IDEA:
OdinVanguard
NOTES:
"Today is a day to remain firmly grounded"

"Unite your allies under one banner and they will accomplish great things today"



To use this, you would target a card in play (on either side). If that card has an ability / skill then the cost of that skill is used. If not, then the casting cost of the card is used.

If the cost of the skill or card is of type "other" then random quanta production will result.

If multiple forks are used in the same turn, quanta produced will be selected randomly from among the types attuned.

Code wise, each fork would add an element to a list, each time a creature produces quanta, one of the types would be randomly selected from that list. If the picked entry is type "other" a random element will be picked.

Examples:
1) You have 3 gnome riders. You use this on an equipped pulverizer.
The gnomes will produce 3 :gravity instead of 3 :earth

2) You have 4 gnome riders. You use one of these on an unstable gas you own and another on an equipped sword card.
Each gnome will have a 50/50 chance of producing either 1 :fire or 1 randomly chosen quantum.

Q&A:
-Why gravity? It was a toss up between gravity, aether, water, and earth. Earth doesn't need it as much since it has gnome riders. Water has dessication now. Aether could use quanta production, but might abuse it with fractals... That leaves gravity, which also lacks a quanta producer right now
-What about thematics? Gravity involves force and attraction as its core themes, in a sense, the fork is "pulling" the quanta produced into the specified pool.
-Whats the point of this card? To make producing quanta for off element abilities and cards easier (promote more diverse deck types).
SERIES:

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)}'`

So for example, instead of making a fire earth duo for golems, you can make a fire/gravity duo instead. (Using upped ash eaters). It would still be better to stick with the original deck ideas. (Maybe this card is a bit UP? Since you would need at least 3-4 in a deck for draw chance, but more than one are dead cards. Additionally, you need creatures which produce quanta.)

As addition to this ability, I would suggest that creatures without active ability get the ability to produce 1 random quanta each turn. (And each turn this effect is applied, it produces quanta of the specific element instead....)
What's the speed of dark?

Hmmm... I was figuring that this would be cheap enough to splash into most decks... I suppose I should reduce the casting cost and make activation colorless... would that help?

Also, you can use this with "vanilla" like creatures (no active ability) by adding in luciferin (and then targeting a type "other card if you want the random quanta).

In essence, it can allow any deck to turn its vanilla creatures into quanta producers that can be used to power any active ability.

I could see this being quite useful for elements like time and water that have lots of off element abilities.
