On account of me loving forest spectres/spirits and wanting a forest spectre/spirit deck, I love this card! The returning to your deck might be a problem though. Why use eternity when you can have this for 0 quanta and prevent decking out. Little OP in that respect. Might want to make it have a limit of 3 uses or something.

Thanks for the reply.  Eternity's advantage is that it can be protected.  Assuming you take 2 of this card, if one gets destroyed or stolen you've lost the deck out protection.  Also you do have to pay 3 quanta to use it.

So essentially it makes water more acsessible for duos, and reduces by half the chances of a one sided pillar draw.
And as long as you have the 3 random non water quanta each turn, and two copies of this card, you can prevent decking out.

Seems like a very useful card for water duos. I like it  :P

Hi.  I'm the Master of Water, and I approve of this card.

This card is the bomb.  It fought in World War II, saved a busload of nuns in Chile, and runs the world's only legitimate hedge fund that appreciates at 12%.  I want to have this card's baby, and so does every member of the Pussycat Dolls.  This card cures cancer in small children and dementia in the elderly.  It can hurl tennis rackets at small moving animals with remarkable accuracy, and it firms and tightens your abs without you doing any exercise.

This card holds the number one video on MTV, the World Wrestling Entertainment's Hardcore Belt, and my heart in it's hands.  Jesus walked on this card, and multiplied it for the hungry masses.  Buddha sat under this card.  Mohammed was defeated in single combat by this card. 


This card is love.

I'm the Master of Water, and I'd like to thank you for listening to this message.
If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.

Wouldn't the three non water quanta per turn be able to be satisfied by a quantum tower/pillar or two? (hopefully doesn't make water quanta).

I'm confused. Why does this card use 'non- :water' quanta in order to erode something? Shouldn't it be the other way around, since, water by definition actually erodes an object to its basic core? O_o

It's still vulnerable to Explosions/Steals/permanent control, so I'll give it a thumbs up, but I'm still worried since the card sacrifices itself, you can't use it as reliably as Eternity due to the fact that you have to wait two turns for you to place it back in your deck (unless you have multiples of these cards, and used them accordingly to cycle them in and out).

Don't you have anything nice to say?  >:(

I guess so.  Do you think that makes it OP?  Maybe change it to 4 or 5 activation cost?

I was thinking by activating this card, you lose those quanta in the process (they get eroded).  So eventually (if you have no other quanta production) everything gets changed into water.  It washes away your other quanta.

I didn't want to make it better than Eternity definitely, since Eternity is a rare.  So, yes I intended for it to require more than 1 for deck out protection.

In the card's creator head erosion == convert quanta to water. Rock erodes to water, time erodes to water, light erodes to ... water.

No. Because you will never deck out.

Is that the worst you can say about this?
Eternity+ray of light can do that too for 3 :time. If eternity is PA'd then it is almost infinite. (You need another PA to protect the pillars).
