There have been ideas like this before.  You leave your field blank and wait for your opponent to play his stuff, then BAM, field-wide PU combined with CC.

yeah, but mine has cooler art  ;) plus, i need constructive criticism, not people telling me what i already surmised. I will change the card in any way you want as long as i get to keep the image (which was a pain to create, and then got screwed by the card picture thing.)

One thing for sure - the card is pretty broken in it's current state for being able to clear the enemy field, save for that giant stack of Aether Towers. I tried inverting the art as well - it seems more :aether-ish when inverted, just a note.

IMHO it should be completley reworked - mass-field swapping is somewhat frowned upon.

Yes, and I'd help like you asked, nerd1, but completely reworking a card is something that should be done by the creator - otherwise you're asking us to design a card you can call your own.  ;)  I can't come up with any minor edits that would balance this.

Hm, it's like a two-player Nightmare card, mixed with Mindgate.  Unless someone's been hoarding pillars, I see this only causing a series of discards.  It could also be considered too good, if you get set up faster than your opponent, you can pop them with this for a major stall and destroy all the cards they were waiting to play.

By all means, this card is UP, because it costs about double what it should. Look at the card idea Obscure Reflection. It's a 7 cost card that copies the opponent's hand. Useful with Nightmare.
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

Why, yes. I do have a Mindgate necklace. It's how I ninja everyone.

UP?  I would call it OP.  Unlike Obscure Reflection, it actually steals every card in your opponent's hand, it doesn't just duplicate them.

Agreed with johann, since your opponent losing the cards in his hand for your gain can hurt a lot - with quantum towers or a counter-mono with pillars you could leave your opponent's hand filled with useless cards while you use his - in comparison Obscure Reflection gives your opponent a chance to fight back.

I think it's best to drop the mass effect thing entirely and make a different effect - the high cost is kind of discouraging by itself since Aether already has so many high cost cards.

CURATOR COMMENT:
-Please add the aether quanta symbol to the COST section of the table, unless you are meaning to say that the card costs 7 non-focused quanta (random)
-Please remove the text from the ATK|HP section of the table.
