Cygnia / Re: Harmonic Pillar | Harmonic Tower

i like it. anything that makes the land between mono and rainbow easier to stand on is cool in my book. only thing i would suggest is a name/type change. the pillar/tower at the end gives the impression that you may include more than six. the type needs to be a permanent, or make a new 'nonbasic pillar' type because the game rules say '2- Your deck can have a maximum of 6 cards of the same type (does not apply to pillars).' just a bunch of semantics though, great card.

i like it as a spell. the artifact seems like it could be abused. spam this, supernovas, and quantum towers to get a ton of quantum. then spam the ability over and over again until you have all the quanta conglomerated on  . add firelance.

i think it's perfect for light. it gives it some creature control, but at a cost. if another color wants to access an ability that is usually outside it's element, it's going to have to pay a little more.

you would have to...drop the quanta drain to make room.

I want to keep the drain-all-quanta thing

ok, nevermind.

i think a simple way to balance the card would be to return it to it's owners control if it dies. that way the owner gets a way to earn back the card advantage.

'if the creature is destroyed, instead return it to it's owners control.'

the drawback to that fix would be more text...you would have to increase the cost and drop the quanta drain to make room.

this is quite a novel little card. i initially thought this would be too much life gain, but even if you drop one of these on turns one and then two, you still only have about 35 points of life gain if you sac them all on turn seven. also, because of the randomness of the quanta it generates, it would make it difficult to really abuse that mechanic. i'm certain that this would replace firequeen in FG grinding rainbows, but i would be interesting to see new rainbows with more emphasis on the colors that this generates.

keep up the good work!

maybe u r right, my idea was he being useless unless u combo him with something, if more people think that it should be 1/1 i change it

i'd leave it. we have other useless cards when unupgraded --> shards
and unlike shards, this card is adorable.

i like it, heal cards (SoG) are powerful and it would be nice to have a few cards around to keep them in check.

Dream Catcher / Re: New False God: DreamCatcher

just saw dreamcatcher for the first time.

second turn BE'd deja vu. i had no oty, but a firestorm in hand. got up to four fire before he threw a blackhole at me. got up to four again, but by then he had quinted the deja vu. i had the quanta for firestorm next turn, but there was no point. he was already destroying my pillars one by one with the deja vu and another BE'd micro that wouldn't be killed by the firestorm.

0-1.

looks pretty good. i don't like that this has the exact same stats as an unupped bone dragon. you might want to adjust something so that it's not strictly better.

but then again have an upped tower and this and then youve got plenty of mana, its like super nova but giving you only mana you want then giving you a pillar

again, you assume you will have a tower...when evaluating a card, you can't just look at the scenarios where the cards works well. if this is all you did, you would call all cards overpowered. instead, think of what would really happen if you replaced six of your twelve towers with these. how often would you have a tower in your opening hand?

this seems way overpowered, why carry pillars when you could carry this for much better?

it's not free to play like a pillar, so if you have it in your opening hand with no instant source of quanta you don't get to play it. you are sacrificing consistency for a chance at an early jump in quanta.
