Card changed!

NAME: Unity ELEMENT: Other COST: 10 any TYPE: Shield ATK|HP: N/A ABILITY: Shield: Physical damage reduced by N. N is the number of your creatures with different elements. ART BY: Stock Art IDEA BY: Assassim	NAME: Improved Unity ELEMENT: Other COST: 12 any TYPE: Shield ATK|HP: N/A ABILITY: Shield: Physical damage reduced by 1+N. N is the number of your creatures with different elements. ART BY: Stock Art IDEA BY: Assassim

NOTES: [/color][/b] Meant to give rainbow / mutant / fate egg decks a shield of their own!!. The art reminded me of Hope's so i decided to make one that complemented it. This blocks 1 damage for each creature with a different element that you control, so more diversity = more protection!

pretty much over the top OP. 

Run a black deck with sacrifice and you can play any card in the game...

Boom sacrifice
->Miracle
->Fractal
->Any color Dragon
->Any color Nymph
->Any type of Shield


You need to set some limits, have more negative effects, increase the cost or something...

Example of setting some limits:
-The next card is free to play as long as the cost does not exceed 4 quanta
-Sacrifice card cost must be greater than 5

Example of some negative effects:
-Your max hp is reduced by half.
-You can no longer gain life.  You lose 10hp a turn.  (Yes it would prevent miracle from working)
-Half of your deck is discarded.
-You are now on Pandora.

Examples of cost increase: (Don't you dare that think just increasing the  quanta cost balances the card)
-Sacrifice a creature, weapon and pillar.  Next card is free of cost.
-Sacrifice three black creatures. 
-Sacrificed creature must cost more than 5 quanta.
-Tribute/Sacrifice takes 2-3 turns to complete sacrificial ritual.  Ritual ceases if sacrificed creature is destroyed.  Stronger creatures take less time to sacrifice.

Way ahead of you ace

Drain quanta cards still drain the quanta as it is part of the cards effect, not the cost.
 
If you think about it sacrificing a creature to gain a free summon isn't that over powered. Consider Immolation, it gives a large amount of fire quanta and producing a nova effect for the cost of nothing. And you can use the fire quanta for anything from summoning a fire nymph or boosting you fire quanta.

I do like the idea of taking a while to complete the sacrifice, but only one turn (2-3 is just making this underpowered).

Immolation has limits...  9 fire quanta and one of every other quanta.  You are limited to playing only high cost fire creatures.

I still don't get what you mean by quanta drain.

I really recommend you think of another card idea rather than trying to revive this one.  You are trying to force a card to fit.

You are now on Pandora.

Best. Negative. Effect. Ever.

Mystery cards represent Tributes. This is basically Untouchable Aether on steroids.

Is it overpowered yet?

[assassim]

Changed the card into something completely different

[icybraker]

Wait, you're STRENGTHENING rainbow decks? This will make them even more overpowered than they already are. I liked Tribute better; it would make my Aether deck so much more viable

Umm, I don't really want to nerf it, I just don't like the idea of a Rainbow Hope. Rainbows are already overpowerful as they are.

[assassim]

Yeah! I'm tired of having my rainbow deck nerfed > and besides most rainbows only use mainly gravity and entropy. This would actually strengthen mutant decks more (and those aren't 100% reliable).

[dragonhuman]

well this is 12/13 max defense for pretty high cost plus having the creatures out hope is more overpowered cause you can get it to 23/24

[acelink]

Isn't that high of cost considering it is 12 of any quanta.  takes 1quanta tower 4 turns to generate that... or 1 nova.

[Arondight]

I like the card, but it's a bit too expensive to play with. It would also be interesting if there was a creature that gained stats like that, but nothing starting off with like 0/1.

Not at all my friend, this might be one of the cheapest shields in the game as you can get it out in your first turn. And it takes 1 water tower 7 turns to get out a permafrost
