Collapse | Implosion

[Xenocidius]

NAME: Collapse ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 4 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Destroy up to 2 permanents in the target cluster.	NAME: Implosion ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 3 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Destroy up to 2 permanents in the target cluster.

ART: Art from Elements the Game (edited by Xenocidius) IDEA: Xenocidius NOTES: Sort of like Earthquake, but can be used on any permanent. With the new shards coming out as stacking permanents, I thought something like this would work. Can destroy 2 pillars, pendulums, Bone Wall shields and shards. Anything else it just destroys one.

So... it's a nerfed Earthquake?

if you use it on pillars yes, but its more versatile as it can be used on permanents, which earthquake cannot.

[Xenocidius]

Yep, it's much more versatile than Earthquake, but less powerful when used on pillars/pendulums.

Small bump. With the release of Beta and a first look at stackable shards, this becomes a lot more interesting. Thoughts?

  doesn't have a quanta-dump yet. It could spend all your quanta, and destroy quanta / 5 permanents in the stack. Or any other number you care to come up with.

Differentiates it a bit further from relatively cheap, single-use Steal and Explosion.

Maybe you can halve the stack, rounded down?
So, if you hit a fresh-casted bone wall (7 counters) it drops to 3 counters.
On a single permanent (or a stack made of 2) it works like an overpriced explosion.

I love this idea. It not only gives the Gravity element a much-needed buff, but it also makes sense thematically -- something that a lot of cards I've seen have trouble with. I'm changing my votes to include this one.

[Xenocidius]

With the nerf of Deflagration | Explosion, I gave it a cost increase. Discuss.

It's a very nice card.  I don't know what you costed it at before, but it seems okay, although maybe +1 cost on this would be better.  I'd be very scared of decks packing this and black hole/amber nymph :p  Imagine this on pillars and amber nymph locking the remaining quanta down... ugh :p

Love it, just like it is now. More profittable than explition/deflag when used in 2 perms, but less than them using it in a single thing.
