Pseudoquanta

[nerd1]

well no one can stop you... the most they can do is be angry, and if it was my idea or remotely so i would say yes.

I'd like to officially request permission from everyone involved to use Copy, Mirror, and Priori quanta for a new series of cards.

Please and thank you!

sure you can use copy, these ideas are for everyone.

like i said, no one can stop you

True, no one can stop you. Though it is fairly probable that if someone were to use things without permission consistently on these forums, they'd also use art for cards without permission, in which case someone will be there to stop them  In any case, while I'm sure that people who come up with pseudoquanta ideas and make art are more than willing to allow someone to use something if asked permission first, finding out that someone used something without permission is rather off-putting, and give them a strong incentive NOT to let that same person use the resource if they decide to ask.

saynt, i could'nt see your versin of the copy quanta picture, can you help?

[Saynt]

I've attached 5 different formats. If you still can't see it, then you probably have images disabled on your browser.

thanks, that worked fine.

Haha!! Carry on Ess! How can we say no to Jezzie's Pimp?

On a slightly unrelated note, using Priori I'd think feels appropriate on cards, right? It's an exciting concept!

All pseudoquanta needs to have a purpose and an inherent value to the game.

I do not think all the current ideas have been sufficiently defended nor the case of their value (if any) made strong enough for all the ideas.

Additionally cards should only use a pseudoquanta as a shortcut if the card justifies the shortcut. I trust that Essence will do as good a job as possible.

OldTrees, please show an example of how you would make a card using a justified pseudoquanta shortcut.

Thank you. ^_^

Better yet I will use Zanz's handiwork as an example.

The first pseudoquanta that was heard about was  .
  was the mechanic of having a cost drain randomly from 1 or more pools of quanta until the cost was paid. This mechanic permitted cards that could be used by any quanta supply. This allowed Zanz to make cards that would be able to be used in any deck that had a non 0 cost.
It also allowed random quanta generation which allows a deck to play any card at a cost. This allowed Rainbow decks to be made which greatly increased the types of viable decks available to the player.

What types of cards would be justified in using  ?
(note: I used the characteristics that justified the pseudoquanta to derive the characteristics that justified the usage.)
A card that costs  would be usable by all. So it needs to be useful to many. (useful to all would be poor design)
A card that generates  would be able to use all. So it needs to be able to support a variety of cards without becoming OP.

Result:
Shield & Quantum Pillar

my copy quanta justifies its existence in mindgate decks, as well as rainbow decks, because that way you will have quanta of your opponents mark to play their cards with a card that generates copy quanta, and in rainbows, you will probly have the quanta to play cards that employ copy quanta anyways.

^ Of course, it can also be used to directly affect the opponent's quanta resource.
