Lol. 6 SN's makes this beyond OP. 5 turns alone will destroy the opponent, and this thing is too strong to kill.

As noted, it might need cost tweaks.  Playing 2 supernovas, using all of your quanta, then getting your Quantum Dragon frozen, is a pretty bad situation though.  The idea behind the pillars/pendulums reducing cost is so Supernova rushing would not happen too often.

What do you think of the idea, though?

This is a 5 turn clock. The closest comparison is Ruby Dragon the Dragon of the destruction element that has a 7 turn clock.

I would recommend new ETG card designers stick to Elemental cards rather than attempt Other cards due to the difficulty in balancing the  :rainbow casting cost.

I like the Pillar Affinity effect and suggest you make a Life (Element of Growth a subset of Green) card with a Pillar Affinity 1.

Thank you for following the format for card ideas including not using Google as an image source!

If you experiment with Pest you will find draining quanta to be powerful however those that use Flooding know that absorbing quanta is expensive. I would suggest splitting this effect of and reducing it to 1 quanta each per turn but make it a mid cost card in another element (Fire perhaps). Maybe even "Your opponent loses 2 quanta per turn. Absorb :fire."

Also: ETG tries for simpler cards than MTG. Try cards that would work as 1 sometimes 2 keywords. (1 being preferred)

Thanks, made some updates.  Won't do another Other card for a while, but will tweak this one for a bit, I'm fond of it. :)
