NOTES:
***The art is only the concept right now.  I will update the images when I finish making the art.***

This was originally my thought behind an alchemy card for the Other element.  However, I couldn't think of a name that would fit with the alchemy theme.

Focus is an active ability.
2 (other): When the target creature attacks this turn, its attack cannot miss.

How does this fit in Elements? I mean Scope is a modern invention.

Next we could arm Ruslers with heavy machine guns.

 :))  Right.  I guess that doesn't really make sense.  I'll change the name and the art.

The idea is not bad, though like Scaredgirl, I think the name and art need a change.  Howsabout Focus|Control, or something like that?  Also, I suggest making it :light instead of other, but thats just me.

Thank you for the suggestion.  I fixed the name and the Light element.  I also edited the cost of the unupped version to make it cost Light quanta, and I reduced the cost to 9 to compensate for it being a specific element.

Focus is an active ability.
2 (other): When the target creature attacks this turn, its attack cannot miss.
So it's like an active skill of Momentum only without the +1|+1

Yes.  However, it can also be used on another, non-immaterial creature.  The other difference is that it only lasts one turn.

That leaves me with a conundrum.  I can either leave things as they are and hope that the cards aren't too UP, or I can change the effect of the ability Focus.

I think the benefit of this card is that it can reduce the need for multiple Momentum/Unstoppable in Rainbow decks.  The downside is that it is ineffecient in its use of quanta.   I'm not as experienced as some, so I would appreciate your thoughts as to whether the benefit outweighs the downside.
