ART: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1098017 IDEA: Zblader NOTES: A nice little card that can function well in all sorts of decks, especially in 3-5 element decks where you can switch the element being produced in case you need more of a certain quantum. "Target element" would have the "targeting" highlight the quantum pools with a glow similar to how playable cards are highlighted in your hand.  This is possible to be coded, as confirmed by Xenocidius.

Superb, I say. However, I'm not a fan of 12 tiny targeting circles around the quanta screen. If I could suggest, make it produce quanta of the target card's element?

I don't want to post any more comments on card ideas any more, but I really want to say this:

can we please stop coming up with cool pillar replacement ideas? I agree that these are very cool, but I like to see that the pillars live
(I know that pillars are still better for some decks, because of their upgraded version, but the unupgraded pillars are kinda.... yeah...)

Why is alternative quantum generation a bad idea? Duos and rainbows are currently popular due to the Pendula and cards like Nova and Immolation. The card I'm suggesting is simply a small buff to trios quartets and quintets, because their quantum production is often tricky to balance.

This isn't a pillar either - you can only have 6 per deck. Upgraded, I would rather use towers, nova, or pendulas in a Mono/Duo/Rainbow.

I've noticed that a lot of the decks I try to make fall upon some fatal quanta flaw, which this card would easily solve.

Full support here.

A casting cost of 2|1  would fix that though. (Casting cost of 1 upgraded to leave room for cards inbetween Towers and Upgraded Lockets)

However the rest of the card is great.

[ZephyrPhantom]

Unupped is OP compared to pillars. (I expected better ZBlader)
A casting cost of 1-2  would fix that though.
I was trying to avoid that, but it looks like I cannot. I will change cost the 1 quantum when I have the time. (Did it on the table but unable to do on image ATM.)
Somewhat tired so apologies if I'm not up to par in terms of design.

Being tired does have that effect. I always found direct comparisons helps negate the errors of being tired. Your bogeys tend to be eagles. It was just the reasonably high expectations that made me slightly disappointed.
I would raise the activation cost on the upgraded to 1 .

Superb, I say.

^ pretty much says it all. I'd love to have this card

It's a great buff to duos and trios that's really hard to make because of quanta balancing. Nice to go I'd say But how do you target element?

It highlights the quantum pools, as I answered above. (Added to notes)

All balancing changes were made - Quantum Locket now costs 1 | 0 to play and 1 | 1 to use ability.

This is a great card.
