That's a really potent effect for something that only costs 4. After all it's doubling the amount of damage you're dealing.

How's this work with adrenaline?

[Lordpants]

I think with adrenaline it would just add one more attack instead of it attacking the full amount twice.

So an example would be a leaf dragon who attacks four times, would only attack five times, just so its not super overpowered with adrenaline.

I also thought it would be balanced with the number of shields that stop attacks (Turtle shield and Phase Shield) while I think it helps more against Dissipation Shield and Bone Wall, because of there numbers, also, it has a terrible time against Fire Buckler, and Permafrost Shield, since they could be frozen on the first attack, While Dusk and Fog could make them miss altogether, most decks run shields, and the rush decks usually need there quantum for the creatures they put out, hence why I made it cost 4, maybe I should upgrade it to 5. Thanks for the input.

Lordpants, you'd think it'd be balanced with shields such as Turtle Shield and Phase Shield?
I beg to differ.

This shard out of all of them has been the one that stood out to me as overpowered. 4 random quanta to attack twice in one turn. That is very strong. Imagine throwing 6 of these in a Fractal Phoenix deck, or Mono rush for that matter :|

I would also envision some sort of HP related ability as opposed to it affecting creatures with the name Shard of Determination, or maybe we could Chimera the ideas

What I would suggest is to change it to something like:

If your health is 1/4 or is under 1/4 of its maximum, all of your creatures attack twice this turn. If it is above 1/4 of its maximum all your creatures gain Momentum for 1 turn.

...Or something along those lines...

[Lordpants]

So what your saying is put a limit on which creatures are able to attack twice, like maybe creatures with 4 or less attack get to attack twice, I was thinking of doing that.

Oh I see what you meant Hyroen *facepalm* Yeah that actually doesn't seem so bad, I may make it If your under 50hp, since a lot of decks like to wait to attack.

*Alright, fixed it so it wouldn't too overpowered*

CURATOR COMMENT
To get approved for the competition:
-Fix the discrepancies between the card text and the table (the card text and the ability description must match word for word; do not forget about punctuation matching as well)
-Leave the 'Atk|HP' section blank if it is not a creature

[Lordpants]

Fixed =)

Fixed =)

Not quite. Please take a look at your non-upgraded card text in the image and see what the differences are between that and the words/punctuation in the Ability section of your table.

[Hyroen]

What would it do if you have HP > 30?

[Lordpants]

Okay now its 100% the same, and, I suppose it wouldn't do anything when played above the 30 hitpoint value.

[Kuroaitou]

Okay now its 99.9% the same- [snip]
