Awhile ago Majofa made a good post in Nerf/Buff over at elementscommunity
tl;dr have Photon generate
on play
The only downside is that it violates a basic idea in openEtG: Unupgraded cards never generate quanta on the first turn
My opinion is that Nova has not been too impacted by this; CG disagrees, but whatever, he's not posting this thread
The card which has been wrecked by this no-T1-plays concept is Immolation. Immolation may currently only be viable in Fractix. It's kind of dumb for an unupgraded card to only work once one's at least semi upped
Also SoBr. But I'm pretty sure turn-late nerfed-SoBr immorush isn't anything to write home about
Also rico. But we're not talking about cheesy combos
Should Immo/Cremation give 9 quanta?
I'll get back on topic: If we were to implement majofa's suggestion & let humble Photon be the one card that breaks the no-T1-plays rule, it'd enable Immo decks to have T1 plays. Other option is to say "1 cost immo was a mistake" & make it free. Which isn't a mutually exclusive option
Side note: should producing Photon count towards Hope?
Buffed Photon would open up potential for free-skelly since Skelly-RT is about same strength (weaker) as Photon-Mutate & with Fate Egg buffs Free-Skelly-RT isn't actually better than plain Fate Egg
