1x Quantum Tower,  , will produce three more at end of turn
1x Brimstone Eater, will produce one more quanta at end of turn
1x Gnome Gemfinder, will produce one more quanta at end of turn
1x Damselfly, will produce one more quanta at end of turn
3x upgraded Sundial, costs nothing and will produce nothing

This one doesn't take into account for the mark, but if it needs to, please clarify if you want six quanta to be produced at the end of the turn, or if you want the person to have six quanta after the first turn.

Wrong.

You get the six quanta before clicking done.


(And sundial don't count, too. I forgot about them.)

[Korugar]

So, you gain six quanta before you click done, or you have six quanta at the time you click done?

You gain six quanta before you click done.

[Essence]

Starting with no creatures, and no damage causing spells in your hand, and do 30 damage.  End your turn with no quantum, and no pet.  You CAN go second if you must.

English question -- the way this is phrased, it could mean "you start with no creatures and also you start with no damage causing spells in your hand", OR it could mean "you start with none of the set of [creatures and damage causing spells] in your hand."

The first means no pets, but yes creatures in your hand -- the second means yes pets, but no creatures in your hand.  Which is it?



And for RavingRabbid: when you say "play 6 cards other than pillars", do you mean "play" as in "take the card out of your hand and put it into play", or do cards generated by effects other than your hand count?

You must do 30 damage.

[Essence]

Simple enough, I don't even need to go 2nd.

Mark is irrelevant.

Hand is:
Nova
Supernova
Cremation
Precognitionx2
Chaos Seed
Shard (unupped)


- play Nova.
- play Precognition: draw Ray of Light
- play Ray of Light.
- play Cremation on your Ray of Light.
- play Supernova.
- play Precognition: draw Ruby Dragon.
- play Chaos Seed on Ruby Dragon, hax the TU effect.
- play the Shard over and over and over again until your quanta pool is empty. 


Tah-dah!   (What was your solution?)


New Puzzle

Here's a simple one:

*End your first turn with 2 Towers and creatures that cost a combined total of at least 45 quanta to play.

[Krahhl]

New puzzle

No pet.

You generate 6 quanta on your first turn, and play 6 cards other than pillars.

Be happy trying to solve this.


(Oh, yeah, you don't have any photons or sparks).

(and every card you use will take effect).

(Precognition and Dagger not allowed).

Starting hand:
Nova
Leaf Dragon
Thunderbolt
Gnome Gemfinder
Shockwave
Brimstone Eater
Siphon Life

Play every card in that order, using spells on the previously played creature. End up with 6 quanta.

a;sldfk;sdl'fsa that's seven non-pillar cards ._.

That was exactly my solution, Krahl.  Well done.  

(Of course, you mean Ruby Dragon, not Crimson Dragon, but we get it.)

Now post a new puzzle!

Now post a new puzzle!

Let's get mine. I'll repost it.

[RavingRabbid]

Before you clicked done, you produced 6 quanta and consumed it.

Every card you used, had a relevant effect on battle. (Not like playing Holy Flash on yourself at 100 life.)

Sundial, Precog, Photon, Spark and Dagger not allowed.

You played 6 non-pillar card.

No pet.
Won Coin Toss.

Oh, I thought you meant that we had to have 6 quanta when we pressed done.

Can we produce more than 6 quanta, as long as we use it all?

Otherwise, this seems impossible, as it takes 2 towers to generate 6 quanta, any other non-nova/cremation (which produce too much) source doesn't work until the turn ends, and with 7 cards, only 5 non-pillar cards are left. Without precognition, there's no way to play 6 non-pillar cards.

The obvious answer is that I'm overlooking something, which is completely possible.


Edit: Do pendulums count as pillars?

5 darkness pendulums, a darkness tower, and dusk mantle (unupped)?

Minimum 6 quanta, maximum 6 quanta. And thanks for making me notice. Pendulums count as pillars.
