So why would you use up ALL your aether quanta and destroy all your aether quanta generation when you could just use the card Silence at the same cost?

Balancing may need a fixing here, but just an :aether mark in a mono :earth deck would normally allow to use Silence every 3 turns. Also, Silence could be used as a game-ending card in addition to Gnome Bard's /Violinist ability. Making Silence available as a creature ability would be totally OP if there isn't a great cost to pay. ;)

Make it immortal then. After all, there are many great musicians who have achieved "immortality" through their great work, aren't they? ;D

Hmm, maybe a creature that can cast silence, at the cost of petrifying itself? (as well as a bit of quanta).  Theoretically, you could cast a silence every turn, but you would need 6 of them on the field.  Seems less efficient than an OTK.  Plus opens up aether/gravy/earth trio synergy.

At the cost of that creature being poisoned maybe? A powerful skill like that (especially when sor'd) does need a large punishment, poison would kill it in 2 turns making it a nice decisive creature whether u wanna use it for the high attack power or the impressive skill that goes with it :)
