Rationale: scramble destroying 9 quanta if player is sabbathed seems like a bug

Would drop cost to 2/1 with this change. Change being to not have sabbath interact with scramble

Open to any thoughts

I personally like the mechanic, but do find it unfortunate that it relegates Sabbath to scramble combos in terms of being able to buff it in its current form

It occurs to me you could probably fix my entire problem with it by changing discord's card text to say something like "on hit, opponent loses x random quanta, then gains x random quanta"

Also we can add "when opponent gains quanta, chance of (effect)" cards

I don't like the effect of scramble + sabbath, it can get pretty nasty in the upgraded meta where the quanta is more abundant and can be chained in early game.

I'm fine if you drop this mechanic and make Sabbath a bit cheaper.

We aren't going to buff Sabbath's cost because of this deck

But the deck is bullshit. CG & I did some testing, you pretty much have to play Dream Catcher or Sanctuary to counter this

2324 serprex Really wish I had BH healing me
2324 cg i got a really strong start and still only won by one turn
2324 cg oh you know what it is
2324 cg sabbath is a two turn denial
2324 cg bh is a one turn denial
2324 cg sabbath clears my quanta and *then* stops me from getting my next turn's quanta
2324 serprex Forgot about the whole sabbath effect
2324 cg that's the difference
2324 cg so did i
2325 cg yeah now i'm sold, kill it
2325 cg can kill it after league if you want, i'm fine with that
2325 serprex Fine with killing it now rather than after OL? I am
2325 cg more data is good data
2325 cg now is fine too, no problem
2325 cg you're the only one using it
2326 cg and i'm pretty sure we just established it's bullshit, so it can go
2326 serprex That we can argue that the only deck to ever beat this super op deck was monolife
2326 cg monolife with a little bit more quanta than i'd normally use that got a really strong and fast start and still barely won
