permanent ratio
