I was thinking of a rather different kind of psuedo element.
It sorta of pulls from many ideas that ahve already been posted about.
Anyways.
The deck is based as such, you do not use normal quanta, instead, cards are played using pillars.
The psuedo element has its own type of pillar.
It doesn't use conventional means of playing cards, instead, a card can only be played if you have a number of pillars equal to or greater than the card cost.
For example: I have a spell that costs 5, a creature that costs 3, and a permanent that costs 6.
I have 5 psuedo pillars.
So, I can play the spell or the creature, but not the permanent.
Continuing
Every time a card is played, one psuedo pillar is destroyed.
This is to counter the possibility of being able to play your entire hand with no drawbacks.
This also opens possibility for cards that generate pillars.
It also provides opportunity for power cards that sacrifice more than one pillar.
Strongly think the pillars should be immaterial.
Some example cards.
