ART:
I found this image in this topic (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5998.0.html) and modified it with photoshop.
IDEA:
Kaos.
NOTES:
I don't know if the cost is well balanced.

Anyway first you discard your hand, and then you add a copy of each card in your opponent's hand to yours. This card fits the darkness concept of "using your opponent's resources", and in my opinion could work very well with Nightmare (everyone want to buff it  8)) or with a rainbow deck with a good darkness quanta production.^^
SERIES:
-
Third card. ù_ù

Hope my english is good enough to make you understand my ideas. xD

Nice. This would be a very nice mono Nightmare buff.

Lovely idea. I would probably give a cost buff though: "For each card discarded this way, you gain :darkness." This basically means that you can play it for cheaper.. or at least get back a part of the cost if your hand is full, because you *are* losing cards this way.

Kaos.

I chose a high cost to limit its use in a rainbow deck, but the idea of gaining " :darkness" for each discarded card is good.^^

As it is, this card actually *copies* cards in your opponent's hand, which is an aether-ish effect. To be fully darkness-ish, it should instead *steal* cards from your opponent. This would be a much more powerful effect, deserving a cost of 11|10 imo.

No, using the opponent's strength is sufficient. The opponent saved card therefore you are taking advantage of their savings.

Aether intersects this aspect of card generation and resource parasitism

Got some errors in your table:
  • Please change the ELEMENT section of the table from  :darkness to Darkness.
    • The :darkness image represents quanta, not the element name.
    • By using :darkness in that section of the table, you are stating that this card is the element of "pay one darkness quantum".
    • Therefore, the element symbol and the element name are not interchangeable.
  • Please fix the COST section of the table:
    • 7 should be 7 :darkness.
    • 6 should be 6 :darkness.
  • Please remove the text in parenthesis in the NAME section in the second column of the table. It is imperative that the information on the table matches the information on the card image exactly.
  • In the ART section of the table, please provide a link to the image.
    • Even if you found the image on this forum, you must still give a link and credit to the artist.
    • If you modified the image, please state so in the ART section after the link and original artist's name.
    • the only exception to this rule is if you are using art from Elements the Game, which has allowed free use of it's art within the forums. (although it's common courtesy to credit the art as Zanzarino).
