This is for stall decks, not rushes, crowbar. I don't even see the need to quint this, necessarily... the only effect that will prevent the damage going off is Rewind. Freeze, damage spells, poison, devour, lobotomize all make it go off early. Pack this in an Earth stall with Time mark and a handful of pendulums and BB it, then commence stalling your enemy and wait for the bomb to go off. The upped version behaves like a Deja Vu with Momentum, and requires only one element to run.
Really, if Parallel Universe transfers the counters to the copy, that's a better Aether combo for this card than Quint is.
