My personal favourites:

Quanta Seal (Chroma Permanent)
Ghost Ship, Hydra, Leech (Death Creatures)
Fragility (Death Spell)
Mud Golem (Earth Creature)
King Slime (Gravity Creature)
Magnetism (Gravity Spell)
Dodo (Life Creature)
Archerfish (Water Creature)
Sunken Idol (Water Permanent)
Cascade (Water Spell) (although this has "OTK abuse" written all over it)
Time Flies (Time Creature)

[serprex]

blindness - interesting idea, useless vs ai without drastic ai changes tho
grounding - bit op in element with dims, otherwise would be useful if spell damage was a problem in meta, but it isn't
nimbus - interesting, would need a lot of testing to find right numbers
timebolt - kinda wish this is what we had in Time instead of Time Terror
king blob - potential
pendular leprose - busted titan
fragility - been itching to add this effect for years, can't combo with voodoo

[Turlututu]

Fragility-but-no-Voodoo-(or-Martyr)-combo: Target creature becomes Frail (it dies if it receives damage)

[Hitei]

Thanks for the feedback, I'm happy to announce that I managed to complete my goal of adding at least 1 entry for each element and type. moreover even if the card is listed with stats, it doesn't mean they are final, they are just a suggestion of how I think the card would work with based on other cards I have seen.

Too bad, there's no an easy way for reply to cards and their effects in a forum (its not like a wiki with commentaries). but let's give some answers.

Serprex:

Blindness indeed can't be properly affect the ai, unless it gives a "chance" to cast a card at random that it has quanta to pay for (like the original ai used to be?)

Grounding: The original idea was an attack that could affect burrowed creatures, but then it came to be like that, I suppose that thematically could fall on Earth element as well, not that spell damage needs a hard counter, more so with reflective shields already in the game.

The pendular leprose is easy to fix by making it not being able to target weapon cards (so no titans) you can still use gravity dragons, albeit a bit slower.

For fragility the thing we like is "reducing HP" and while Turlututu's text is indeed very functional (and solves the problem with voodoo) if we want mechanically to really set the hp to 1 while avoiding the voodoo. there's a few alternatives (not as cool as Turlututu's wording but...)

- Can't target Nocturnal creatures (avoids voodoo, but weakens the card overall by reducing the effective targets)
- "Cancel the creature passives for a turn, then set their hp to 1." this wording should be able to ignore the voodoo doll passive for the turn so it doesn't kicks in. the problem is that it would also cancel the martyr's effect too, Still, it would be useful against creatures with 1 toughness as it can cancel their passives (example fragility to a RoL would cancel their quanta generation.

- The ugly "can't target voodoo cards" clause would omit the voodoo altogether, however as there's only 2 voodoo related cards and only the doll has the voodoo name, everyone would know the wording is clunky.

Turlututu:

Glad you liked it, what kind of abuse have you thought for cascade? I'm curious to see what would you come up for it.

[Turlututu]

New cards I like:

Twiceratops
Recollection
Misfortune (assuming it stacks, i.e misfortunex2 = 10%)

Why Cascade is broken:

Since the effect is non-random, it is trivial to build your deck so that you know exactly what cards you will get and in what order.
This gives any deck a major boost in consistency, with OTK and combo decks benefitting the most (since consistently getting their key cards is all they care about).
OTK decks in particular already use many expensive singletons: Fractal, Sky Blitz, Parallel Universe, Chimera and random dragons are all recurring OTK cards. So it's extremely easy for those decks to splash in Cascade.

For example, Cascade would get you:
- Fractal+Sky Blitz+Chimera in a generic fractal OTK
- Parallel Universe+Lemming+Writ of Vengeance in Spinfinite
- Dragon+Parallel Universe+Sky Blitz in oInstosis
- Etc.

Add some card draw and you are good to go.

Twiceratops is interesting... First, get some ricochets into play. Clear your opponent's creatures with a thrown rock or two. Next play twiceratops and pour on the chaos power. Alternatively, nightshade being a +10|+10 could make a major rush as a duo, even without ricochet to gazzilionicate it. Splashing in would still be tempting. +0|+40 per BB will make these great ammo for earth/gravity catapult decks. Could also be a core for a rainbow buff extravaganza. Pile on the blessings/momentums/nightshade, eat a rage potion for +12/-12, twin universe to get three twiceratops, and probably OTK so as to not worry about unsummon. As worded, antimatter will do two sign inversions, canceling itself out.

Let's do some math here. 3(base stat) + 2 blessings (+6 each) = 15, + 1 nightshade = 25, + 1 momentum = 27, + 1 rage pot = 39, PU double-copies = 117 damage. With 7 cards, that's a reasonable OTK deck, though I'm sure somebody more dedicated to perfection can optimise a variation of this. Nightshade+PU+chimera+draft+sky blitz (fuelled by equalise) might be a good route to explore.

Question: Do the doubled effects apply at the same time or sequentially? As in, does draft net +6|+0 and add airborne or +3|-3 and no airborne? Does a jetstream grant airborne and +3|-1 on the first useage or airborne twice?

[Hitei]

as I don't know how the code operates in the game, my guess is that if it's implemented, it will be sequentially, otherwise I'm not sure if you would get two twiceratops with an unsummon. while the twiceratops I suggested would be "at the same time" as ideas goes, is not set in stone (plus there could be balance reasons I don't know about).

too bad, it's the only dinosaur card there, while there are possible alternatives like the TurboRaptor or the Tessaurus Rex, they wouldn't be probably as interesting as this little fella.

Edit to your questions.

Draft would give it +3/-3 and no airborne which is what people would expect it to do.
and with Jetstream it would get on the first activation +3/-1 plus airborne, and on consecutive activations would net +6/-2.

Edit 2: Dragontom graciously suggested another possible take on Diffusion:

2  permanent. 1 : If target creature's HP is bigger than its attack, it gets -1|+1. otherwise, if it is smaller, it gets +1|-1. Increase all numbers on this ability by 1.

Edit: Concerning the new addition of Power leech, the idea was a creature that could steal "power" to generate chaos seed (or upgraded version) on the owner hand, I envisioned the creature like a kind of hybrid between the parasite and shadling (and that's why the stats are similar)

However, if instead of "hurting" the opponent creatures to steal their hp, I also thought of a possibility where the creature "damages itself" to give you the cards, in which case it would be a medium or big creature in cost (like 6 for a 4/15) and by entering play with "purification counters" it can "regenerate" the hp part of the cost of activating it's skill (not so for the strength part but that's the risky aspect).

Edit 2: From feedback obtained on the discord I got suggestions from the Claysmith to change it. as follows "if at least 1  quanta was paid create..." and regarding "stacked permanents" it only gets 1 stack (so if you pick pillars or similar you only get 1 pillar that lasts for 1 turn.

Edit 3: For Lightning emperor suggestion, a possibility could be switching the elements around (aka being an aether creature) and the unupped could be dealing 3 damage (spark throwing) while the upgraded could throw lightnings.
