How much is 1 quantum of an Emerald Dragon?
Umm.... 1 :life quantum?  Is that less obvious than it seems?
He was making fun of the wording, I believe, because Nep didn't say the element of the target but of the target itself. 

Anyway, the forging idea is interesting, but I agree, it seems like a minor or bland twist on the system and wouldn't introduce new strategies or ways of playing.  It does solve the problem of pillars being so solely used, but it doesn't change the basic mechanic of them, which is actually what could use diversity.

It's interesting. But this could potentially break the deck size limit - so what happens then?
Both players draw their hands before any cards are played.  That means that even if someone has a deck of 60 cards and someone manages to put 6 of these down and then use another turn to put them in someones deck, the opponent would be nearing 50 cards in their deck.

This is a great card. It can be SO devastating!
That is not a point that makes a card great...
What makes this card great is it fits its element, and adds a denial card (we're in lack of those ingame).
Also, maybe change only the upped to 4?
I based this off of Pandemonium.  The difference between the two cards, upped and unupped, is huge, and the upped card is much more useful, so I think it should cost more.

Thanks for the feedback!

Some alternate ideas for the effect:  Reduces maximum health or freezes one random card in the enemy hand as long as it is in play.

Does it need to create quanta or can the submission transmute quanta from one element to another?

Lovely art and unique idea.  If you wanted to make it work with shields and weapons, it could simply become the targeted weapon/shield and replace your current one.

Elemental Cost*1.5 + 1.5 = Other cost
6*1.5 + .5 = 9.5
6*1.5 + .5 = 9.5
Estimated Cost : 9 or 10
 
Can you explain what you are doing there?  I'm not sure I understand.

As for the idea, I like the concept, but the gravity pull seems like a death sentence.

For this too, how do you submit an entry?  Just post it in the section, or link in this thread?

Change the name, please. most element things have something to do with Quantum Physics or reaility (Creatures are a different matter) and I never heard of a "White Hole". maybe "Wormhole" could work better?

other than that, seems kinda nice. If you do, however, mauntain the Attuned Quanta, make it only worth for the opponent's MARK, not pillars.
White holes are theoretical regions in space time opposite a black hole and could be connected by an even more theoretical wormhole.

There is so much that can be done with this card.  I suspect the most balanced way to go about it is costing 8 :life and for every pair of creatures, another is bred.  This would be a brand new card without any effects on it, much like mitosis.  As it stands now, the card would create 4 more toads if you have 4 toads, but if you have 1, it would create none.

I could change the wording to reflect my original intention, I just can't come up with something that will fit on the cards.

All pairs of life creatures produce one offspring.

Actually, that works quite well and I could even fit in the idea that the stats reflect the weaker of the pair.  That might be too overpowered.

In any case, which do you think would make a better card of those 3 options?

Also, how do I submit to the contest, just making a card in this section?

Art updated and ideal finalized.  Any thoughts before I offer it for a promotion?
