I think it'd be nice to have something like Rainbow Bridge Card.

Cost: 2 of each element

Effect: Creatures on your side ignore shield effects (reason being, they are using the rainbow bridge to bypass shields).

This belongs in the card ideas and art section, not design theory, since you are proposing a card. But this idea, it's like a mass momentum card, which could be heavily overpowered, unless it had a large upkeep cost and the effect leaves when it's destroyed.

1) Currently there is not a quanta cost type for 1 per element. This additional coding makes the idea less desirable.
2) As has been pointed out this is mass Momentum which would indicate that Gravity not Other is the proper place for the mechanic. However this has a problem with the name in that Gravity does not create rainbows. This might be able to be made into an Air card but an Other card is stretching it.

Hmm, sorry if this is not the right section. This section is rather confusing to me, even after I read the guideline.

Anyhow, I'm not sure why it should fall under an element. It requires all quantas, so it should be an other card that can be used by any deck. If you are too hung up on the name, rainow (which is by the way not named based on any element on mind but rather appropriateness for the rainbow deck as well as the colors of those elements), then just change the name to whatever makes you happy. That's not the most important point when creating a card. Who cares what it's called. Shards could have been called stones, rocks, blah, blah. It would have made no difference. I've seen many of your posts by now, and you seem rather excessively critical of other people's posts. I'd respectfully encourge you to chill a little. When we have cards like SoG, far over-powered card, I don't see why this card would be a no go.

And, of course, it should be destroyable (I didn't write anywhere that it was indestructible).

The problem is this card's effect is a pure Gravity effect. Other cards have 3 roles IMO.
1) An effect that fits All Elements (Damage is an example, Momentum is not)
2) An effect that fits none of the Elements (Quantum Tower is an example, Momentum is not)
3) An effect that varies with Elemental Input (A Quantum Pendulum would be an example, Momentum is not)

Hence I think that this effect fits in Gravity and not Other
