except it gives you 5 turns of stall to continue to do damage and can be played without 12-15 light quanta

Yeah, the whole casting cost thing pretty much puts your statement in the realm of "ill thought out", there, BP. :)

If its not immaterial, I feel its not just a "Death" card, but also a dead card, lol. Again, this idea sucks so hard that we should start discussing a new shard to be death related.

What about:

Cost 5.
Halves your HP. Inverts healing and damage for 1 turn. Immaterial.
Add 3 poison counters to your opponent if your mark is :death

Looks more balanced to me. The current problem is that it has a superb effect and then need huge drawbacks to be balanced. But having a card that will in most cases decide alone if you win or lose is a bad idea to me. How about something less unstable, with a smaller effect / drawback?

I honestly think the current card would be just fine at 2 turns, upgraded at 3 turns with a 3 casting cost.

The card should definitely have a casting cost.  The only other zero cost card I can think of that can theoretically extend the game is holy flash, and...yeah...
(draining quanta after casting doesn't cut it imo)

This is a direct counter to immorushes and other decks that can have ridiculously high damage on the very first turn.
However, no other types of decks have that much damage potential, and so then the low cost becomes negligible, its drain quanta clause devastating.

some speedbows are overpowered, this counter such speedbows, now we just need to make it so this card doesn't counter underpowered decks.
(though whether a deck is underpowered or just bad is up to opinion)

The main thing i don't like about this card is that as soon as it is played it decides the game. You either win with PC, or some other means or you lose because they have 5 turns to attack at will

Sundial should be mentioned as a similar card if the turns are reduced to 2.

I'm probably the only person who's reminded of Abaddon, Lord of Avernus in DoTA when I see this card.
