NOTES:
Alright, here's how this works. You play this card and target a card in someone's hand. That card is now Chained, and the icon appears (probably on the space for the card name). When that card is played, a card is drawn to replace it. The card drawn is automatically Chained, and so the cycle continues. The effect does not apply if a Chained card is discarded.
The Chained icon (made by Thalas) is
If you're wondering why I used "chained," it's because of the card's effect: it creates a chain of draws.

I love the idea, but
I think you should lower the cost, 7 is high for a simple spell.
&
I think you should drop the part about the next card being chained, perhaps make this a permanent that applies chained for a cost?

My worry here is that, depending on the deck, this could allow a person to play a ludicrous amount of cards in one turn.

On a second note, perhaps if this could also be used on your opponent?

This card would be the time equivalent of fractal/mitosis/crusader it circumvents a common limitation (well 2 but 1 in an important way) in a potent way. It would keep the chaining effect and the high cost for this gives lots of card advantage over the course of a game and is also useful for milling the opponent.

This card has my approval.

Oh yeah, this would be good to use on your opponent, huh... I'll fix that. :P

The next card being chained is kind of the point. If it was only one card, then it would be an INCREDIBLY UP card with Precog in the same element. As for being a permanent, that's not a terrible idea, but Golden Nymph already does something similar.
My worry here is that, depending on the deck, this could allow a person to play a ludicrous amount of cards in one turn.
...also kind of the point? Think about it for a minute: if you're going to play a lot of cards in one turn, you'll need a lot of quanta.
On a second note, perhaps if this could also be used on your opponent?

Awesome mechanic. Balance wise it has OldTrees approval.

This card has excellent synergy with many cards. Upgraded Chain would be a strong addition to those SuperNova rushes to get out the creatures. Imagine if you chain a SuperNova and keep recieving SuperNova for few turns and after that just keep placing every creature from your deck one by one.

Overall a great card. Only lack of awesomeness i see is that name 'Chain' is a bit too plain. What about the name ' Chains of Time ' ?

Nice edit on the art. But i tried to improve it further to fit the style in Elements similar to the 3d art like the hourglass.

My real-life sucks. So i come online to compensate that.

Thanks! How does "Temporal Chain" sound?
Thanks for the art, but it seems too much like a permanent instead of a spell... I guess that's the problem with having a spell named after an object. :P

Temporal Chains sounds better. What about ' Chain of Continuity ' ? It suddenly rushed into my mind when visualizing the mechanism of this card.

About art, everyone likes the art modified by themselves. If you like my edit, you are free to use it in anytime (Just credit the same link as the one you have now).

this would be really fun to have in a full time tower deck, with 6 train of thought. A possible 1 turn deckout loss. sounds like fun  :P
