ART: http://mxwriter.blogspot.com/ IDEA: Drobbit and Liruken. NOTES: Damage is randomly distrubuted. That means that if the opponent has three 2/2 creatures. 10 damage could be distributed: - 10 for the first, 0 for the two others. - 4 for the first, 1 for the second and 5 for the third one. - Or any other combination. That means that they don't get damage till they die for sure. SERIES: Quantum Pirates (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,16370.msg223712#msg223712)

This screams "game shortener". I could do a potential 60 damage for just 12 . Then I'd wrap it up with a couple Ruby Dragons and be done with it. That's a rush I never want to see. The only counter is Jade Shield or Reflective Shield.

[Drobbit]

So less damage?

[joebob777]

first off, it looks to me as if the upped and unupped effects were accidently switched, second either needs less damage or higher opponent advantage, and third higher increase to the cost or make you  get rid of a lot of cards from your hand/deck

[Drobbit]

I was thinking about adding a "sacrifice a creature" to the cost.
But what about Unstable Gas? It does 20 damage and doesn't need to sacrifice anything. This is quite worse

[ArtCrusade]

Unstable Gas costs more quantum, needs another element to trigger, and deals damage to ALL creatures.

[Drobbit]

Ok. That's a point. So what do you recomend?

[ArtCrusade]

Just drop it. It'll be too similiar to Unstable Gas

[Drobbit]

Even if it's similar I prefer to keep trying to balance it.

I've done some changes.

Edited.
I've radically changed the card due to a new idea from Liruken. Now this card is like a cannon shot. De damage is randomly distrubuted among enemy creatures as the notes say.
If you compare with a lightning the cost is higher and also you have to sacrifice a pemanent (and there is the random thing that don't asure you to kill all the creatures).
If you compare with rain of fire, the same. The rain of fire deals more damage when there are more than 6 creatures on the field. But even if you have less than 6 creatures, one of them could take more damage than it's hp so you won't kill every creature for sure.
Maybe I could even low the cost a bit.
Hope you like it and I wait your answers.
