Scaredgirl
NOTES:
This is the second card in my upcoming series of "Cards that annoy people".

Idea is to have a card that goes in your opponent hand, absorbing his quanta. The annoying part is that he cannot discard it, he can only play it back to you with double the cost. Might be impossible to code but I don't care, I just make ideas. :)

As always, this is just the first draft and will most likely change. I haven't thought much about game balance or anything like that, so please give your opinions of its OPness.

I had many different choices for a picture but I chose this cute little norwegian pig and named him Pigley. Here's his original image: http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/j/ja/jannbr/1182522_norwegian_pig.jpg

Wouldn't it make more sense to give it to your opponent as a creature, and have an ability that gives it back? It seems strange to have a creature's ability work when not in play, as none of the others do.

It may actually be overpowered. The card cost thing is quite powerful, powerful enough to cost 5 or 6 quanta on its own, I think. Maybe even more.

Then, you have the drain thing. That's gotta cost 2 or 3 quanta, right there.

And then the fact that you can't discard it. 1 extra quanta, just for that.

So that's 9 quanta right there. 7 upgraded, how 'bout?

One thing I'm worried about is it giving Rainbow too much power back. Otherwise, quite an annoying card indeed; it shuts down a Fractal deck.

Well, the whole idea is that this card clutters your opponents hand.

One cool thing about this card is that it quanta denials you before you play it. :) So if you get a bunch of these in your opening hand, you are screwed.

What happens if you end your turn with 8 of these in your hand?  :D

Then you either lose or become a pig farmer.

Cannot fractal Pigley because it's not a creature. Well, it's a "special" creature.

But having a hand full of these is possible if both players have them.

so if you have this card in your hand you lose 1 quantum per turn till you play it?
and then if you play it at double cost does it double cost the double cost for the original owner?

So it effects the card holder who puts it in there deck too hmmm, yeah that could be interesting to even play it when you start with one.

1 tower you get one quanta, and if you don't have another one, well, there goes your quanta? is that how it works if its in your opening hand?
