REAL ELEMENTS CARDS

[Daggerfell]

I think there should be REAL Elements cards sold in stores.
 anyone else agree?
post your opinion. it is valued
don't you wanna continue playing this great game even if your power goes out?
REAL CARDS MAN!

waddya think?

[deidmann]

Nah. As great as Elements is, I somehow think it would cost too much resources. Besides, there are what, less than 200 cards? You don't see that very often.

Elements isn't like pokemon. what would you do with fractal and TU for example?

I don't know, but this looks pretty tempting to me...

Use tokens and pretend they are the copies, or something like that.

[Daggerfell]

totally. token cards...  and if not that/   use coins!   beads,  buttons, and a lot of what-have-yous 8)

Elements doesn´t work as a real game.

Spoiler for reasons:

- Do you want to throw 3 dice (with 12 sides) per quantum pillar and turn ?
- Do you want to count 12 different quanta types per player ? In MtG, it´s easier (tab lands).
- Do you want to have 22+6 Fireflies per player? Scarabs ?
- Do you want to calculate damage manually?
- Do you want health (atk) counters for each creature on field ?
- How to scramble 9 quanta (Discord)
Fractal ? Nightmare ? Mitosis ? Devourer ? Mindgate ? Parallel Universe ? Pandemonium ? Fate Egg ? Mutation ? ( just a few coming to my mind).
Do you want to have Freeze counters, poison counters, delay counters, "Lobotomized" counters, Adrenaline counters  ?
- Do you want to throw one 10 - sided (or 20 sided) die per creature against Fog /Dusk Shield ?

However, I once had the idea, that fans could make playing cards (like these you use for poker), with Elements - related pictures. And  card sets corresponding  to colors. Like this:

Spoiler for Hidden:

Heart = 12 weapons + one "other"(for "ace")
Diamond = 12 shields (the oldest ones) + the other shield(for "ace")
Cross= 12 alchemy cards (or nymphs) + relic(for "ace")
pique = 12 pillars + quantum pillar

Turning Elements into a real card game would be a nightmare without a lot of reworking. I just like the idea of having actual elements cards just for pointless fun.

Too impractical.

It's somewhat impractical to play a game of Elements with real cards, but they could certainly make a great novelty.

Any hardcore MTG player already owns a bag full of dice and counters, an ETG game would be a joke for that person. 
And an electronic quanta counter would be useful.

I dare you to run a mutation deck. In real life.
