ART:

IDEA:
moyi
NOTES:
I just wanted to create one more way to get more than 6 copies of a card, especially for spells and permanents.
It can also be used with Precognition, so you can target and copy your enemy's cards - Don't know the use... but I think it would be interesting...

The card idea obviously came from the Schrödinger’s Cat. Perhaps we can have a cat for each element?

Hope you like it  ;).
SERIES:
Currently no, but if you like the cat series, we can create it together?

1. Like Mindgate with inverted costs (cheaper to play, more expensive to use). Might even overshadow Mindgate (let's you target what you want a copy of instead of leaving it to chance/Rewind).
2. Like Mindgate and Fractal, it doesn't actually prevent deck-out.
3. Change the :aether in the Element section to Aether. There's an Aether element, but no Aether Quanta element.

yeah, it won't help prevent deck-out.... my mistake..

don't quite understand 3?

or what if i turn the wording into:

Create a copy of the target card and put it on the top of your card pile?

Than it can prevent deck-out, right?

If this can prevent deckout, it will overshadow Eternity too. Aetherbow anyone?
Also, for the formatting. :aether represents Aether quanta. The word "Aether" represents Aether element.
So, it's not "Element: :aether" but "Element: Aether".

I like this idea alot, but I'm kind of a noob so what do I know ::).
I also really like the idea of having a different type of cat for every element too, like with dragons or nympths, I hope you do try to make them, it would be interesting to see what you come up with ;).
Goodluck with getting it into the actual game...

i love the idea of this card. As my favorite aether card is MindGate, this would make a nice addition to my MindGate deck i play.

This is cool. It's similar to mindgate, but you're not really using the opponent's strategy against them as mindgate does. I doubt I'd use this much without quint though :)
