SoD = Shard of Divinity? Isn't that a spell? :-\

I think you might've meant SoG. Minor fuss.
My fault. Fixed it. ;) On a side-note, I removed SoG because I realized it was an upgraded card.

I'm not really following how devastating are random weapons. This card is obviously made for control rainbow, and you cannot rely on random to get your Eternity or Pulvy. You'll pack those. If you have them equipped, this thing generating Vamp Stiletto will not help you, but potentially ruin you.
Same can be said about shields.

Now, on general concept, this is one thing you bring instead of fat deck of permanents. But when you look at what it gives, you'll alternate between pillars and shields mostly. Too random to be useful imo.
Well, it's either remove all the pillars altogether and replace them with weapons (which is nice, but at the same time, reduces the 'oh lamesauce' factor when you play around with luck), or just remove the pillars part and keep it as is, since Nova/Supernova already fulfills the all-around quanta generation.

I just think that having it generate a RARE WEAPON is kind of a big deal. Sure, you may not be able to use the card at all in terms of its active ability, but cards with passives (Titan, Vampire Stiletto, Arsenic) can be incredibly powerful to use, and all that more frustrating to an opponent with permanent control cards - if you PA'ed multiple Radiated Goo/Eccentric Anomaly cards, you would potentially keep on generating weapons that would ultimately result in the demise of your opponent.

All in all, I guess I should remove the 'pillar' generation and just replace it with weapons. I'm not letting it generate upgraded cards still.

Why specify that the permanent be non-Entropy? Considering that the only possibly-eligible permanents in Entropy are Amethyst Pillar and Dissipation Shield...
Yeah, I suppose that requirement wasn't really necessary. I'll change it as soon as possible.

Changes have been applied. :)

Yes, weapons are a "rare" cards, but that is just a word. Weapons are very obtainable, and nearly a requirement in their respective decks. They are far from I-WIN button.

I may be a hater of every random, but now when pillars are removed, and weapons added, this card is actually useful, especially if you pack Animate Weapon. Your "lamesauce" factor are shields, and its not a small thing either... Shields are extremely important while fighting FGs, and having this thing putting Hope with 0 defense, or Firewall or any other weak shield instead of your built Bonewall will kill your game.

I suppose. Many weapons were considered to be a game-breaker, especially in a entropy-based rainbow (I mean, come on - who's NOT going to use this in a slightly-larger-than-speedy-gonzales rainbow deck), and being able to conjure weapons on the get-go could piss off a lot of PVP players. Oh well - you're right about them not being an I-WIN button, especially being non-upgraded...

I may be a hater of everything random, but now when pillars are removed, and weapons added, this card is actually useful, especially if you pack Animate Weapon. Your "lamesauce" factor are shields, and its not a small thing either... Shields are extremely important while fighting FGs, and having this thing putting Hope with 0 defense, or Firewall or any other weak shield instead of your built Bonewall will kill your game.
But THAT'S the fun part! Sometimes, you may end up getting ANOTHER Bonewall in case your opponent breaks through somehow using Fractal creatures, or even having an Emerald Shield pop up is just priceless against someone spamming Unstable Gases against you. Sure, fighting FG's rely on having reliable shields that can save your life (Permafrost, Jade, Bone Wall, Upgraded Hope, etc.), but I think that a lot of the shields are pretty amazing as they are now. Not to mention, I forsee this being used as a fun factor in PVP alongside cards like Chaos Seed and Pandamoneum, which are truly random in how they act.

Animate Weapons are probably better suited in a deck packed with Discords against a mono-type, but either way, I also agree with the latter statement.

It's kind of funny when someone actually does necro a thread though. It certainly brings back memories. :)

I think I -might- submit this to the Crucible, but before I do that, I would definitely need to overhaul the card image with the current card builder by Planplan, alongside getting or creating a more unique artwork for it. ^^;

personally i would redo the wording to just be:
"Generates a random permanent"
and leave the other details for the notes.
