Nice and clean, I like a lot! Best part is how it works almost seamlessly with Dissipation Shield; while Magey here drains quanta, it also saves some for the shield; mind you, the same won't necessarily count for the upped shield X3
Anyway, If the opponent has 0 attack and then switched, would it die?

[Ajit]

As of right now yes it would die.  Thanks for the comment

Suggested many times before, but shot down because of Armagio, Massive Dragon, Flying Titan, and creatures buffed with Basilisk Blood.

Really like this card. Fits entropy really good imo.

It just works on enemy. So abuse of high defense creatures for attack is impossible. Correct me if I'm wrong ^^.

The art is cool.

Good work.

Hmm Flying Titan - 8/50 becomes 50/8 momentumed.
Throw in an Air Blitz and PU.

GG. I Like.

And then cry, cause the ability only works on opponent's creatures.

Seems very balanced, considering its defense and a new form of CC, great idea, imo this would be a great addition to the game,
and praises to both artists, fits the theme nicely, great work.

Yes. I really like this card. The idea is really cool. What I dont like (I've said this before) is that the costs of upped and unupped are the same. I think it would be better to increase the skill cot of unupped to 3 , and leave upped the same. Also, it wouldn't be bad to increase the HP to at least 4, make it more bolt resistant.
I dont understand how is absorb going on. Is it like a pest or just drain 1 ? I think it would be better to work like a pest, because if your opponent doesnt have entropy quanta, then its not worthy. And if it works like a pest, then lower the attack. It is too high anyway. I suggest 4|4 for unupped and 5|5 for upped. And maybe you could make unupped cost 5 to play, because this way, fractal+the card is kinda OP.

So, my changes would be:
- Change the skill cost of unupped
- Make it work like a pest
- Change cost of unupped to play to 5

Also, great art.

Absorb means it has an upkeep cost of 1 at the end of your turn or it dies.

As I have said before:
I like the card art
It goes into new balancing territory (How much is Absorb a debuff?)
It balances a much loved but broken mechanic by making it target the enemy creatures only

[joebob777]

i can only think of one way to break this card, and sadly, it in the same element, antimatter,
but dont worry, fractal has singlehandedly broken many cards before, im sure it will be fine

The new series has arrived, and it's opening card does not disappoint.  A great combo with Antimatter (negative Hp=dead creature) and paradox (You haz Massive Dragon or Titan? I haz attack swapz!).  My only problem is dive - would the new value become it's original value again?


Otherwise, great card, and I'm looking foward to this series.
