I don't understand the need for this. While I understand that the computer can do all of the calculations, there is no need. Elements has very few cards. There is a large quantity of of simple cards, just as interesting, that can be used before jumping to unnecessary complexity. A card game should take simple ideas, and make them complex through the strategies they can be used in. Even MTG, a complicated and strategic card game, has it's Grizzly Bears.
Point?

These cards are a mechanically themed option to fill in the need for multiple type quanta generators. Each card is different to make it mechanically unique. Look at Phoenix, it could have just been a 7|1 card but it is now unique because of its rebirth mechanic.

Also please don't use Grizzly Bears as a key card. It has never been present in any leading constructed environment and been publicly admitted to as a pack filling card. While all cards can just be bought rather than opened by packs, there will be no need for filler cards.

It is actually 4 cards in one? It transforms each turn?

In order to simplify things, you could just make 4 cards that explain what they do on each one.

Moon Phasing text: Generates :time :aether :gravity and may add or remove  :entropy :water :darkness :light during each phase. This card changes phase each turn.

Newbie player reading it: OK, I have a rainbow that uses those elements, let me try it out and see.

One big mistake: The Newbie doesn't have the upgraded version. As well he doesn't have a rainbow deck.

He could test it with the trainer and an gravity - water combination (you don't have to use the other quanta small moon produces!) or with "more quanta" and he would quite know the card.

So, half-offtopic: There should be a link to the trainer from the main game (maybe after you finish the 500 score quest)

Talk about repetitive... Guys, one person saying "Oh, this card is too complex." is fine.. We don't need tons of people repeating the same thing as it now sounds like we're bashing on the maker.

Truthfully, I like this card. :) It shouldn't be too hard and it's creative. The artwork is fabulous~ Of course, I can see how this card could be used to micro-manage a deck to make its quantum outcome better but it could also be used as a simple 4-pillar-in-1 card.

One thing that I think is gonna be AWESOME with this card is a FG made out of this card. Probably called something simple like "Lunar" or something. :D And it'll master the synergies. That'll be hard to program but it'll be an awesome outcome.

:) So yeah... My 2 Cents is that I like this card ;D And with a table in a wiki, we'll all be happy and it's not too complex.
