IDEA:
1 Week of Brainstorming by foxrain4
NOTES:
Rather than throwing this idea in the garbage folder of mine,
I decided to see the response instead irregardless if its negative response,
because i just really like this idea.

Why this idea is considered a fail?
Because initially I wanted to create a card to counter Fractal and Mitosis by destroying similar creatures with cheap quanta costs
but in the end I sheepishly placed Aetherize inside of Aether instead.
What that means? Players with no Aether quanta will still not be able to counter Fractal and Mitosis.
Then whats the point of Aetherize???

You can combo with Parallel Universe, copy opponent creature then aetherize his creature.
Many decks focus on a few same creatures, you will probably be able to aetherize even if you dun have Parallel Universe.

Alternate version of Aetherize:
Aether Quantalize target creature that have another same creature copy in both players' battlefield.
(Aether Quantalize means to destroy creature and gain aether quanta equal to its summoning costs.)

I like the alternate version but my experience tells me that new tricks and complicating cards ideas is harder to garner a good response than an old trick and simplified easy to understand card idea.

Cards to compare with:

u know that most decks use x6 copies of the same card, and it isn't a huge restriction for instantkilling?

aether already has thunderbolt, the best damage/quanta ratio card in the game, i don't really think this is really needed, at least in aether

this idea is better (in terms of balance), even if more expensive than congeal+shockwave, both twin universe and your card are in the same element
