^ that, though that's really just the "other" mark of course.

The way I see it, most any idea you can think of can already fall under one of the twelve elements. We have everything from the natural to the metaphysical to philosophical. The lore here is pretty complete. As has been mentioned, your idea of a thunder element can fall into air, light, and aether, depending on the theme.

I will say however that a few of your ideas are fantastic, thematically. Raiju and Buraq are really interesting, and I'd love to see you submit a complete card idea for them in our "Card ideas and art" section. Maybe think about the mechanics first though? Like, why does Raiju have momentum, and why does buraq turn into a pegasus with reverse time, or require dark quanta to dive?  ?_?

I did the research regarding the two, Raiju is an ancient mythological beast from ancient times, it's also where Raichu the pokemon got it's name. Basically it was believed to be a fast creature, thus having momentum, maybe acceleration. Buraq is an old arabic winged horse type thing, thus similar to Pegasus, Buraq would thus turn into Pegasus with reverse time, as saying "Reverse Time" on something ancient, is reverse psychology, making it more upto date seeing Pegasus/Pegasi. Theoretically speaking however, there isn't much of a difference between Buraqs and Pegasi at all. And yes, having a Thunder dragon, would kind of be OP, as each element is OP in it's own way, Valkyrie Lance sounds absolutely amazing, I should've thought of that, thankyou for saying that Dawn to Dusk. That also contradicts my statement of the Lobo. Cthonic vs Gaian seems pretty cool, although Cthonic would go under Earth, as the word Cthonic translates from Kthonic (Greek) into Earth.  Gaia was also the Goddess of Earth in ancient Greek, making it a Greek Deity, could be a potential name for a new False God maybe, or a new " God Card " which is extremely rare...I mean literally extremely rare.

Or, I just thought, based on Norse Mythology, name the Thunder weapon, Mjolnir, after God of Thunder Thor's mighty hammer

Even though it is far from a new element, that actually creates a bunch of new possible strategies, with the rest of the pendulumns (like the really old quantum pendulumn idea). Maybe he can finally add some creatures and spells to 'other' too ...

You could argue that about the weapons and shields (nova + long sword or tower shield), it depends a lot on what gets added.

Problem with new elements is that it would make nova and entropy shield (and every "other "card) even better, and quantum tower a bit worse. And would require lots of coding, not to mention it wouldn't really improve the game.

Mark of Chroma sounds good,  :entropy rainbows like it.

Ok, that was just a vote: no new elements.  So:
  There is no need for a new element.  There is not enough interaction between elements to make having a new element interesting.  12 is already extravagant - compare to other CCGs.  Any new card idea can be made to fit into an existing element.

Void doesn't fit into Thunder (much better name than Electric, this ain't pokemon) at all.

Thunder is the sound produced by lightning. Sound travels through air, and so the name Thunder is much more fitting for an Air element. I agree that Electric isn't a good name, but I even less agree that Thunder is a good name for an electricity element.

Amusing, but I read the whole post. I'm only addressing part of it in that people after you started calling the "New Element" Thunder as well. I am aware that the majority of your post was not about naming, but it was the first response to address it. It's not personal, but just the earliest reference to point at in the thread in order to say what I wanted about naming.
