right...but it still seems kinda random that you have 5 random elements for blooms. its complicated and i just dont like that part of it, and im trying to get involved in this card cuz the idea is awesome :P
anyhow, what makes your version more appealing than something like my version? mine has more of a purpose instead of random quanta, and would be used for its original intention instead of primarily mutant fodder
5 isn't random. Its a calculated balance about the chance to produce a particular element in an amount that is effective for play against the cost of early deployment and healing with multiple layer production of quanta. If it produced only rain blooms, the interaction with life / death / water disapears and the cards would produce an overdose of water quanta that would force the cost of the card higher and outside of the range of normal useful play unless playing deliberately for Icebolt bomb. The variance of 5 blooms allows interaction between the sub elements, reduces the consistancy for quanta bombing and as such can be offered at a more playable deployment price.

eh...i guess its fine. still dont like the whole random bloom thing, it seems like the randomness would make people use it more for the life gain. but what about its overuse as mutant fodder? its way OP in that regard right now when put in a rainbow. making blooms immortal would just make them OP and i cant think of any other way...

It's a good idea,
but when the opponent had Oty's or even Lightning,
This card, would be wasted,
I think the main threat is Oty's and a Scarab Army.
You could say, that it enters the game immortal, but the fifth turn it becomes mortal again,
because otherwise, It would just be eaten/lightninged etc. So I don't know, just an idea?
Overall, good card!
