NAME: Despair ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 7 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: 4|4 TEXT: Weapon: Inflict N damage, where N is the number of quanta-absorbing monsters on your side of the field.	NAME: Despair ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 8 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: 5|4 TEXT: Weapon: Inflict 1+N damage, where N is the number of quanta-absorbing monsters on your side of the field.

ART: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1098525 IDEA: BBs22 NOTES: I tried to make this card the opposite of the light shield, "Hope". Amber Nymph's ability absorbs quanta, so Amber Nymph will work with this card (although it's rare to get). The att|hp only applies when this weapon is animated. SERIES:

Using art from Photobucket is not allowed; please find a different picture.

Please read the art usage sticky for more information: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21363.0.html

EDIT: Fixed; thank you.

If a card requires a 2+ combo to be useful and if that combo only has 1 option for the other card then the card it far far too situational.

Changed. Is sxc.hu a good site?
OldTrees, this is the description for Hope:

Shield: Physical damage reduced by N. N is the number of your light emitting creatures

I tried to make this card the opposite of Hope.

Yes. Just make sure that you credit the artist in your card and the table.

Additionally, for this image, the artist has requested that you contact them and tell them that you're using their art. (Look at the Availability section for the art link you posted for details).

I just left a comment (not just said something random).
pikachufan2164, I notified sardinelly and gave her credit in the, "Art by" section of the card image.

OT is right in most cases. However, since Hope is JUST as situational as this card, I see no reason why this can't be used. Heck, I'd love to see an RoL/Hope versus Pestal/Despair.

I really like this card. It would be epic to see RoL/Hope VS Pestal/Despair.

We can simply make more quanta-destroying creatures. This might even have synergy with my Void series.

My point is that more pest like creatures need to enter the game before this becomes a good idea.
It is a lesson in patience and priorities.

So far, if you are allowed to have 6 of an unupped card and 6 of its upped form, the most damage a nymph-less person like me can do with this card is 12.
