Elements. Fantasy cards game

I have been stealing dimensional shields and letting the AI steal mines for 20 minutes but it seems to work fine.

I'm uncertain what it was, maybe the AI used a card to reclaim it -- but I was pretty sure it didn't, as it was neither black or fire. Whatever happened though, it ended up with a quantum shield again while the one I stole was simply gone. Maybe it just did something unexpected, and the history of cards played would have shown what happened.

The only other detail that might change things is that I had a fire shield in place for a number of turns before I stole the dimensional shield. So it went: Enemy played dimensional shield. I stole dimensional shield, lost my fire shield. Enemy suddenly had dimensional shield back, I had no shield.

The mulligan is in the "to do" list, even though I am not sure how to make it work... pillars might be not necessary in the future, as other cards can be played without quantums or are quantum producers.
Giving a mulligan option to players that use pillars as quantum source might be unfair to players that (not now, in the future) will not.

Ideally, the mulligan option will be viable for anyone to use to reshuffle their hand - put in a penalty when you use it so you only want to do it if you have a really bad start and are willing to start off at a disadvantage, and leave it open to everyone no matter their hand composition on the first turn.

Also, that is why your mark is there, even without pillars, you have a minimal source of quantums anyway. I do understand however that it is annoying being forced to get rid of a good card during the first turn. I'll find a solution.

The mark is extremely slow, and doesn't really help with multicolor decks if you start with nothing at all. But the big problem was indeed the forced initial discard.

Also, you might give some thought to blunting the bonus for going first. Right now it's nothing but advantage - you get the same card counts, same essence, same everything available to you if you go first as if you go second. There's no bonus at all to going second to compensate for your opponent getting a chance to get creatures out and ready to act on their turn before you ever get a chance to take action.
