ART: IDEA: eljoemo NOTES: Like a dusk shield, except it depends on how much quanta you have. Ideally this would update live, but it's probably fine updating at the end of your turn, like Hope does. The upped is different because I wanted it to be, I could always just switch to a cost decrease if its going to be a problem. All questions and constructive criticism welcome. SERIES:

It takes either a long time or a big part of the deck to get 50 quanta of a single element.
Thus, I think dusk is almost always better.
Perhaps lower the cost of the unupped. Not sure about the upped.

Cremation would get you there pretty fast.
The unupgraded one seems a little too weak though since there is no way to accelerate gravity production.

Using upgraded sundials you can buy several turns to get the quanta you need.

75% evasion chance is nothing to sneeze at... and it synnergies well with farenheit and bolt strategies that require a lot of focus on quanta generation to begin with.
Plus it makes a very nice shield for a fire deck.

Supernovas and quantum towers would get you there pretty fast.
I think the upped version is still quite forced... It will either be crappy in non-bow decks, or else become like an infinite duration phase shield in focused decks (this happens at 100 + quanta).

how will SN or quantum towers help you get a single element?
how will you get over 75 quanta of a single type?

thought it was any quanta when I first read it. still very viable with cremation though.

The main purpose of this card was just to give Gravity a better shield. The upped being mark quanta was just something I thought might be a nice touch, if it's going to be a problem I can switch it out.

Something I can see is that once you reach around 75 quanta it is practically impossible for your opponent to knock you down. Discord can only scramble 9, Pests can only do 1 each, you basically end up with a 75% shield. Of course its still vulnerable to PC but its still going to be a massive pain unless you stop it early.

So, earthquake and Amber nymph anti-stall-stallingbow ftw?   

Anyway, a nice touch for Gravity. 75% chance of missing with your quanta pool at max is a nice touch. Would be nice in a rage quit deck.

I think the cost should go way way down, like, as low as Fog. The reason being that for a long time it isn't even going to be as good as Fog, and costing 6 just to play it will only hinder it further.

[AD TienzuStorm]

I'd imagine the upped would be fun in a Gravy/Light stall whatwith Light's insane quanta gainingness power (yay for grammar).

But I'd have to agree with UndeadSpider that the cost could and maybe should be lower.

[eljoemo]

Lowered the cost to 3 / 4 , we'll see how that turns out. I also have an idea for art that I think will look really sweet so you might see that in the near future.

One more thing, I'm not sure if the upped should have a slightly different name since it has a different effect, any thoughts about this?
