I feel like this fits Darkness more. Y'know, the whole "use opponent's force to your own advantage" kind of thing.
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

Why, yes. I do have a Mindgate necklace. It's how I ninja everyone.

Nice addition to the usual quanta denial methods, I really like it. Thematically it would work well with both gravity and darkness.
I also think that it could have a nice synergy effect with mindgate. If you don't get the mana you need to play your opponents cards, you can use this one. If you do, you can still use it for quanta denial.

At last, received a suggestion. Thanks!  :)

Quote from: the description in the game
Darkness elementals are masters of subtlety; they can hide, absorb energies and manage the creatures that dwell in the shadows. Darkness elementals can rely on skills like “Steal” or “Dusk Mantle”.
I didn't notice, but darkness also seems nice for this card.
While gravity already has Black Hole, which has a similar impression,
darkness doesn't have this kind of cards (Devourer is a lot different from this).
Now I'm really thinking of changing this card into a darkness card.

What do you think of this?

Again I didn't notice... this can be a nice friend of Mindgate.

<EDIT> I'd appreciate it if someone could rewrite the card text -
I know you all are a lot better than I in English.

I agree that this fits darkness better and has great synergy with Steal.

Thanks. I was really wondering about changing it, but your words put an end to it.
This card now belongs to Darkness (rare case?), and I submitted it to the Crucible.

One question: may I change something of this card, even after it's accepted to the Crucible?
(That probably won't happen, though)

Hey evima! ^^ Your idea has been approved and will be moving on up - for the most part, if I don't comment on your card idea, it usually means you already met the requirements, but I just wanted to say a few things for this idea.



Definitely liking this card, as it has the potential to open up massive quanta denial synergies between :darkness and :gravity (which already has plenty of combos as is... but that's okay).

One question: may I change something of this card, even after it's accepted to the Crucible?
(That probably won't happen, though)
Yes, but you -definitely- need to notify a Card Curator (like me ;) ) to make the image changes to the Crucible polling (for example, changing the name, artwork, mechanic wording, etc.). If you do a radical change, (changing the element, making it into another different card concept, etc.), there might be instances where I'll have to bump it down to the Crucible, but that's only for the cards in the Forge or higher.
