Quantum Charger | Quantum Overload

NAME: Quantum Charger ELEMENT: Other COST: 3 TYPE: Permament TEXT: Generate a quantum for each Quantum Charger in play. Draw a card.	NAME: Quantum Overload ELEMENT: Other COST: 2 TYPE: Permament TEXT: Generate a quantum for each Quantum Overload in play. Draw a card.

ART: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/768340 http://www.sxc.hu/photo/768338 by gun4hire IDEA: Kakerlake NOTES: Stacks like Pillars. The Quantum generated matches the element of a random card in the game. If the chosen Card is Other, random quanta is generated. Upgraded version includes your hand. update: 3: Text reworded. (thx QuantumT) +1 Cost for both. 2: Added: Draw a card. 1: Reduced Cost by 1 for both. Stacks like Pillars, EQ kills it. Scrapped "up to" now it produces always X. Upgraded now includes your hand for production.

I find it a bit UP. Maybe 2 quanta per QC & QO?

[BloodAngel]

Agreed with YYB, don't get the fact why it should be overpowered tho'

I mean, if you compare this to quantum towers, which generate 3 random  each turn, + 3 when played.
This does less, and is only a bit harder to destroy.

[YoYoBro]

Would be good when stacked, just average otherwise.

I agree with YYB, stack it and give it Quanta Generator status(aka all the strengths/weaknesses of a pillar).  Overall an interesting card which works better as more are played.  I do agree that the card feels slighty UP.  Possibly add 1  quanta (not stacking, aka only 1 is generated regardless of how many you have) generated as well?

[Kakerlake]

Thanks for the feedback.

Well, I updated it according to your suggestions... Though I don't want to scrap the part where it produces more for each QC in play.

Anyway, since it has now Pillar status, you can add it more than 6 times to your deck. Meaning when you have 3 of this in the play, it produces as much Quantum as a Quantum Pillars but much more focused...
I think I'll remove this part again. There is no problem if it stacks and can be destroyed like Pillars but having it more than 6 times in a deck would be just too much.

[QuantumT]

It's a hard to decide whether to give it pillar status or not.

Pillar status-Probably replaces QTs in many cases, as it's the same with 3, and just get's quadratically better after that.

No pillar status-It's going to be hard to get at least 3 on the field with only 6 in the deck, at least early on, so I don't think it would really see much use.

Here are the ways I might fix each of these.

Pillar status- Make it cost more. Something in the 3-4 range to slow down playing them so their superior quanta generating abilities don't make QTs completely obsolete.

No pillar status-Draw a card when you play them. This will help you cycle through the deck quickly enough to actually make getting 4+ of them on the field an actual possibility.

[YoYoBro]

I think non pillar is better, for the reason you pointed out (we already have QTs)

[Kakerlake]

Great ideas, thanks^^

I like the non pillar version better as well. Will be implemented in a few minutes.

Edit: *done

Suddenly it looks like a decent card =) thanks folks ^^
Quite balanced but somewhat a must-have for any deck.

I'll link it up as a crucible candidate now.

[QuantumT]

If you want to get the word count down you could rephrase it like this:

Generate a quanta for each Quantum Charger/Overload in play.

[Uppercut]

I don't like the card draw. Precognition is the game's cheap card 1 for 1, and this is better than precognition in most decks, including time. This will eventually generate a time quanta and really it returning the quanta spent plus giving you protection from devourers is way more important than seeing their hand.

[ZephyrPhantom]

Errr, isn't this rather OP now? From what I see, you are playing a quanta generator and drawing a card for a quanta cost even cheaper than Precog ( quanta value <  :specific quanta value, usually a 3 : 1 cost ratio).

The least you should do is remove "Draw a card", which would balance it out a lot.
