Isn't quanta generation considered to be an innate active skill(can be loboed)?
If yes the temple has 2 active skills.

So far creatures that only generate quanta do so using an active skill ... i.e. firefly, RoL, etc... however, quanta generation is accomplished by devourer using a passive skill that also sucks quanta from opponent, so I think the generation could be left as a passive and be ok.

... The golden knight is a bit anticlimactic. It really should be much more powerful considering the great amount of effort it takes to begin procuring them.

Ok, heres my suggestion:
Make the golden knight be a *|2 creature with text:
"Immaterial.
Golden Knight's attack is equal to the number of Golden Knights on your side."

The immaterial is there to prevent fractal abuse, while the other ability (attack version of swarm) is to allow the damage to ramp up quickly.

In most cases this ends up becoming OP very easily, but considering how difficult it is to get this card rolling it might work out here.

The total damage dealt by using n palaces each turn for t turns will scale as:
(n*t)^3 / 3 + (n*t)^2 / 2 + (n*t) / 6

or:
1 palace

turn	damage this turn	total damage over all turns
1	1	1
2	4	5
3	9	14
4	16	30
5	25	55
6	36	91
7	49	140
8	64	204

The average game with good unupgraded decks lasts around 8 to 10 turns... with upgraded decks that drops to about 7 to 9 turns.
it takes 5 turns to get your first knight out though, so you only get 3 turns worth with the unupgraded or 2 with upgraded... it may be good to drop the delay on the map a bit or just remove it and add a delay to the Temple / Fort.

The spoiler below shows the scaling if you get n Temples / Forts going at the same time.

Spoiler for additional tables:

With 4 plus this scales insanely fast, but getting that many out and function over the span of an average game may be tricky.
Also, it would encourage use of shields such as fire buckler, spines, and skull shield since they would be the only really effective means of killing knights... although other shields would definitely help as well.

What I would do:

A) Make the time temple do something more interesting. Ideas:
-Generate more quanta (2-3 per turn),
-a new passive time mechanic,
-limit the number of knights summon-able but make them more potent (better stats and/or useful skill)

B) Give the knight a interesting passive skill that's dependent on other knights or temples.

[Scars]

I would just increase the damage of the knights, like, 5|5 or something, or simply give it an ability to use. Maybe something original.

I like the idea of making the knights have a passive skill that is dependent on other knights as well.

In any case, knights are too wake to make this useful right now.

its easier, simpler, and cost-wise to just: affla+own creature
