I caught the original picture.

Anyways, this is overpowered. Getting 109 fire quanta isn't that hard. All you need is that much quanta and one of these and you pretty much win against any deck without a reflecting shield or a way to increase max HP (about 95% of the decks out there). A stall deck with this card is quite powerful.

How do you make it weaker? I don't really know. I guess make it unable to target players and reduce the cost.

[qetuol]

maybe HALF the fire quanta you have? or divided by 3?

[icybraker]

Divided by 3 would make it a more expensive clone of Fire Bolt. Making it half would just make it very similar. You should make something completely different. Example:

Spontaneous Combustion
Costs 9
Deal 10 damage to the target. The target is dealt 1 burn damage with every attack. Stacks.

So, using it on a player with 100 health brings him down to 90. Let's say you have 3 Ash Eaters on the field. Normally, they would do 2+2+2 damage for 6, bringing him down to 84, but now, they deal (2+1)+(2+1)+(2+1) damage (the 1 being additional burn damage), or 9, dropping him down to 81.

[qetuol]

this car should be a permanent then... (deals 10 dmg once but the +1 attack is added every turn for each creature..)

basicallly hes icybreaker is saying keep the name but change the card there is no way to weaken it without turning it into a firebolt

[Olidot]

I agree with Icy, as the original would be REALLY OP with Fractal Brimstone Eaters.

[qetuol]

Ok, what about this:

Deals 3 (2?) damage for each fire pillar you possess. Also consumes all fire quanta.

Btw i think argumentation like "similar to Firebolt" is not too valid because there are bunch of similar cards...
e.g. Firabolt and Thunderbolt, dragons, etc..

[wizelsnarf]

I like tying it to your pillars. That seems like a cool idea which no card currently utilizes.

It isn't very spontaneous if you target a creature... Maybe it could hurt a random creature or something? Dunno.

[dracomageat]

How about simply "Destroy target creature, it deals damage to you equal to its HPs"?

Or possibly at a high cost it might even damage its owner.

[PuppyChow]

I disagree with it being OP.

With 109 fire quanta, 3 fire lances kills a person too. And it's not hard to get 3 of those...

Granted, it is also better creature control than fire lance, but it cost six times as much AND you lose the rest of your fire quanta.

[qetuol]

Ok, nerfed to half of fire quanta.

Let me know if i you thin is better use fire pillars instead of quanta...
