Seems a little UP for its cost when compared to black hole (which also provides healing)...
Either needs a secondary effect, have the cost brought down, or the drain amount raised...

Air is a rather odd element choice for a card like this though...
Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is
kill -9 `ps l | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$9}' | grep "Z" | awk '{printf("%s ",$2)}'`
You might be a unix junky

Air is known for swiftness, for quick responses, reflexes and not depending on chance.

So, probably not a quanta drain card.

A hurricane can destroy a city. It destroy the opponent's resources, specifically aimed at mono decks. Lower cost to 1 and make it destroy 6 quanta?

A hurricane can destroy a city... which fails air's test, due to air generally being swift and not particularly strength based.

Hurricane is rl... Comparison to a hurricane it to show like it can destroy a city's resources, it destroys an opponent's resources.

As far as the game is concerned losing 5-6 quanta is not a "strength" card, and the card is quick. Thunderstorm can destroy a number of creatures, while being quick.

I see where you are going with that, but it would make more sense for this to destroy things which are tangible, such as permanents or creatures, rather than something which is intangible, such as quanta...

Black hole makes sense for reducing quanta because it sucks in all energy (light, etc) which is essentially what quanta represents... units of energy.

I don't see how a hurricane would suck in light or other non-matter based energy.

Its not that I don't think the idea of sucking down the opponent's quanta with a devourer-like spell is interesting, I just think its a little out of place thematically in the air element... at least in the context of a hurricane.

... Now air is in the buissiness of scattering things (much like entropy)... so it might make sense if this scattered quanta (energy). I just don't think it makes sense to absorb it into nothingness.
