Soul Pillar | Soul Tower

[OldTrees]

Hey dude, I found some awesome stock on deviantART for this card... I'm waiting on permission to pass it along, required for use outside deviantART.  (You'll like it.)

...I got tired of seeing such an esteemed card creator use an MS Paint thing for his avatar. 

What is the link? (I will wait for the permission before updating the card image/avatar of course.)

Oh right, I can do that, can't I.

Wow. That is niiice.
Thanks!

I really like this card. I really think that elements needs something to make trios (and possibly quartets) viable. Adding something like this or my quantum harmonizer card to the game would allow huge numbers of decks to be added to the metagame.

My only small (and I mean incredibly small) complaint is the name. Soul Pillar doesn't really seem to fit to me. I think Harmonic Pillar would be better, as you're bringing harmony between the elements.

Also, that picture is quite nice.

Harmonic Pillar (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5643.0.html) was already done by Kael Hate. He also did the original version of this one.

Also, that picture is quite nice.

I like the art as well. With it and the proper support, this card could be seeing itself relatively quickly in the game, even.

Thanks. Credit goes to Kael Hate original author of Soul Pillar and the Armory Card "Harmonic Pillar"
If you can think of a better name other than Harmonic that would be welcome.

Considering the new art, how about "Scrying Pillar" or "Foresight Pillar", since it's looking at the pillars in your deck?

Useful names but they seem closer to a Obelisk with an oracular Activated ability.

Imitating Pillar/Tower? kind of awkward I know, but it's the bet so far imho

For an alternate take on the name, at first I thought Probability, since the event of each pillar is mathematically calculated. It sounded awkward though, so I looked around and thought of:

Pillar of Determinism : Determinism is when objects or events are defined by prior states (sort of like cause and effect). This pillar determines quantum from pillars that you will draw in the future.
Certainty Pillar : You are more certain of generating certain quantums than a quantum pillar since you know what pillars and pendula you've put in your deck.

I think a pillar the reflects the soul of your deck fits better than imitating so far.
Emulating Pillar could work but I am not sure.

Now I get why you called it that, though (to me) the name implies a death/darkness/entropy feel.
