IDEA:
teffy
NOTES:
see below
SERIES:
no
Idea of the card concept:
This + Dissipation Field: A way to drain quanta from Rainbow decks, especially Nova decks.
This + Death: Maybe ways to kill your own swarmed creatures and get advantages from that.
This + SoSac: Maybe a counter to the card.
This + future cards, because it could introduce new game mechanics. Shields or cards, which are only good on opponent´s side.

Idea of Art:
I´m not an artist. This is one of the most simple arts I could find, using SGs links.

Question I have:
Is Light a good element for this ? A gift is light related, but the mechanic is kind of mean, so "Gift of Devil" could be better.  Other possible elements are Fire and Darkness.
How balanced is it, or is it too weak ? Too strong ? Should it also give weapons to your opponent ? Discord could be a candidate. Should it also "overplay" opponent´s shield ?
Should upgraded and unupgraded card be different this way ?

Could another card name be better ?

Meh, I came up with a similar idea a while ago:



I didn't post it because it's essentially far too situational. Yours is even more so; mine can destroy permanents, but yours is near-useless.

This (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=30838.0) card does a much better job of it; I was thinking of resubmitting that as a Light card to get it into the Crucible, because it's a good concept. It's just that when limited to permanents (or indeed shields), it is too situational.

I was even considering "Give the target card to your opponent", such that it works on any card on the field or in your hand.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
