Quanta Boon

I'm thinking that when you play this spell card, you get 3 quanta of the designated element. What do you guys think of it?

(e.g. When you play this card, you get  )

Reminds me of quanta flash. Insta-quanta gain cards are nothing new. What makes yours special?

[AnonymousRevival]

O yeah, lol, forgot about flashes. Then how about an edifice that costs quanta but produces 2 of it each turn?

Think idea has been done before as well. It also won't be easy to balance.

Indeed.
That being said, this has already been done in the Armory in the form of Quantum Flash. Sorry

Double pillars have not been done yet. However that is not for lack of trying. The major problem was they either could not be used as a basis for a deck's quanta or they replaced pillars.

i strongly support anyone looking into alternate means to generate quanta.  in the past, the major hurdles have been: placing a cost to play on a quanta generator makes it less likely to show up in the opening hand *and* makes it harder to play in the first one or even two turns, making a quanta cost a extremely detrimental mechanism for balancing.  also, it cannot completely overshadow pillars to make it a non-decision as to which card to select when making a deck.

Perhaps a health cost instead of a quanta cost would be good here.
Since health costs tend to promote pacing that is the inverse of quanta costs, it will make such a card easy to play early on (when one has plenty of spare hp) while becoming harder later when a player's few remaining hp are more precious.

E.g. you could make your double pillar and have it drain HP when cast

Doin, Thanks a lot! I was just thinking about this idea again. I was feeling that otherness will produce two quanta each turn but it loses hp as well. Making the user either have to keep on healing or to quickly sure te opponent. Thanks so much man!
