Miracle + Shard of Readiness is an issue too.
True.

Solution: Permanents cannot be targeted by SoR

Yeah, having this become a permanent is the best solution imo.

it clearly says in the notes that shards cannot be chosen. being to powerful with SOR is therefore a moot point.
edit: nvm, i misunderstood what everyone was saying.

No, what everybody is saying is that use this on miracle or fractal.  Then you use sor on the creature.  The creature now has fractal/miracle for free, and can use every turn.

Would they still drain quanta?

Yes. However draining all 0 :light of 0 :light would still count as draining.

i have an idea. instead of not working on shards, it could not work on rares at all. this gets rid of most OP combos, while still leaving an interesting card.

Option 1: Ban spell after spell until no broken combos remain.
Option 2: Alter the card so none of the broken combos remain broken while still permitting any spell.

Can you see why option 2 is more valuable than option 1?

Again, just increase cost and give the creature quint or something as well, can't target a quinted creature with SoR.

Immaterial is an overused balance mechanic. There are plenty of other mechanics that could be used instead. The problem is SoR. SoR affects target creature. Instead of exploiting the overused immaterial to foil the target, why not change it to affecting permanents to foil SoR?
