No, it's slightly OP in it's current form. I think the best balance is "target pillar stack becomes ruined pillars"

The ruined pillars are perfect at 2 :chroma. They don't need to come down at all, even if you weaken the card down to single targeting.

I don't know about the whole "able to target shard stacks" thing. It's a tedious tack-on extra that doesn't feel right, but that's my opinion.

Also, I think the name is awesome. Mechanically and thematically this idea is original and solid.

thank's ;D, i agree it shouldn't be able to target shards (or at least the theme wouldn't feel right), but i think that if i make it only be able to target stacks, it would make it inferior to "quicksand", that costs much less, destroys 3 pillars and doesn't create a "consolation prize"
besides this card not having a high "spam value" as targeting ruined pillars won't do anything (unless i change it so targeting ruined pillars with this destroys them)

Obviously cost balancing would need to happen if you dropped it to single targeting. One difference between this and EQ is that this can destroy the entire stack. What makes it weaker than EQ is that the player still has some qunta production left over afterwards.
