NOTES:
Delayed payment takes place at the end of your next turn, after quanta generation.  Cards that drain all your quanta still do so when played, as this card only delays the card cost, not any immediate effects.

Ahh yes, the Death card.  :))

An interesting card. I proposed a flexible way of paying as well in the Shard Madness competition, but it was shot down.

I personally don't like the name of the cards however, it seems too related to Voodoo Doll, which it's clearly not, especially with Voodoo Doll costing a meager 2 :darkness and not in need of a deal to summon.

Maybe call it Offering? Corrupt Wish?

EDIT: BTW typo, "paymeNt"

i like the above mentioned names more, as voodoo bargain makes it sound like the voodoo doll is turning tricks on the side
moose dont say moo.

If we are posting names I vote for "Infernal Bargain / Infernal Deal". It just gives it that "Deal with the Devil" feel.

Could also change it from Voodoo to Hoodoo as well.  Though substituting Dark sounds good too.

I love this idea!

Either this is a costly way to dip another element [Miracle, Supernova]
or it is 4|3 :darkness to get a card out a turn early [highest card cost is 12 right now]
This would also allow 2 ultimate spells per turn of the same element [only fractalx2 makes sense as of now]

I would stay away from western demonic/infernal naming because that implies evil. However Dark Bargain sounds right.

Fair enough.  Card updated, and typo fixed.
