CRUCIBLE Level 1

These card ideas have been approved by our community and Card Curators. We will have a vote every week, and the most popular ideas will be moved to the next level, the Forge.

If you want your card listed here, please make sure that your idea meets the requirements.

NOTE: Cards with a '*' symbol before them will not be eliminated from the current list of options when the current round of voting is over, and usually imply that they have entered the Crucible after the polls have already started. Ones with multiple '*' mean that they will survive for additional rounds per '*'.

Voted for dimensional gate another of SG's impending doom cards, also reminds me of Discworld which is always good.

[Wardead]

Dimensional Gate is very good. Maybe because SG made it?

[Avenger]

Actually, i don't like any of the 3 cards. Dimensional gate is OP to me (one card to summon all the nasties you need to win). The mount is UP (there is no copiable target). The celestial sky is lopsided.

[Ant-n-ero]

of the 3 there --- gate gets my vote - that would make PvP more challenging and FGs easier (in theory!)
if it is too overpowered then just limit them to 2 or 3 instead of the full 6 and bing bang boom - problem solved
also why are you guys moaning about being OP - counter it like anyone else does with an EQ of deflag

mount is good - but copies a very weak target - not that usefull in an aether deck as you will have PUs anyway :|

celestrial sky --- why would i want that? >_<

It is a small pool, and there is no requirement to vote.
If there was a mechanical posibility I would would request that we do a negative vote so, you can vote no against some cards rather than have to choose between various evils.

This vote also only means aether has representation in the forge. If the Gate idea gets there then it will be against at least 2 other Permanents when being voted on in the forge.

Question, Why wouldn't you want the ability to easily access multiple types of quanta within the one deck? Do you only ever play pure mono?

[Kuroaitou]

As much as I love the Dimensional Portal/Gate card, Starlit Sky makes a lot of sense to me (not just in theme), but in terms of quanta generation.

  - these elements have a SURPRISINGLY good mix of synergy between them (Fractal + Devourer, Anubis + immortality, Sundials w/Light, Ray of Light + Hope + Fractal, etc.), I don't know who WOULDN'T want this card, considering its numerous applications of supporting these elements, and in addition, for creating new synergies for those elements in question. So this one gets my vote.

...I really don't know about the mount idea, but it's okay I guess. The mount series as a whole just need to be put into the Series section of the Card Ideas & Art forum and used as the first example of how to do a 'proper' series.

if you're playing mono this makes it useless - you dont need the other quantas
the only way this will work is rainbows/trio/duo that dont use  because otherwise you get nothing from this card?
makes a lot of cards suck when played in combo

just my opinion on why you cant use it
although i guess could be alright if you want to sacrifice abilities of the 4 types

pros is you can use aether/time (eggs) better :/

So its not that dislike it, just that you don't like it enough to care about it.

Thats cool. Its my idea and if thats the case then I guess I need to look at other things that answer the quanta generation desire that a portion of players want.

[Ant-n-ero]

yes i don't not like it i just see it as not good for my style of play at the moment...
  i use a lot as i'm fairly new and am trying to get masteries (using FFQ for AI3 grind to get cash to try other techniques/decks)
and scaredgirls almost upupd deck im not very good at yet (no ups) and doesnt seem to work with me so yer :L
i used to use a time and aether deck and now im life and air so...

the card is good yes, but it limits the deck too much to specific types if you want one-- also many cards abilites are limited too - such as if you were running a time and aether deck -- the eggs are less likely to use abilities as you effectively only have 4 possible quanta types
maybe if you were to produce X quanta of the ones you chose for X of the other 4 that you sacrifice? (upd is 2 times X)
unlimited ability maybe?

e.g. i have 2 /1 /1
Celetrial sky is on the field already
i use it for as many time as i want (like rustler photo)
It takes 1 death - i gain 1 time
it takes 1 entropy - i gain another time
it takes 1 death again - i gain darkness
last time takes 1 life - i gain aether

upgraded
i have 2 /1 /1

It takes 1 death - i gain 2 time
it takes 1 entropy - i gain another 2 time
it takes 1 death again - i gain 2 darkness
last time takes 1 life - i gain 2 aether

these are my views (ofc cost etc will have to change maybe) but it's up to you... i just think this way you can implement it into a rainbow deck with good pluses rather than restricitons...

Interesting, but one of the requirements for new quanta production tools is not to make Rainbow stronger but to make the 2-4 element decks comparable to Mono's speed and Rainbows flexability.
