interesting card. can give you a quanta burst but may hurt you in the long game. not even remotely useable in rainbow decks, more of a mono card

This + Quantum Pillar = a bit more than Nova. It's all right, I guess, but Supernova is better.
To be or not to be, I can do both at once. Go learn quantum mechanics, n00b.

"Sacrifice" is spelled incorrectly on the card, that's a quick fix.

It really does seem a bit underpowered. A card that could be played on itself for 15 or so random quanta would probably be right about balanced--you'd be getting slightly more than Nova, but accepting the risk that you might not get the quanta you need most. But needing this + a tower to get 15/18 random quanta hurts it pretty badly.

Compare to Immolation/Cremation. You can play a photon and cremate it for 9 fire quanta + 11 other quanta, compared to playing a burning tower and imploding it for 6 fire quanta and that's it. I think it does make sense that this new card would be less efficient since pillars are more ubiquitous than expendable creature cards, but 5/6 quanta vs. 18/20 is pretty bad. If it was 5/6 of the tower's type plus one for all others I think that would be more in line with existing fast mana. (Obviously, quantum towers would either be 5/6 randoms + 1 of everything, or 15/18 randoms but no extras--because there are no "other" elements.)

^^^^^
this guy has the right idea. maybe make it give 1 of each type plus 3-6 random other quanta for a quantum pillar and 8-10 for a normal pillar

This card is designed purely as an option to speed up mono/duo decks.  Rainbow already has a huge advantage with Nova/Supernova so I see no reason why Implode needs to be equally advantageous for quantum pillars/towers.

The amount of quanta generated is up for debate.  My reasoning for 5/6 was that this card is a lot easier to slip into a deck than the comparable Immolation.  For Immolation you really need to plan your deck around it because it usually requires a specific creature to blow up.  Implode will work in any deck that uses pillars/towers.

I think I'd dread drawing this card rather than another tower.

Is the reference to Pillar on the basic card and Tower on the upped card interchangeable? I think it could be stupidly constraind without that ability to target any pillar type.

Needs the Spell icon added to the Card Image before It can go into the Crucible.

I figured unupgraded card = pillars... upgraded card = towers.  I'll update the description and add the spell icon when I get home tonight.

Updated
- added spell icon
- buffed to 6 and 7 quanta
- minor touch ups
- submitted
