IDEA:
Kael Hate, Revived by OldTrees
NOTES:
This is a slightly modified version of Kael Hate's card (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5642) with the same name. He gave me permission to revive this card.

Unlike normal pillars this is limited to 6 of a kind per deck.
It forms stacks like normal pillars

This does have an effective cost of 1quanta/1 turn when compared to a elemental pillar/pendulum.

It was and remains designed to provided reliable quanta for trio+ decks. It is most useful for trios and quads but would make competitive quints possible.
"deck" in the card text refers to your starting deck, not the deck as it currently is during play.

%chance for a quanta type is the number of basic pillars/towers of that element divided by the total number of elemental pillars/pendulum in the deck at the start of play. Ie Deck has 10 elemental pillars, 1 :light, 2 :time, 3 :entropy, 4 :aether then the percentage chances are 1/10 = 10% :light, 2/10 = 20% :time. 3/10 = 30% :entropy, 4/10 = 40% :aether.
It treats pendulums as if they were pillars of the same element. It will ignore your mark.
Produces nothing if your starting deck has no elemental pillars or pendulums.
It will ignore Quantum pillars

Looks good. How does this interact with a Quantum pillar ?
My real-life sucks. So i come online to compensate that.

It ignores quantum pillars.

This will allow it to still provide quanta fixing in decks that need steady pools from some elements and uses quantum pillars for tiny amounts from other elements.

I believe that the wording could be improved to " A random elemental pillar in hand or play generates a quanta each turn ". This is how i understand how the card works ? Is it true ?

That is true and it is a better way to phrase it. Phrasing updated.

Not in hand or play but in your deck
Currently it uses your original deck list because that seemed less code intensive.

Since my Idea, the quanta environment has changed.
It could plausible have their cost reduced by 1 or even 2 on both basic and upped.

Hmm... i can see the use for this card. kind of original (from both of you. ;) ) and useful in almost any non-rainbow deck other than immolation/RoL. In the case of a pendulum, it produces the element of the pendulum itself, not including your mark on the possibilities, correct?

Costs updated to 1|0.
It now costs an effective 1 quanta more than an elemental pillar/pendulum.

It treats pendulums as if they were pillars of the same element. It will ignore your mark.

Perhaps there could an Other pillar series consisting of cards like this, Void Pillar, and Guardian Pillar? (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,23269.0.html) ;)

Liking the card - like the rest of the quantum mechanics series improves element decks that run a medium number of elements but not enough to justify quantum pillars.

Also, I've made some art for the card as well.
