Card Ideas and Art / Re: Shard | Shard of Openness

As you mage it a permanent and not a spell I understood it's a bit more than just a two-sided precognition. If I'm right, you meant that the effect should last, then I would write: "Both players reveal their hands while this card is in play.".

For the "two-sided precognition", I was referring to the effect, not to the length. I was basing the text on the other permanents that give an effect, such as eclipse. Most cards use per turn, but I only noticed one card that used "while this card is in play". I'll change it, since I didn't take into account the differences between per turn and a card that doesn't use it, such as eclipse.

5 quantum is too much for this shard.

Then what cost would be suitable for this card? I'd like some feedback.

I feel that 5 quantum is justified, since you can see the opponent's hand, even if he can see yours. I did consider 4 quantum for a while.

NAME: Shard ELEMENT: Other COST: 1 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: ABILITY: It looks like a crystal shard. It seems to be useless, but it might be upgradable.	NAME: Shard of Openness ELEMENT: Other COST: 4 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: ABILITY: Both players reveal their hands while this card is in play.

ART: Zanzarino and Scaredgirl IDEA: Therealtahu NOTES: The first thing that came to mind when I thought of openness. This is basically a two-sided precognition. With this card, you can plan ahead but so can your opponent. I'm not too sure about the cost though, it seems a bit powerful for only 5 quanta, even with the downside. This is an entry into the Shard Madness Competition. Modifications: Lowered cost from 5 to 4. Added "while this card is in play" to the end of the ability description. SERIES:
