this is a great buff. 50 hp really wasn't enough. it does, however, strike me as odd that it has so little earth cost for what it does and how much quanta it takes to use it effectively anyway.

It's not so easy to use this card actually. You need to sit on your quantas for quite a bit until you have 75. Until then you can't heal yourself. I found a way to use the new verison though.

- Do nothing except use diamond shield/pulvy/BB/rewinds or whatever.
- Wait for 75 quanta
- Play 3 or 4 skins and drop 5 or 6 Basalt dragons! (Yes really they can be used!)
- Enjoy your high score.
Shards aren't overpowered, as long as you have them yourself.

Untrue. I have a Graboid rush with 6 Stone Skins that wins around 250 HP most games. You don't need 77 :earth to play it at all. At 22, it's better than a Heal (unless you want EM), and spam them around 30-40 and you end up with tons of HP while still putting out fast offense.

While I'm a bit of a perfectionist myself, I'd like to point out to all the other perfectionists out there: you really, really don't need tons of quanta for this card to be powerful.

It's the same theme as Fire Lance, but you don't see people complaining about that one.  More quanta just lets you get more out of it.
