ART: OdinVanguard, Created with Hexagon and Bryce7 IDEA: OdinVanguard NOTES: "Today, everything just seems to fall apart" "But amidst the turmoil, you shall find your inspiration. Use it!" Unlike the shard, this card adds cards to your deck rather than directly to your hand. However, you have much more control over what cards are gained and you can potential produce many times more cards than with SoSe. Because of the sheer volume of cards created, this could provide a hard counter to deckout decks and / or may enable deck out strategies vs half bloods / false gods. Examples: You play this and then supernova. Two random cards of each element get added to your deck, then at the end of your turn, you get one card from your mark's element and 1 card for each quanta that your pillars / pendulums / quanta producing creatures would generate.

Too weak.
It is usually disadvantageous to play this card.
You don't change the board state, and you don't change your hand.
You only increase your deck size-
but usually drawing a random card of one of the elements you generate quanta for is inferior to drawing a card you put into your deck.
For the cost of a card, 6/4 , and a whole turn of quanta generation.

The only reason I'd use this is to ensure I get my drawpower early-
6 of these, 6 hourglasses in a 30 cards deck, in a / duo.
and don't have a lot of cards that are bad on their own,but I doubt the deck would be that good.
Perhaps having some form of healing or card drawing added to it makes it more viable.

Okay, I added a draw clause to the card, so you will draw up to as many cards as get created.

This somewhat reduces the anti-deckout potential, but it could still be useful as such since you would still have some control over how much you draw by timing it based on hand size.

It does potentially outdraw , but that might be offset a bit by the 'clutter' it adds to deck.

now this would be primarily used to refill your hand in decks that are intentionally overquantaed; I think it should shuffle more cards into your deck than you draw since you wanted it to prevent deckout (sure you can clog your hand intentionally, but draw 8 cards is just to powerful to play this with the intention of preventing deckout); possible alternate versions:
-2 /1 : Your quanta sources shuffle cards into your deck instead of producing quanta this turn; draw a card for each stack of pillars you own (maybe restrict to pillars of different elements because of pendulums)
-Permanent: Play cost 3 . 2 /1 : Turn target pillar into a handcard of the same element for its owner; shuffle another copy of it into your deck.

A completely different approach would be to give it a stall effect rather than card draw.
For example: 1.Heal for 3 for each card generated this way
2. Apply a corresponding effect for each element you heave quanta sources for (quantum pillars will apply one randomly chosen): Antimatter a random enemy creature with positive attack if applicable
  cast plague (or maybe SoSac, but that seems to broken)
  put a 0 cost gravity pull into your hand ( I want it to be a nonalchemy stalling spell of the element and this is the only way i saw to fulfill that requirement without being next to useless)
  0 cost basilisk blood or use stoneskin
  heal instantely
  rain of fire or firebolt if RoF is too powerful
  dry spell
  put a holy flash into your hand
  thunderstorm
  rewind random enemy creature
  cloak instantely or O cost drain life
  silence

I like tying the draw power to number of stacks instead of raw production, and that should help players to tune its utility a bit during deck design as well.

The permanent idea is interesting, but I think it might be better as a different card... maybe an creature / permanent with an ability to tie into the pillar manipulation theme for

The last idea is also something that may work as a separate card.
I have a somewhat related idea under already.
