I'm pretty indifferent to the card as it is, I could see it being put to decent use, and horribly backfiring.


I'd like to add, though, that while using another artist's work is already ruffling my feathers, using it and editing it is a reason to get pretty pissed off. I suggest you either use original work, get permission from the author, or use royalty-free images such as this one (http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1043032) or this one (http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1099574). Those are free to edit, too.

On the deviantART page, it tells you whether you can use the image or not. For my other card, Corruption, the image had a license beneath it; I've read the license carefully, and made sure that I am allowed to use that image and edit it. For this image, I see no license; what tells me that I can't use it?

The very fact that it isn't released under a license. This means it's released under applicable copyright law, as the '©2007-2010 ~HaylieNowak' implies.

To me, it seems that those images with the "buy this print" tags are not for me to use. But basically you're saying that NOTHING on deviantART is usable, UNLESS it has that license? I find that highly unlikely. So you're basically saying that if I make a random doodle in Paint, and submit it to deviantART, then nobody is allowed to use that doodle?

I still believe that if that image is not available to use, it should have some sort of "not available for use" tag on it. Otherwise people would be breaking laws way too often.

And again, the only reason I've even bothered to include an image is that people will not look at this idea if it has no images. I'm beginning to think that I should have just used a blank card template to avoid all this trouble.

I think the "All your  are consumed" is a very unnecessary line. It consumes all of your quanta anyway!

That is exactly what the law says, yes.

Touche.

Also, I don't think Zanz wants a series of this cards. I mean, if he wanted one, they would all have the same rarity, and Fractal didn't even start like that. That was just balancing.

This.

Also I don't see the point of this card to be honest. All it does is delay your death. The problem is that card hurts both you and your opponent equally, only it kind of hurts you even MORE because not only does it take one slot but you also have to PAY for it.

Unless your opponent uses Fire Bolts or something, it's pretty useless.  Of course you could use this in a deck-out deck, but I would still want to see it hurt you less than your opponent.

Why not simply increase the cost and make it drain only your opponent or something? Although in that case you might have to increase the cost a lot so that it cannot be chained.

I added "All your are consumed" simply for the sake of consistency.

None can read the Divine mind that is Zanzarino. Who knows, maybe he didn't want one initially, but after making Fractal he started to want one?

@SG: Seriously? You don't see the potential for denial decks? Destroy all pillars, then destroy all quanta. Boom, your opponent will be stuck for a couple of turns. I'd probably make a Gravity/Earth deck with Mark of Darkness for Devourers, and it should deny so well that it's even more complete than the Fractal-Devourer deck.

Making this only drain your opponent's quanta is extremely overpowered, no matter how high the cost is. Unless you make the cost 30 or something, which I don't really want.

its also good for the killing blow, to make sure they can't miracle themselves, and it doesn't hurt you that much if played right as you can use your abilities before you play it, your opponent cannot and even then oyu'll get some more quantum before they do

[jmizzle7]

This is a tempo card of the highest degree. If you are winning the damage race, this pretty much means you get a free turn, meaning you are winning the damage race even more. Aggro-tempo decks like Charger Singularity would be quite good, especially if paired with a Time mark and Rewinds. Ridiculous card that needs to cost at least 3-4 more quanta.

[Bloodshadow]

SG thinks it's UP, Jmizzle thinks it's OP...

I think it could be useful in conjunction with anubises. Play an anubis, play singularity, opponent can not kill your anubis, you immortalize your anubis on the next turn.
Good in scarab decks ( ), as long as you can pay it with your mark in a reasonable time, or if you run aether mark and gravity pillars.
