Planned this archetype entirely around this card.

Archetype is pretty incomplete though and lacks names as well as using my design shorthand. Any suggestion for name theme (or even a change to type/Attribute to go with a theme) would be really helpful!

There's also the fact that I didn't exactly think about how these would play irl. This is meant to be a control deck with a constant cycling mix of resources that play out of the GY while explicitly caring about being banished. However, I haven't thought enough on whether they'd be able to get that point.. I might need to add some more play starters or something?

Definitely needs some more tweaking. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
