could always have it absorb quantums while it's in stasis... it collects energy before discharging it to summon forth some extra-dimensional abomination or w/e it may be...

If the Sun wasn't immaterial it could be destroyed, which would make it go super nova.. hence generating quantums of all types =P or it could create a black hole effect lol

gotta agree... the names doesn't match the effects well... how about 'Strategize' or sumthin maybe a picture of a chess peice? It currently sounds like card that should swap a cards element to it's opposite...

Design Theory / I have a Question...

I'm putting this here since it directly relates to the cards and I was unable to locate a more suitable place...
This is directed at someone who does the coding or is familiar with coding I guess...

How long does it take to take a complete 'Card Idea' and actual do the coding to make it a playable card? Assuming that no new mechanic was introduced or anything...

I'm curious =P

i think for this to work you would need a very high cost 8 ish maybe? and then the upgrade would reduce the cost (and not give -2, it would stay -1) ...

although lacks a precedent for this effect unless I'm mistaken...

That's a good point with steam, I guess I wasn't paying attention...

I think making them separate and in a set could work well, although if they were 'totems' then maybe they could upgrade to produce one of each element each turn... after all if your limited then a bit more wiggle room exists... It just seems odd to make a set ('totems' for example) and have them function just like lands... erm pillars T.T ... maybe the elite form can be indestructible but other than that remain the same? ... hmmmmmm

YOu should call the card 'Hot Spring' =P if it's a pillar i think 'totem' should be avoided in the title...

you could always pick a theme for it.. maybe only opposite types...
 
 
 
 
 
 

or just do several common types and let folks create decks with them...

  (like Anubis for instance)
  FFQ
  the mace weapon whose name doth escape me
  poison...

*shrugs* many possibilities...

Card Ideas and Art / Diffrent pillars

« on: May 11, 2010, 08:09:56 pm »

So i was thinking... Are their any ideas for pillars that supply a single quantum but from 2 or more possible elements? for example:
Steam Pillar: generate OR
Holy: OR
Decay: OR
Storm: OR
Void: OR
Damned: OR

or even more...
Terra: OR OR

this could make dual(or more) element builds much more appealing/interesting but it would also be useful to narrow a rainbow decks quantum into a more focused area...

I don't think that this would throw the balance too much though it could be limited to 6 like other cards...

To verify: it would generate one of the possible quantums...
ya know like this kinda thing
Random, x, 1, 2
If x = 1
*generate*
Else
*generate*

wouldn't a ghost be  seeing as it(a ghost/spectre) is dead in every sense of the word?

I like the idea but I wonder if it would be too much... maybe up the cost to  or maybe just have it 'freeze' for a turn and not the -1|-1? The water squid guy can freeze three turns for 3 so i think one turn for  wouldn't be too much... maybe... X.X

if your really worried maybe the age per swarm could have a cap.
