NOTES: [/color][/b]
Look Familiar? Well, Fire has Fire Bolt, Water has Ice Bolt, Darkness has Drain Life, but what does Air have? Nothing. This card will help boost the suckiness of mono air decks, while not overpowering rainbows any more.
SERIES: [/color][/b]
N/A
No, the art is not mine, nor free.

Yes, please find some free art for this card!

Isn't this an exact copy of Fire Bolt? What's the purpose of it other than boosting Mono-Air?

I'm sorry, but this card needs to have something unique.
To be or not to be, I can do both at once. Go learn quantum mechanics, n00b.

Maybe you could add a quanta-scramble effect, because of the winds, even though that is entropy.

That's a really good idea, although that does nod more towards entropy.

My original plan was to make a new card for Air, Aether, Death, Earth, Entropy, Gravity, Life, Light, and Time that mirrored Fire Bolt, since these elements don't have cards as such. However, it is true that they cannot just be copies of Fire Bolt, so I guess they need abilities, like Ice Bolt has.

My ideas are such:

 :air - 2 or 3dmg/10 quanta; chance to scramble quanta if player is targeted?
 :aether - 3dmg/10 quanta; chance to make creature immaterial?
 :death - 2dmg/10 quanta; chance to inflict 2 poison
 :earth - 3dmg/10 quanta; chance to burrow target?
 :entropy - 2dmg/10 quanta; chance to scramble quanta or mutate creature?
 :gravity - 2dmg/10 quanta; pass through shields (someone already did that one)
 :life - no clue
 :light - no clue
 :time - 2dmg/10quanta; Chance to be delayed 1 turn

I'll be putting up the cards that I have more or less an idea for. In the meantime, I'm very open to suggestions. How do people feel about having this card scramble quanta if the player is targeted?

Death should be 1 poison per 10 :death, although that might be overpowered...

That's a good idea, but it would need a cap in order to prevent it from being OP I think... Otherwise if you had 200  :death, you would inflict 10 poison on the opponent in a single card. Although is that any more OP than fahrenheit, where you just need 340  :fire to one-shot them?

As long as nobody really thinks it's OP, that's a fantastic idea.

I think for Air it should make it so it does 1 damage to each creature for each 10 Air Quanta you have (might be OP) if it could balance that would make more sense

:air - Scrambling quanta isn't unique to entropy, air can appropriately have it too.
:aether , why would you have a card that damages something then makes it immortal?
:death inflict 1 poison IMO, otherwise its an OP infection card
:earth once again, same point as :aether
:entropy don't do the same effect as air, and mutating a target if they don't die would ultimately defeat the purpose of damaging the target in the first place...
:gravity momentum...
:time good!

I don't see the point in damaging a creature then giving them positive traits like quintessence or burrow. Make each card unique, not just a copy of firebolt / icebolt. It's stupid to make each element the same and just equalize them by giving them the same cards, we should be branching outward with our new cards instead of consolidating.

yeah, as a few people have sort of mentioned, so far there is a trend: fire deals 3 damage per 10 quanta, the others deal 2 per 10 quanta and have an effect. Therefore, this should probably follow that trend and have some sort of effect. How about deals 2 damage per 10 quanta and a chance to destroy a permanent? something like that. If it's like that, i suggest that the permanent can only be destroyed if the player is targeted.

maybe a silly idea but i thought it could be a possibility what about 2 damage per 10  :air, switch side of random opponent monster for 3 turns if player is targeted??

Because of the winds, I would add slightly different effect:
"Move target creature to a random free slot on the same side of the board."

This doesn't change things too much... unless you already have Flood on board. Then, you get a chance to throw target creature into the water. ;)
