Does it really need the upgraded cost with the upgraded card?  Does the tower automatically enter play, or does it go to your hand?

Well, it's a good long-term investment, no? ;)

I actually like it a lot. You could make a Rustler-esque deck that fuels :air instead of :life with this card. Not much to correct it with because it looks pretty good.

Well, not literally. The art is... not really art and Planplan's generator doesn't support icons in the detail section, but you get what I mean. ;)

The tower/pillar goes into play.

As to the upped cost, you're right that it's probably unneeded. Thinking about it, the only thing the tower does is add another quanta.

I'll update the image later.

Not a big fan of the theme here.

You boil water and get a tower?! How does that work?

Originally, it was a spell that for free/one other combined a water and fire pillar into two air ones. But I decided I liked this better.

As to making a tower, it seemed the simplest way to go. I could have had it make a creature "steam" or something, but that would have made it unneeded. When you think about it, how does a Sapphire pillar create water "quanta"? I mean, the only thing they have in common is blue. What is "quanta", anyway? Come to think of it, why does maxwell's demon kill creatures with a higher attack than defense? How is that a paradox? How the heck does a fire shield hurt a lava golem? It IS on fire itself, right? And what about ...

Yeah. It's a friggin' card game. It doesn't have to make perfect sense.

Anyway, the idea is that when you boil something you create steam, which to me is a part of air. Since you're creating a part of air, you're creating air quanta in a sense. Hence, you're creating a pillar. (As to the new steam card, that makes sense because it RUNS on steam, instead of creating it).

Alternatively, we could just make it boring like the rustler and have it make 2 air per fire.

Well, using that logic I could make a Magic Cookie that turns into an Elephant! Or a Giant Pillow that generates :aether during full moon.

Sure it's a game, but I like it when there's some kind of logic behind the ideas.

There is. Just read what's after that.

Sure, it doesn't EXACTLY fit, but it's more interesting. It fits at least as much as a blue tower producing quanta of a blue element, if not more ;).

Lol, wonder how many people woke up this morning and said "lets combo fire and water to make the fuel of an air deck."

Alright. I also upped the cost to two, because it's better than a leaf dragon in that it makes a wind tower which continues making more quanta and it's a permanent.

A nicer Royalty Free Image without WATER MARK, I'm going to call a denial to Water marks.
