Weekly Tournament - January 31st - Quantum Index - Unupgraded

[dawn to dusk]

im curious as to how permanent shields effect it, i mean you wouldnt be paying more than once unless PC is used...

[montrossen]

Pretty sure I'll join. Cool way to get people to use QI, I use it quite a bit and it's very helpful

After some discussion, we've decided to ban all cards which affect your opponent's quanta. So Discord, Black Hole, Amber Nymph, Earthquake and Trident are added to the Ban list.

Oh, and we missed Solar shield as well. New banlist:

Luciferin, solar shield, rustler, soul catcher, and dry spell don't affect your opponent's quanta so I don't understand why they're banned due to affecting your opponent's quanta.

[Zawadx]

They affect your own quanta, and create complexities in quanta balance. So we banned them for simplicity.

So the ban list above is cards that create complexities in quanta balance. So why isnt damselfly and gnome rider banned as well?

Because they're pillars as far as QI is concerned.
Pillars with a quanta cost.

[CrockettRocket]

Why doesn't the QI consider rustler a pillar?

[Espithel]

Because rustler doesn't generate quanta on its own - it has an ability that costs quanta, to generate quanta.

No! thats at least 75% of the decks I've made down the drain. 

Oh well, time to start making new decks.

Do we consider the quanta "drain" for Miracle, Sky Blitz and Fractal?
