I hate to be the first one to ask, but how well does this deck work unupped? Obviously CPs need to be upped or they're useless, but beyond that?

Upped: Indicates upgraded card. Once other quests are finished, you can upgrade a card for 1500e.
Unupped: Indicates non-upgraded card.

Small necro to throw in a small idea.

We were having an issue where larger decks had unusually high QI ratings, right?

Divide [QI formula] by deck size and multiply by 30? QI remains the same for thirty-card decks but is "normalized" as the deck grows larger. (Or would this make it too complicated? After all, draw cards will throw it off.)

Remind me to tell my opponents in the future that I'm playing Ragequit at the beginning of every pvp match. Easy disconnects? Mebbe. I guess it depends on whether the AI is any good with their deck.

Got two more.

Midnight : Each time you gain quanta, gain the same amount of quanta.
Noon : Each time you gain quanta, gain the same amount of quanta.

Both permanents, not sure how to balance costs/upgrades.

First post.

Parallel Timeline : When one player would draw a card, the other player draws a card as well. (Cost
~6 , effect does not stack with itself. Permanent. Upgrade reduces quantum cost by 1.)

Nihilist : Destroy all creatures in play. Your turn ends immediately. (Cost ~8 to play, and another ~4 to use the ability. No end-of-turn attacks, quantum gain, SoG heals, etc. will occur. 2/2 creature. Upgrade is 3/3 creature.)

Relativity : Draw a card. One creature you control gains Adrenaline, but loses all its health. (Costs maybe 2-3 each of , , --if programming makes this impossible for some reason, 10 random instead. Upgraded version gives two creatures Adrenaline. Spell.)

Solidarity : Your opponent's quanta all become the same element as your Mark. (Costs ~4 quanta of the same element as your Mark. Spell. Upgrade reduces quantum cost by 1.)

Overgrow : Target creature's ability becomes :life: Gain +1/+1. (Costs ~5 . Spell. Upgrade makes ability give +2/+1 instead.)

Mobius Labyrinth : Attacking creatures have a chance to be delayed by up to three turns. (Costs ~7 . Shield. Upgrade reduces quantum cost by 1.)

Bubonic Epidemic : When a creature dies, its owner gains a poison counter. (Costs ~7 . Permanent, possibly a shield. Upgrade increases quantum cost by 1 and gives out two poison counters.)

Antipillars: Remove an opponent's quanta every other turn. (One for each element, costs ~3 of the appropriate element. Permanent.)
