Skill of the Elemental
Original Idea by Kamietsu; Inspired By Trial | Art from ETG, Kamietsu; Inspired By Trial
It was a dark night, long ago, when the Elemental War began. Every Element had every other Element reigning down on it with no mercy. Some battles were won, others lost, and mass destruction had fallen over the lands. On the night of 1.30 DE(During Elements) the creator of the world looked down on the fighting Elementals. With a deep breath, the creator shouted down blessing from up high and enchanted the Elementals in hopes they would survive better. Each blessing granted the Elementals a special ability to help them survive the war, or bring it to an end quicker.

Im actually liking this Mark competition a lot. Its nice to think up ideas that wouldnt normally fly as regular cards.
This is my third submission.As the card says, you get to see what you and your opponent will draw over the next two turns, should help with mindgate and with general play managing.

| NOTES: | Submission for the "Skill of the Elemental" Competition.
Spells and permanents are the few cards that aren't always played when the player has enough quanta to pay for them. Mark of the Archmage allows the player to turn those excess spells into makeshift Lightnings. At the cost of card disadvantage, Arcane Blast can be used defensively (to remove high-threat creatures) or offensively (as direct spell damage).
Details: Exactly two spells must be discarded for Arcane Blast to activate. No more, no less. Arcane Blast can't be activated if the player has fewer than two spells in hand.
Mechanic: When activated, the player must choose exactly two spells to discard from their hand, then chooses a target (either a creature or a player) to deal 5 damage to.

| NOTES: | Skill of the Elemental Competition
Evade works for Mark of Liberty as it does for Shard of Freedom, however Mark of Liberty expands to any airborne creature. The evade component of Shard of Freedom only includes Air creatures.
While Evade is a component of the Shard of Freedom it has not been incorporated into any other card as a skill that can be activated.
Perfect for all FW decks and ideal for Air's frail creatures. Cards like Rewind, Antimatter and Parallel Universe may now have some issues against Air.
Can target only your airborne creatures.

| NOTES: | Submission for the "Skill of the Elemental" Competition.
How it works: It gives a temporary damage buff to all your non-immortal creatures on the field, also making them able to bypass wings shield.
Why is it useful ?: It gets stronger and stronger as you field more creatures. So it is useful in a, say, fractal deck. It can consume the quanta that itself produces, so it can find a place in any color duo deck. The flying portion can also be used as a counter card to wings decks.
Concept: Fury of air unleashes a gigantic storm, levitating your creatures giving them a ride on the storm, raining them upon your enemies.

"The Air Nomads who took shelter within the skies had found themselves safe from the attacks from below. They remained safe and took an active role in the great war. However, the mighty powers of the Dragons and the airborne creatures of their enemies penetrated their defenses fairly easily. Who would have thought that the Air Nomads would be outclassed in their own territory? It wasn't until a special power was granted to them by the Creator of the World. A power that would grant them supremacy over the skies. "

ART: | Kamietsu
| IDEA: | Shantu
| NOTES: | This effectively gives you a way to use multiple shards to their full potential, and any other future cards that may give you a bonus depending on your mark. It works like this:
You activate the skill and the usual targeting crosshair appears on each element of your quanta pool. You select one and your mark becomes a 'dual mark': looks like half this and half that. After that all cards that gives bonuses/penalties/other stuff depending on your mark will 'think' you have the appropriate mark and thus grant the bonus/penalty. However, despite appearing like a dual mark, only quanta will be generated. The ability is reusable but can 'contain' only one element at a time. Example:
You have Mark of Deception. You use a Gratitude/Void/Divinity deck.
You have multiple Voids and Gratitudes on the field, so you have the mark on Darkness/Life currently. You have multiple Divinities in your hand, so you decide it's worth to lose the SoG bonus for a turn to boost your max health by a lot more. You spend the 2 and select Light (now your mark becomes Darkness/Light) and now cast all the SoDs in your hand, each granting you 24 hp while still doing 3 damage with Void. Next turn you realise you need the healing and switch your mark back to Life and enjoy the 5 hp healing.
And why would this be good? Well, Shard of Void is generally seen as a weak card; this could certainly increase its potential. This mark ability could also increase the amount of 'mark affinity' cards in the future.

| NOTES: | um.... i'm don't really sure can my card get in this (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,38760.0.html) competition. cuz i don't see other one use kind of name other than "mark of ***" seriously. i don't even sure Kamietsu will come and check this topic as it's a competition topic.
my concept for all mark ability card is 'prime'. not much to say. really. i just don't want to have 'mark of' for my card name. and it's not in rule to do, so it's prime. just as i said before.
feel little sad cuz it already have card name like this. but i still think "eclipse" suit this ability the best. Darkness than can even turn white in to black. it's power is to conceal thing that normally you can't touch it. your opponent mark.
but basically. this card just stop your opponent to generate 1 quantum for that turn. turn pendulum to work just like pillar. reduce the power of some shard and some weapon. Just obscure.

| NOTES: | Submission for the "Skill of the Elemental" Competition.
How it works: Each turn, for one quanta: 1-) It destroys target death creature. 2-) It puts 1 (unupped) or 2 (upped) poison counters on the opponent.
It might destroy any death creature. friend or foe.
Why is it useful ?: It is like catapult but in death fashion. (And frankly, sacrificing creature should be more of a death ability). Poisons the opponent when your death creatures are stuck either by a shield or antimatter. It also DOES trigger death effects so you will buff your BW, graveyard, soul catchers, vultures.
Concept: The death creatures belong to the land of the dead. They are always haunted and cursed by the call of Necropolis. At one point they can no longer endure and their souls are fiercly pulled back to their grave while leaving their rotting poisonous waste behind.

| NOTES: | Skill of the Elemental Competition
For now Fortify will only increase your Damage Reduction if 2 conditions are met:
- A shield is equipped
- Your shield reduces damage by a fixed amount (Shield[1], Skull Shield[1], Emerald Shield[1], Ice Shield[1], Titanium Shield[2], etc.)
If this is too limited I will expand this to include any and all shields. In this case, if a physical attack goes through while Fog Shield is equipped it will be reduced by 1 damage. I would personally prefer not to, as it makes less thematic sense.
Fortify will be able to affect immaterial shields with the understanding that Fortify affects your self/shield slot (similar to Flying Weapon), and thus disregards immateriality.

We've all seen a Mark card at least once, right? If so, I don't need to explain the first half of either of them.
Fortitude last for one turn. During which, your creatures, permanents, quanta, and hand can not be affected. This also affects your actions since, once Fortitude is activated, you cannot target your own cards, use Nova | Supernova, or use any extra drawing via Precognition. Of course, passive quanta generating from creatures and pillars are unaffected by Fortitude.

"The beings of the Earth Kingdom, or as they call themselves, the Earth Natives, were the first beings to walk the Earth. The Earth Natives have always valued defense and protection over strong attacks. They attack at the right moment and with strong precision. However, they are often hindered by the amount of energy consumption it takes to resurface from the ground. That energy, which could have been spent on their defense and health becomes less valuable. It wasn't until the great Creator granted them a power. A power that allowed them to resurface to the Earth in an instant and add the final blow to their enemies."
