Well, the Ball Lightnings can't count as creatures at the end of your turn, because they're dead.

But to use the extra 1 Quanta, change one Ball Lightning into a Lightning Bolt, which does the same damage but costs 1 . 

So, for the record:

:aethermark

Pet: Colossal Dragon

Hand:

Photon
Nova
Cremation
Supernova
Ball Lightning
Ball Lightning
Lightning Bolt


- Play Photon
- Play Cremation (9 , 1 of each other)
- Play Nova (10  , 2 of each other, total 32)
- Play Supernova (12 , 2 , 4 of each other, total 54.)
- Play 2x Ball Lightning, 1x Lightning Bolt (total 53.)

The creatures deal 23 damage (bringing opponent to 77), and your Mark goes off.  You end with 54 quanta, with no permanents, 1 creature, and no cards in hand.

OK, agreed.

My idea:

Pet = Phoenix

Starting hand
Cremation
Cremation
Cremation
Photon
Fahrenheit
Flying weapon
Adrenaline

Mark of Anything

But yours is right too.

[Essence]

So...Cremation x3 = 27 quanta and 11x3 = 33 of everything else, for a total of 60 quanta.  Fahrenheit takes 3 quanta, Flying Weapon take one off of somewhere (who cares), and Adrenaline takes 3 quanta, leaving you with 53, plus one from your mark is 54.  Check.

Fahrenheit deals 5+ (ROUNDOWN (24/5)), or 5+4, or, or 9 damage.  A 9-damage creature with Adrenaline attacks for 9/3, dealing 12 damage, leaving your opponent at 88 HP.

I don't see it. 

Screenie for proof of mechanic.  I couldn't get exactly 9 ATK, but I got 10, which demonstrates the point perfectly:

Don't forget the phoenix pet. I don't know what the adrenaline stats are for seven attack, but I'd guess that accounts for this difference.

EDIT: You have to use unupped Fahrenheit, unless I'm mistaken. Then you deal eight damage instead, along with the fifteen from from Adrenalined Phoenix, and it should come out right.

^phoenix got cremated

[Korugar]

Hmm...forgot about that.

[Essence]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he thought it worked like it SHOULD work: with Fahrenheit getting the attacks of a 5-attack critter (5/4/2) and adding it's +4 bonus to each of those attacks (9/8/6, or 23 damage, which would in fact leave the opponent at 77.)

Unfortunately, it doesn't actually work that way.

3 QTs (3 , 2 , 2 , 1 , 1 other)
1 Discord
1 Explosion
1 Earthquake
1 un-upped Precognition

1 (precog'd) Animate Weapon

What happened to my puzzle?

[Baily18]

No pets allowed.

By the end of the first turn you should have 1 creature that can not be affected by any opposing cards except Sundial and you should have zero permanents (besides your initial Mark).  On the second turn you should be able to destroy 2 different permanents leaving yourself with zero quanta.  Assume the opponent uses Nightmare but does nothing to disturb your quanta.

2 QT(2 fire 2 entropy 1 gravity 1 earth)
2 explosions
1 imp. momentum
1 mutation
1 photon
mark of fire
put down qt's, summon photon, momentum it, mutate into a burrowed momentumed graboid with destroy for 1 earth. Explode both quantum towers. end turn. next turn, +1 fire from mark, draw explosion. use graboids destroy and explosion.
This should be right.
I have to think of a puzzle :c

[Baily18]

well im pretty sure smuglapse's puzzle was the one from the post above judging from the "what happened to my puzzle"
new very bad puzzle
end your first turn with an 8 attack vampire creature controlling no pillars/towers and no quantum

Extremely close.  You missed this part, though: "Assume the opponent uses Nightmare", so you are unable to draw an Explosion.
