Card Idea Engine (Communal Card Creation)

[EmeraldTiger]

Here is the idea Shard | Shard of Home - Permanent
The element of all cards you control now match your mark. Consume all quanta matching your mark.
Notes: All pillars and pendulums now produce quanta matching your mark.
All costs now match your mark.

[EmeraldTiger]

would this be better?

Grant Time cost 6 This spell consumes remaining time quanta.
Creature gains 4  Send Past: Target creature becomes original form.

Infuse Time cost 6 This spell consumes remaining time quanta.
Creature gains 4  Send Future: Target creature becomes its upgraded form.

change this idea to a spell
I think both are = in power so they should have the same cost.
Send to Past: Target creature becomes original form.
This would turn any creature to its original unupped just played form. If it is a mutant the mutation is removed and any buffs or status effects.

Send to Future: Target creature becomes its upgraded form.
This would turn any creature to its original upped just played form. If it is a mutant the mutation is removed and any buffs or status effects.

here is my new idea for 

Grant Darkness cost 3
Creature gains 3 Ninja: creature is unblock-able.

Infuse Darkness cost 5
Creature gains 4 Shadow Ninja: creature is unblock-able and poison.

I also would like to develop this
This one may also be doable http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,12550.msg168582#msg168582
The rest would have to be completely new.

Brainstorming for a new "problem/puzzle" to solve will begin on Friday.
the problems/puzzles suggested should be:
1) Fixable with new cards [The CCC creates cards]
2) Solution unknown [We don't solve solved puzzles in the CCC]
3) Large scale [No counter card X puzzles will be accepted. Counter card type X is iffy and would require a good argument]
4) Valuable [The CCC wants to improve the game not just change it]
5) Interesting [This will be determined by a vote later]

Great art! This shard would have to be really expensive though. Imagine Nova + this.

@ET about greenman777's suggestion:

   : wasn't this suggested before? I was planning to make a card of my own about this (it was going to be a  spell) and planned to use the upgrade arrow as the picture. May I make my version as a standalone card first?

   Unupped is UP momentum, and Upped is OP momentum.

whoa!! thats one Funky shard

I thought of another idea for a series
"Out Of" Series
Out of Time
Out of Mind
Out of Darkness
Out of Control
Out of Water
Out of Ground
Out of Breath
Out of Sight
Out of Power
Out of Bounds
Out of Nowhere
Out Of Dreams

[Nepycros]

Well, here's how I interpret it.

It devestates the opponent's specific quanta pool? You play "Out of Time" and the opponent's quanta is completely swapped into other elements?

[OldTrees]

Before we carried away with new ideas, let us try to focus our creative energy on figuring out what can be improved in Elements. From there we will have balanced, interesting and useful series

I don't see how any of these cards could be useful unless you knew your opponent's mark. It's just too situational. If there was a card that switched your opponents mark, or something like that then this card would be much more useful. As it is, you would need to take 12 cards (one of each element) to have a 100% chance of actually using one of them. It is just too bulky.

How about a card that affects the quanta type with the most quanta, i.e. if they had 15  and 4 , it would affect the  quanta ?

Well I guess I not afraid to let everyone know any more. I was greenman777.

I only suggested the names, I didn't provide any concept to go with them.

Sorry, I should have directed that at Nepycros

Back to OldTrees, deciding what this game needs starts with running clueless, and eventually building off of a couple of the many ideas we come up with. The key to any card designing is
1. Understanding the problem
2. Brainstorming
3. Brainstorming
4. Brainstorming
~
9. Deciding on a concept that fits into a Design Matrix
10. Finding a thematic approach to fit the ability itself
11. Balancing
12. Introducing to community
13. Receiving feedback
14. Making appropriate changes
15. Repeat #13 until all changes necessary are complete.
16. Putting in Crucible.

Since we're still on Steps 1 and 2, it's good for Emeraldtiger to suggest that series. After all, we don't know exactly what this game needs, so the best we can do is Brainstorm.
