Why not Gravity?

I (or this card?) miss Gravity but...

- Gravity already has a similar-looking card, Black Hole.
May be redundant, or too powerful if both can be played by same type of quanta.
It seems that this card is little strong according to the poll, so I wanted to balance it a bit.

- Darkness elementals are masters of subtlety; they can hide, absorb energies and
manage the creatures that dwell in the shadows (from the in-game description).
Thematically no problem with Darkness, as well as Gravity.

This is the first time that I have posted a card idea.
I searched for ideas like this (using the opponent's quanta source) already posted, but didn't find anything.
Advice about the wording of the card text is also welcome (I'm poor at English).

nice one! That's a cool idea!
Also well done for getting the format right and linking the art correctly (something I, and even experienced card makers, still get wrong sometimes :s)

Thanks. I'm glad my effort not to make a single mistake was successful.

Can anyone suggest me a way to improve this idea?
To be honest, I myself can't find how to use this card,
other than just annoying the opponent.

<EDIT> My head was not working well when writing this.

Excellent idea!!! Great job.

It can obviously help a rainbow deck. Otherwise it's always a good thing to counter quanta production

does it need improving?
In terms of quanta it gives you a whole turn advantage, as well as giving you extra quanta.
The only thing I worry about is  already having Black Hole, which with this would cause serious delay to any poor soul, but it does fit  thematically, and isn't too cheap, so who knows....
(I'm not the most experienced person though, so best wait for others to comment if you want more detailed/intense feedback)

Well, if Entropy and Gravity are already sort of paired, this makes great sense. It'd be a nifty card for a rainbow stall, too.

Awesome card
Fits Gravity pretty well.

I have to say I really like this one. Deadly denial with Black Hole, but probably not the most effective deck and very appropriate.

Perhaps the icon for the pillars and pendulums could look something like this:

Ooh! That's pretty!

Thank you everyone!
I'm happy to see this idea is accepted better than I expected.
I realized this card can have a decent effect, especially with Black Holes, as many ones said.
But now I'm little worried about one thing:
if most people say there's no need to change, may I submit this without a single change
to the Crucible? Or do I still have to change something like the cost?
In that case, I'll add a poll asking whether this card is strong or weak,
and change the cost according to the result.

Surprisingly, this is exactly what is in my head.

You don't have to change anything, but often it's the case that a card needs small (or large) changes to make it less OP/UP or a cost change, wording of the effect etc. That's what other people's comments are for, to help get the card right, but yours looks fine (to me at least, others may disagree, that's the thing with opinions...)

That's right. I'll wait for more opinions.
But I decided to start a poll now, because I just want to know people's reactions,
not only for when there are no suggestion of change.
