Deck Destruction Concept

[ManectricMan]

This is a concept seen in a lot of popular card games today, and I'd like to see a bit of it in Elements. I thought of these a while ago, but I'm open for critique (in fact, I encourage it).

Chronoton | Age Elemental
  | 
0/1
Time Rot: This card cannot attack. At the end of each turn, discard a card from the top of your opponent's deck.

Sands of Time | Sands of Time
  |
Permanent
  : Discard one card in your hand  that shares an element with a pillar you control. Send cards from your opponent's deck to the graveyard equal to the cost.

Life Cord | Life Cord
  | 
Permanent
Every time a creature attacks, it's owner discards a card and gains Life equal to the damage they deal out. When upgraded, this only applies to your opponent.

Clockwork King
  Time Quanta
0/10 (0/15)
  |  Quanta: Your opponent draws cards until their hand is full.

I thought that Time would be the best element for this, since it doesn't have much power behind it, but has excellent control. Like I said, critique is appreciated. ^^

Of all cards to be considered balanced, I lay my money on Clockwork King, since he isn't getting rid of cards, just causing the deck to get smaller. Plus, this is a decent Fractal breaker.

you must not have seen the huge stink that caused dune scorpion to be changed from "opponent discards a card from their hand after a successful attack" because basically its not going to happen after all that fuss

[Nepycros]

Clockwork King looks different though. The opponent isn't losing cards, they're drawing them. This is a curse, as they'll run out of cards faster, plus it prevents Fractal's effectiveness. It's balanced, in that it has a positive effect to counter the negative effect.

sorry, should have specified the you was manetcric, not nepy.  the thread title is deck destruction, and the majority of the cards applied to my statement

IMO it's so close to magic the gathering's way. I prefere to build a new concept more particular of this game

Do not create discard effects because the community doesn't like it. Also, try having images for these.

I like most of the ideas, but I would question balance.

Chronoton | Age Elemental - Too much chance to spam them with fractal.  Even with a 60 card deck, 1 turn with 6 of them, which would not be hard with fractal, is a tenth of the deck, which is pretty big for a single turn.  I think its just a bit too strong of an effect to be on a card so cheap.

Sands of Time | Sands of Time - I guess it would be expensive, but, still, the effect is pretty big.  I would say maybe a spell, and it would be ok, so its one use only.  The fact that it requires time and death helps balance this.

Life Cord | Life Cord - I actually really like this, but, again, I think it could use a bit of balance.  It would, however, make a great card for stall decks.

Clockwork King - A bit light nightmare, good synergy with dune scorpion, yes, I think this one sounds pretty good all in all.

I like the idea of forcing discards, something stall decks could certainly use, but the cost would need to be fairly high.  I would love to see more of this, as discarding is something that would likely really help the game, as a whole.
