I'm playing a Immolation/Nova deck, and I'm using earthquakes .. and believe me.. earthquake is not broken whatsoever .. now look:

1 - even if I use 6 on my deck I will not wait for multiples of 3 pillars to destroy .. If I wait then I'll really over death - so I destroy 1,2 and only 3 in the beginning ... and if get a Earthquake at the middle/end game and I'm be able to destroy 3 it will be too late .. it does nothing to the quantum that the player was getting in the meanwhile ..... so .. the 6x3=18 argument is simply not true ... so the 6 seems too much to put on a deck .. but then again if I don't have 6 of them will not work because I have to be pretty sure about having at least 1 in first hand ... so .. like 3 of them are useful to destroy say 1+2+3=6 or 7 pillars (if lucky) .. and the other 3 are only uselessly occupying deck-slots and are only there for % chances of a somewhat nice hand

2 - the opponent can easily set Enchantment Artifact on a stack of pillars - and is cumulative ! ... the pillars of the same element that come after are untargetable as well ... so ... Earthquake will be completely useless

3 - pillars of different types (even if only 2 different ) will severely ruin any superfast pace earthquakers ...


good tactics - any player can always in the first turn drop only 1 or 2 pillars if he sees a earth-elemental or if he knows that some player are playing with earthquake .. or even if he don't.. and wait 1 turn .. if not destroyed then he can or wait for the necessary quantum to do his game or cumulate non-multiple of 3 in the pile and holding in hand pillars ... holding resources is a tactic very common in other games too ... [when say .. in MTG you are against a white mana deck (because of the Armagedon .. that destroys all lands)]

... holding creatures and shields/weapons was already common .. now we have to think also on holding or not our pillars .. and how many to put in play the necessary for doing the game not less but not exceeding the need to build up .. and is all
