Gluon|Micro Black Hole

[doublecross]

Lemme try and justify its existence.

First of all, its low cost can allow non-gravity decks to still have some basic healing/quanta denial, without shards.

Secondly, it would allow for some interesting combos where you have to buff and then kill your own creatures.

Thirdly, it would be nice for gravity to have some low cost, low health creatures.

Fourthly, the upgraded could easily fit in any deck, allowing tons of possibilities.

Fifthly, it would give  /   synergy due to the possibility of combining this with fractal, which still wouldn't be too powerful for it to be OP, for it would be at worst slightly stronger than 2 black holes, and would cost the same as two black holes, but in  instead of  , and requiring more cards.

[OldTrees]

Sufficient justification IMO. (specifically 4&5. 2&3 were not convincing.)

[Nepycros]

A 4 card combo allows for someone to easily not only deal extensive amounts of damage, but drain huge amounts of quanta, increasing every single round. Overdrive works as well. Is gluon's ability passive? Or can I lobotomize away its ability?

[doublecross]

It can be lobotomized.

[Nepycros]

Damn. Overdrive won't work then.

[doublecross]

Well, if you guys feel that this would have a place in the game with it as a passive, I would seriously consider changing it.

Awesome! Anyone want to format this into something that I could go ahead and submit?

I am really, really terrible at formatting card pages. (Usually EmeraldTiger does it for me, to be honest...)

hope this helps.

Everyone is thinking about buffing it to increase it's attack and drain epic amounts of quanta from enemies, but what about a typical upgraded Cremation rush? They usually use Rays of Lights or Ball Lightning as immolation fodder, but considered the upgraded version is free, why not replace those with this card? Cremating is killing. So besides getting +9/+1/+1... quanta, the opponent gets -1/-1/-1... too. This makes fire rushes so much more powerful; cremation will be buffed from recieving 20 quanta to recieving 20 and destroying 12 (total of 32 quanta affected) (in case of rainbow enemy with eash quanta slot filled). The fire deck wouldn't suffer any costs at all either for replacing them, it's just a pure buff.

I'd like to see more counters against rainbows, but this is just overkill... cremation would be buffed by up to 60% (note that most people on PvP2 use rainbow).

I think this is a well-balanced card with a good concept seed.

CURATOR COMMENT
-Add a '0' in the COST section of the upgraded card's table (leaving it blank may seem intuitive for most users, but several other cards in the upper levels also have '0' for cards that don't have a cost)
-Fix the typo of 'Creature' in the TYPE section of the upped table
-Fix the discrepancies in the TEXT sections:

"Upon death drains up to X quanta of each element from enemy which turns into healing. X is its attack."


While I don't dislike the mechanic, Vara's (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,22033.msg303501#msg303501) points should be addressed, considering how efficient this card can be in those type of Fire Rush decks...

[ZephyrPhantom]

Doesn't the card also need art to get in the crucible?

[Pineapple]

Mhmm, it needs some art, whether it's some 5min filler art you made in paint or some picture found on the internet which you can use within the bounds of fair use.
