Funny coincidence. I just suggested almost the same idea to Prnc Athrr

A lesser effect would work as a permanent.
Ex:
Sanctions: Creatures and weapons drain/absorb quanta to attack.
(Drain would prevent attacks if there was no quanta. Absorb would kill creatures/weapons if there was no quanta)

This variant probably should cost more especially if it stacks.

I knew I read something similar somewhere lol

I think it probably shouldn't stack, since it could get nasty real fast.

When a defensive permanent doesn't stack it might be better as a shield. (Shields use the shield slot and cost ~3quanta less)

Thing is, it's already cheap enough and also works against you (I like it better that way, compared to how Phase Shield and SoSac work atm). Making it a shield would only be trading the card cost (duplicates aren't cool) and self-harm for a "lower cost" (except it becomes balanced so that the cost actually increases), which would cause it to shift its niche away from the splash-able category.

1) It only affects enemy creatures.
2) Based on ^ it is too powerful at its current cost.
Making it a shield would help rebalance it while retaining the splash-able nature.
