I am just saying this, but I officially hate this card.
Earlier today, I was playing in the arena. I play a control deck, but this time, I found MYSELF being controlled. My opponent, was playing Shard of Focus, which by itself would have been fine. But they played three of them almost immediately. In addition to that, they played Earthquakes, and Devourers. They played no permanents other than Quantum Pillars. I found myself facing down three Black Dragons, with no field, no quanta, and a hand full of cards that I couldn't play. This was literally THE most infuriating game I have played thus far. Even more aggrivating than the time, there was a desync error, and my opponent fully healed every turn. (Which I still won.)

I am thinking about trying this in mono-aether. I just lost to osiris, who I usually squash, because he got this out early and I had to sacrifice a shield to lobotomize it.  I think I can modify my mono aether to accomodate this, but it really is needed. as a nonspecific quanta method of permanent control.

I will admit, it is a good card to run if you don't want to splash in some :fire.

Also, judging by the pic, the upped cost has gone up by 1 :rainbow .  If that`s so, it might be a little too much of a nerfing.

It stil can be played turn one with only two Quantum towers.
But I feel like the difference between the upped one and the unupped one is rather small (as in allmost inexistent)

Now upgraded shard of focus generates upgraded black holes.
It's good - a little buff to compensate the nerf.

This is what this card needed, a round of vulnerability.
Nice!

This card should still not even be in the game.  While a round of vulnerability helps, something like this should always be the result of something in-element.
