I was thinking the quanta would be taken at a random amount of yours and your opponents for each card played. Also the reason this is is because I thought it would work well in conjunction with sanctuary ( ) I can see how changing it to would help out many different decks, but I wasn't sure if the card should have more restrictions or less. Any more ideas?
OK, so it drains randomly... Sounds really Entropy-ish. I guess if the draining was even, then it would be more "Harmonic", as the card says. Also, making a card be part of an element could be forcing a mechanic, so try to avoid thinking of that until after you decided what element the card will be into. In this case, anyways, it's OK (except for the random draining).
In the case you turn to even draining, how will be decided who gives 2 quanta, and who gives 3 (in the case of a 5 cost card)?
Also, I had some more questions:
1- Also, what about ultimate spells (Miracle, Fractal)?? They would drain both sides' quanta??
2- What about Pillars/Towers?? I guess you still produce your own quanta...
And last... I guess this is useful when you have no quanta, but I only guess that in that case it would drain every single quantum from your opponent's pool (that's cool)
Hmm I think this card should be to the advantage to whomever played it. So, when the card is an odd number cost like 5, two of the cost would be to the player who played it and three would be from the opponent.
Also, I'm not sure if everyone gets that the opponent can also play cards using your quanta pool, so it has to be played at the right moment, because you don't know what the other player has in their hand.
Alright so for your other questions that I had missed before (sorry bout that):
1) For ultimate spells, all of the quanta would be consumed for the player who played the ultimate.
-------(Assuming you're the one who played Harmony) If you have Miracle played and you have 8
quanta and the other player has 10, you would lose all
quanta, but although it's 15 and you would only have to "use 7," the opponent would only use up 8 and be left with 2
quanta. (If the opponent played Miracle they would lose all their quanta, but because they would have to "use 8," you would only have to share 7.)
-------Unless I'm mistaken, that should clear up the use of fractal too. ((assuming each player has 5) 5
from each player but user of fractal loses all quanta)
2) Towers and Pillars would work regularly, only adding quanta to the respective pools.
Lastly, yes, if you had no quanta you would take all from your opponent. I'll show how the numbers would work with one card:
The following will be for Bone Wall (7
) (Assuming you played Harmony):
You (quanta owned/used) | Opponent (quanta owned/used) |
0/0 | 7+/7 |
1/1 | 6+/6 |
2/2 | 5+/5 |
3/3 | 4+/4 |
4/3-4 | 3+/3-4 |
5/3-5 | 2+/2-4 |
6/1-6 | 1+/1-6 |
7/1-7 | 0+/1-7 |
Bare in mind that if you have at least 3
to play and the opponent has more than 4
, you must still pay 3. (remember.. harmony)
Anymore questions/concerns?
