The Thread archetype are all FIRE Machine-Types, and is designed to be played while you are at 1000 Life Points or less. Saying that, this already puts you at a huge disadvantage, but these cards are also made to be high return, so if you think these cards are OP'd, there's a reason for that.

These cards actually seem quite balanced. BUT, i would make Intentional Emergency make you recive half the Life points you paid, just to make it a bit fairer. Also the exceed monster sais that you gain life point equal to the difference in life points. The difference in life points to what?

To answer to suggestion, may I point out the card "Phantom Hand" which allows you to remove your entire hand form play until the End Phase. That's not broken, and neither is Intentional Emergency. To answer your question, you gain LP equal to the differnce in both players' LP.
