ART: Art by Flayne IDEA: Flayne NOTES: Soft PC, quite expensive since effect is powerful, quite counterable by CC cards such as Maxwell's demon, shockwave, lightning, Rage Pot, etc. (Yes, the art was selected randomly out of my old works. Although Grindylows and Jengus were considered to look humanoid but with different color skin. If you don't know what they are, search their names.) I am open to suggestions and opinions  SERIES:

So you have what happens if something is placed on the flooded part but can you target one where a creature currently is?

Its only for Permanents, not creatures.

Edit: replace creature with permanent, and re-answer the question please

it is essentially the same mechanic as Flood but with permanents and singular targeting.
So If i target a permanent, the space it is in becomes flooded, next turn, it is destroyed.
same as flood mechanic with creatures.
Basically, its a good way to counter eternity via creature ability.

This seems really strong especially when you think about how permanents are played. Flood the first couple permanent slots and the weapon slot and you get complete permanent lock down for 3 or 4 a turn with no threat to this card beside from spells/skills which if you get this card out early enough will be infrequent since they won't have pillars to generate quanta. Random slots would be much better than being able to target which slot gets flooded

But whats the point of it being random slots when its a really expensive card? waste all that  quanta for a chance at getting the one you want? doesn't sound very useful, Its initial cost is 7, and its ability cost is 3  , having multiple of these out at one go isn't wise unless you have a good way of producing  , in which  doesnt have any easy way to generate  quanta like some elements do, plus water needs a strong mono card since it has too many duo creatures.
also, consider inundation, its not easy pairing it up with inundation since it drains 1  each turn, so essentially you are wasting 4    each turn for good-mid attack and PC, so multiple Grindies on field are not a good idea.
which means its actually a very slow PC, you can't just expect to lockdown the opponent's PC field in one go.
there is a cost to everything.
Plus I aimed this against very crucial weapons and shields such as Eternity and hope (before the enemy gets a chance to play it), so naturally, the player would target those slots first.
its strategic and  needs a strong mono card imo.

For 9 I can destroy all pillars and all future permanents? Really?

yeah but did you read notes?
the same thing applies to it as inundation, if you kill it, all the slots are released.
I was thinking of lowering its hp so its easier to kill, like squid.

Quint? Cloak? Even without those a targeted flooding slot is extremely powerful because it keeps on giving.

The same applies to Inundation with Protect artifact, and if i remember correctly, it was buffed and now only requires 1  per turn.
basically, theres a good synergy now between Poseidon and inundation thanks to that buff.
 PA + Inundation + Poseidon = similar effect but cheaper on pillar destruction, essentially pillar drying up the player so they can't play anything at all.

Flooding still provides wiggle room to work around it since it only floods the front and back rows and certain creature types can survive it. Trident requires a duo and can only target pillars. Perhaps since you designed it to counter crucial weapons limit it's targeting to only the weapon and shield slots? This would prevent a possible complete lock down from lack of any permanents.
