The air one of the Quanta Related Spells (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,9401.0.html).

I need an art for it, so if anyone want to make or has made an art, you can post here or in the art section.

NAME:
Convection Column
ELEMENT:
Air
COST:
6 :air
TYPE:
Spell
ATK|HP:
-
ABILITY:
All airbone creatures gain +X|+0 where X is the number of air quanta in you own, divided by 8.
CHANGELOG:
    Cost from 6 to 4From divided by 20 to divided by 8
NAME:
Thermal Column
ELEMENT:
Air
COST:
6 :air
TYPE:
Spell
ATK|HP:
-
ABILITY:
All your airbone creatures gain +X|+0 where X is the number of air quanta in you own, divided by 10.
CHANGELOG:
    Cost from 6 to 5From divided by 15 to divided by 10Affects now only your creatures
ART:
No image yet (google placeholder to find this one)
IDEA:
The Dictator
NOTES:
    Bonus is permanent.With the unupgraded version your opponents creatures recieve the bonus too.
SERIES:
Quanta Related Spells (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,9401.0.html)

I like the idea of this card, it gives another use to airborne. It might be a little underpowered, because it gives the opponent the bonus too.
It has a nice synergy with Wyrms ;)

I have to say; this card feels extremely UP'd.
I do say that you lower the quantum that it divides by.
It just wouldn't be that viable in rush decks, which is what I feel air pretty much excels in.
I might be wrong though.

Not sure how it balances myself. Lets see here . . .

Quanta -> Boost to attack (upgraded version)
15 -> +1
30 -> +2
45 -> +3

That might be slightly underpowered . . . although with a fractal damselfly deck this could get scary fast

Would multiple updrafts stack or are we treating this like nightfall?

No, because the upped only effects your creatures, and the unupped effects all creatures.

I kinda want to try this with fractal damselflies now. Could be a really neat deck.

Go with fractal Wyrms, then you can double the whole shebang.

I think fractal darnesflies would be more effective, just because you will generate tons of air quanta.

Imagine the following deck:
Code: [Select]
7mt 7mt 7mt 7mt 7mt 7mt 7n5 7n5 7n7 7n7 7n7 7n7 7n7 7n7 7n9 7n9 7n9 7n9 7n9 7n9 808 808 808 808 808 808 80i 80i 80i 80iThe ?'?? being Thermal Columns

Or you could do -1 darnselfly, -1 eagles eye, +2 elite wyrm.

That way you can use 2 fractals on darnselflies, and one on wyrms, so you have the quanta to use them.
