Thanks for the clarification.

But any comments on the card itself ?

It is overcomplicated. 2 effects rather than 3 would be better.

Maybe it only deals damage when it is chained ? Combining the chaining and the damage effect

Chain cards should have a base effect. I think it would be fine with just damage and the recursion abilities.

Can't the base effect be "returning this card to deck" ?

After all, it's a time card, and you are supposed to use it with card-drawing effects

Once the chain starts, each subsequent card deals a certain amount of damage

So you would need multiple copies of the card for it to work effectively?

And If you did use multiple cards in one turn it, it would lock up your deck for the next few turns?

Hourglasses / sundial / precognition / Shard of Bravery

you can use it for 2-3 times with only one card

If it's all right, Im going to create a topic with my take on a similar card.
Would you be against it?(They have the same goal, dealing damage, the chaining works a bit different though)

Of course not. Maybe we can learn from each other

It seems like a lot of damage considering it isn't destroyed on use, it can't be PC'd, and it's in-element with time as well as its drawback synergyzing with Time cards (Precognition, Golden Nymph, Hourglass).  Why should it do so much damage?

[Scaramanga]

Change it to:

Randomly draw 0-2 cards.

This is an excelent anti-deckout card. With two of there one played after the other, you can non stop dealing 16 damage to your opponent every turn and prevent deck out. Requires the same number of cards to operate as PA'd eternity except you don't need a rewind incase you bottom deck one, so it is actually better, except vulnerable to steal.

Though I am slightly worried about balancing issues. Unstable gas costs 5 with 1 to activate for one turn only. This costs 4 with 1 to activate, for potentially endless turns. Similar quanta/dmg ratio, but with more abilities and mono element.
