Interesting. I think Naesala was having similar trouble when he tried to post the gravitational bulkward shield card

Edit: oh, quick fix!

[darkrobe]

Multiple use per turn? or just multiple use? and I guess you would have to try and balance attack gain (aka quanta gain) and survivability?

[Naesala]

I'm assuming she had a similar problem getting the graphs to work? Anyways, interesting card, could make mono aether even more powerful though. These guys run off a mark provide almost all the quanta you need, just add a few pillars for security. i dunno, i dont like the idea of mono aether getting stronger

[EvaRia]

I think it's something to do with the way I hadn't upped to imgur yet and the empty image tags didn't let it work properly =X

Anyways, yes, it's multiple use per turn.

It might be a little bit powerful with some of the buffs available right now.

I might lower the upped one to 0 | 4 as well and make it cost 0.

Burst quanta acceleration and damage is exactly what Aether needs in slow decks to not undeservingly fall victim to denial or a lucky rush with PC without any chance of fighting back (Scrambled Shriekers with a redonk hand).

It's quite balanced, as you pay to make it more vulnerable. As such, you'd only play this late if you expected CC. The unupped is even a bit UP, as you can't really use it to rush, but it simply gives Aether another option for faster damage than snail-paced. Even if it's not better than Spider at that, it's another option, and that's very important.

To top it off, the mechanics are interesting. What's the idea behind the name?

I love this idea for quanta generation. I do think the upped version should keep its ability cost.

One thing I notice is that this card has two great ideas - the HP/Attack toggle and the quanta gen equaling the attack - which could easily be split up into separate cards.

So if this card gets Anti-mattered, does it drain quanta from you?

I'd say so.

Hmm, I quite like the idea. It actually makes Heavy Armor somewhat useful too. Quite an interesting quanta generation mechanic.

an Aether Earth combo? wow.

It actually wouldn't make it that useful. Blessing > Heavy Armor in this case as you have to pay 3  to convert the defense to attack and you have to pay 6  to convert the heavy armor. And if you wanted defense you can leave some of the original hp for that, or Chaos Power for upped play. Both of those synergize better with Aether overall so I'm seeing those as much more likely.

Although a Life / Aether duo would be mean, getting 3 ATK + adrenaline Thunder Charger, especially in unupped play, using it to support high cost aether cards.

Very cool idea! Reminds me of MtG
