All of you are forgetting a little card called Antimatter. If you antimatter an Amethyst Dragon, you have a -12/6 creature, which can be Butterflied, then antimattered again to have a very big destroyer. Of course, this costs a grand total of 26 quanta for the creature and the effects (22 if you use a Purple Nymph to antimatter the creature twice), so it's not cost-effective at all, which leads me to my main point...

Pretty much everything in the Entropy set costs a whole lot more than everything else in other sets. The only thing that is a pretty decent deal is the dragon, but all the dragons cost between 10-12 quanta when upgraded. Entropy's quantum cost scale is off the mark and needs some tweaking. The creatures all cost five quanta, the shield is just terrible because everything else is expensive, the spells are either very expensive because the ability is so massive, or cheap because the effect is negligible (supernova doesn't count in mono). I can make a very good mono Entropy deck no problem, it's just weird to me that when I build a deck, the fastest thing I can make unupped is a mid-range creature deck with a lot of pillars and few spells, which is the bread and butter of Entropy's arsenal.
You, sir, are a mad-ass genius.

And I was actually praying for this very card a few months ago. Thank you, Zanza-deity, for answering my prayers.

Also, does Destroy overwrite existing skills? Because you could use it on a Lycanthrope, grow it, and have a 6/6 attacker with destroy.

One more thing. Why would you upgrade it? It's upgrade cost is more than it's original cost.

No it's not. It costs one less when upped.

It used to be:
8 :entropy --> 7 :entropy

It's currently:
5 :entropy --> 7 :entropy

He probably just forgot to update it.  I hope the activation is going to be 2 :entropy and not just 4 :entropy for the cost.  (Equal to Pulverizer.)

Also, to the above poster, that's a pretty good use for it (overriding skills) if they don't use Entropy, like the vampire potion.

Okay that makes sense that he didn't change the upped version yet. I'm gonna mess with it some more in the trainer after the tournament.

That seems to be much better, what do you say jmizzle? much more reasonable cost, or could it still stand to be reduced?

This card has got a lot of destructive potential. Too bad you'll have to use another quintessence for it to work properly.

Not always. Armagio would be good with this.

That phrase isn't exclusive to Armagio, though. ;) Kami was saying that an Armagio is much harder to remove than most other creatures. But yes, rewind ftw.

this should be able to target any creature , it shouldn't be restricted to small creatures. I know that fits with the premise of the name, but it doesn't really improve gameplay, it just hampers a good card unnecessarily.
