ART:
Zanzarino (I think)
IDEA:
Xenocidius
NOTES:
You may target pillars, towers or pendulums. It adds 1 to that stack. If it is an upgraded stack it generates appropriate quanta on use. It also works on the opponent's stacks.
As you can see, it makes trio/quartet decks much more viable.
I really hope this hasn't been done before, but it seems like such an obvious idea that I feel it must have been.

I don't think it has but it certainly should have been.

Why should anybody use this card, if you want more towers you can just put one more tower in your deck
If you're weak, then run, but toward your enemy

The idea is interesting...But!

With this, I can buy and upgrade only 20 of this, and use it for EVERY DECK! I need no more to upgrade different pillars :\  unless if this card limit is 6 like all the other non pillars card...

I think the upgraded version of this card simply adds an extra pillar without having to pay 1 quantum for doing so. It does not summon an upgraded tower in place of a pillar.

On that note, if you use this on a stack of TOWERS, will it also summon one extra quantum just like playing a tower would?

Looks balanced. The cost increase balances the quanta fixation.

Sorry maybe I am dumb but I am not entirely sure why this card is needed.(probably due to my understanding of the card) It looks like it would simply take the place of a normal pillar placed which in my mind doesnt increase the viability of triple and quadruple elements. The only real use I see in it to replace regular pillars are if you already drew all the needed pillars, it cuts down on the randomness of future draws of pillars(but could also be worse because if you have a starting hand of these and only one type of pillar out, it is a bad thing) The only other use I can think of is putting it on an opponents pillars to...get more out of a black hole?(not worth it at all in this case)

Quantum Harmonizer (Forge, IIRC) has about the same mechanic... Your idea is nice, but it doesn't really solve the main issue with trios. You can adjust what you have, but you cannot use this card to produce a type of pillar or pendulum you haven't drawn yet. That reduces its power and potential by a lot, IMO.

The card limit is indeed 6, for now. Besides, the upgrade only makes the card free. It only generates quanta on use if it is played on a stack of towers or upgraded pendulums.
