Thanks for the feedback. This idea came to me while I was answering to trial questions (thanks to
Frozengaia, his question brought me to this).
Time ago I read a journal article where there was this (silly) question: "If mankind would suddenly disappear, how long it will take until every trace of our existence is canceled?" While I was expecting an answer like "milion years", the article said that "If mankind would disappear suddenly, in "only" 100.000 years every trace of our existence (cities, roads, vehicles, infrastructure, etc...) would be canceled.
Now, even if 100.000 years seems too "short" to wipe out every single trace of mankind, it's easy to realize that everything we build, needs constant maintenance to survive over time.
This is the idea behind this card; the drain cost can be considered as the maintenance cost of a permanent.
Can i target the same permanent over once? If yes how would it affect the quanta consumption? What about the combo of EQ and this, targetting pillars? I am aware this is meant for the annoying permanents but its denial is stronger than its PC.. Hmmm, I still dont know how i feel about this, but i think i like it. Concept is of course great.
Multiple targeting shouldn't affect the permanent, at least imho. So if you play this card again on the same permanent, nothing happens. And if you target a pillar/pend, a following EQ would destroy the targeted pillar/pend too, deleting all effects of this card.
When the amount to drain is larger than the quanta pool, does the pool get drained and the permanent destroyed or is the permanent destroyed and the quanta left untouched? From a balance point of view I prefer the second, giving more focus to the PC part.
This is the main balance point i'm thinkin' about it. I'll give you an answer asap.
