and specify somewhere that the ability is to be used 1 time per turn.
should it be only once a turn?

Yep, otherwise you could just win the game with 50  :time quanta which is ridiculously easy to achieve (assuming your opponent is at full HP)

I like this card idea, I just worry about the synergy of time and death.   Maybe death and fire or death and dark would work better.

I have been waiting for a card like this, it really adds pressure to a game, and you could definitely make decks around it.

thanks  :)
Originally it was a time card with gravity effect (happens over time, and gravity influencing sun/planets etc can quicken extinction process), although death with a time marker works well thematically as well. Probably better. Extinction=death and it happens over time/time speeds it up.

So in that sense unsure of fire or darkness, you'd have to try convince me thematically :s
Yeah, like the pressure too, beats shields etc, everything......but also harms yourself too!

You could spin it with any element really, if you try hard enough. 

Fire/ extinction:  The world is heating up
Water:  The world is entering an ice-age
Dark:  The eclipse of life, the sun is failing
Life:  Too many consumers, not enough resources (though that may be called bottleneck)

etc.

Famine maybe? Anyway, the general name "Extinction" sounds good enough to me :P

CURATOR COMMENT
-You have the wrong ELEMENT in the table (it should be 'Death', not 'Time')


I don't know about these cards - yes, it's "balanced" in that they hurt you as well, but I just don't like the idea of having everyone just 'die' by spamming counters on these permanents. Also, what would happen if both players die of the effect? Would the owner win or lose?

Maybe you could have the card do damage to the owner first, then the opponent.  That would resolve draws.

I take it a draw is not possible, and is not likely to be introduced to game?

When I heard Extinction I thought of a Death card that means your opponent cant play that creature again :P Might be too strong though.

Sounds interesting - go for it! If the costing's right, it could work!
Famine maybe? Anyway, the general name "Extinction" sounds good enough to me :P
Famine is when both players are subjected to drought (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,19513.0.html)

Fire/ extinction:  The world is heating up
Water:  The world is entering an ice-age
Dark:  The eclipse of life, the sun is failing

etc.
yeah guess so....good themes there, perhaps some could lead to new cards...?

How about it keeps both players at 1HP until an 'alternative ending' is reached. Extinction cannot kill both at same time? :s
