LINKS! Please! Now i have to look through all the card ideas to comment on Theta, that's silly!

I'll just comment here then, your fault: I would add the following text to Theta, as a nerf, but i realize it would also be some kind of deck management benefit, anyways here it is:
"Unique: remove all Thetas from your deck."

That makes sure you can only use it once, could be a new way to balance some strong cards. That could allow a cost reduction aswell.
It has the benefit however, of reducing your deck size by 5 instantly, making your remaining card types more likely to be drawn.

I know, that's why like I said in the notes, Theta is risky. It is something entirely new so I can't quite figure out how to implement it.

Alright. I actually have another series in mind that only allows one of it to be summoned at a time, for it is too powerful. I'll call this 'unique', like you said.

Okay, thanks for your suggestion.

"Only one per deck" lowers chances to draw it b ut it balances it out. As a side note i realized that the wording "remove all other Thetas from your deck" didn't affect hand, so it would need to be "Remove all your other Thetas" or something.

Ummm.......I didn't quite understand, since now only one Theta can be used per deck.

I was just correcting my own earlier proposal, never mind it.

Do you have any other comments? Otherwise, I will crucible this series within the next 24 hours.

Meanwhile, I will start preparing my new series and Elements the Novel Chapter 3.

1) Cards that are usable in quantities of 1-6+ add more variations to the metagame. Unique does not remove all benefit of a 2nd copy but does reduce the benefit significantly. I would avoid it.
2) Unique does nothing to weaken the first copy. Usually if the 2nd copy is a problem the 1st copy is as well. Unique tends to give the illusion of balance while maintaining imbalance.

Unique is better than "can only include 1 copy in a deck".

Wait, then what does "unique" do exactly? I'm confused. Because whenever I encountered "unique" it means only one can played.

If you're refering to the one i was talking about, it would mean one can be played, but you may put 6 of them in your deck. It's just that once you would play one of them, all your other Thetas would magically vanish from hand and deck.
The only important difference with "you may only put one in your deck" is the chance to draw a Theta at all.

You may have misunderstood my post. I said Unique was bad despite being an improvement.
