Seems a tad expensive, I could only see someone that already has every card they want and hordes of electrum to use actually playing this. ....It's definitely a somewhat new idea but, well. ....Why would anyone want to SPEND Electrum on a match, and more than they'll get even if they win to boot.

Couple things, first with the table. Instead of Any Quanta X5, just put 5.
And you should leave the fields that have **words like this** blank if you're not putting anything there.

On to the card.
Does seem expensive, the ability that is. I'm pretty sure that even if you got an Elemental Master win that you probably wouldn't get you money back, you'd lose it.
I'm also not sure if that's codable...
Interesting idea though!

If it isn't I'll just change it to Quanta instead.

Anyway, the point really isn't made for getting money back. This is mainly a card for those who horde electrums and stuffs. The real practical uses is in a tourny really IMO.

Point taken. I like the idea quite a bit actually, I'm just not sure how practical it'll be.

However, in a tourney, with people who have plenty of money, it does seem like it could be pretty devastating.
Does it do any regular damage per turn, like a weapon? Is it a weapon? Or just a permanent?

Just a permanent. Although it could be a weapon for balance issues of having 6 cannons out at once.

Idea of using electrum as a mechanic during duels=instant no in my book.

Again, this is more of a lulzy idea. It's not for a practical use because of it's cost. Unless you hoard up several thousand electrums, you will never be able to effectively use them.

Then why even introduce such a card idea? All this does is not inspire people to create more original or new decks, but just teach people that whoever has more wins a duel.

I find that it does. A deck possibly based on a nerfed version of the quanta cannon could be used as an effective nuker in terms of spell damage and creature killing. In terms of the Electrum weaponary idea, it's not very profitable to use it in the first place (Using it regularly will put you in the hole a couple thousand a math), but when you can, it is an efficient item to kill things with. Also, it's usually the person who has more electrums and rares that wins a duel. You don't see people with the starter exactly beat a fully upgraded rainbow do you?

[oblivion1212]

yeah, pretty neutral on the cost..

on another point, do you really want 2 different active abilities? seems pretty weird to me.. you know, about picking which one to activate...

Most duels sure, are based on money, but at least both players have roughly an even chance, and an unupgraded deck can do as well as an upped one. Your card just allows quantaless CC and high damage. Sure, it's not very profitable, but it'll be used to troll people in PvP a lot.
