Volcanic Pillar | Volcanic Tower

[plastiqe]

NAME: Volcanic Pillar ELEMENT: Other COST: Pillar TYPE: Permanent ABILITY: Each turn either or is generated.	NAME: Volcanic Tower ELEMENT: Other COST: Tower TYPE: Permanent ABILITY: Each turn either or is generated.  Gain either or when you play this card.

ART: http://www.geo.mtu.edu/volcanoes/hazards/primer/images/volc-images/puuoo.jpg IDEA: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,601.0.html NOTES: This is a dual pillar/tower that works by generating whichever element you have the least of.  So if you have more fire quanta than earth quanta this will generate earth quanta... and vice versa.  If you have the same amount of each it will pick one element at random. SERIES: This could work for any pair of elements, or even a trio of elements.  Probably more to come, we'll see.

Do you plan on making a series of nearly 132 cards.

is there 12 different bolts?
also, i think a card with this EXACT effect was already suggested. in fact, if i remember correctly, this card is EXACTLY like another card suggestion i found

NO

If I were to make more I'd only do the popular combinations.  Lets pretend zanz adds something like this to the game.. wouldn't need to add every possible combination all at once.

You have seen this before, check the link under IDEA..

only 78

only 78   

Only if you need / pillars
otherwise its 66



I've looked at some solutions to try and bring this count down.
Have a look at the items in the Quantum Mechanics.

I like the idea of simple Dual Pillars because they're the logical step between regular pillars and quantum pillars.  And I personally think any cards named Pillars & Towers that are going to stack should cost 0, because they're resource cards and because of the mulligan rule.  If you elmininate the possibility of a casting cost the issue with dual pillars is how they get around being balanced as dual pillars.  Do they generate quanta of both types at once, randomly, splash ability, activated conversion ability, etc.. 

I think my little idea adds a nice bit of strategy, cause if you were to have this type of card out you can control your own quanta generation.  Does anyone have a comment on the mechanic of "generating whichever element you have the least of"?

About the maxium possible combinations.. Yes it would be nice to eventually have all 66 in the game.  Card distribution is kinda beyond the scope of this thread but maybe dual pillars could be rares distributed through the Half Bloods?
