Thanos + Infinity Stone Cards (Feedback Requested)

[Thomas Murrin-Armstrong]

These cards are based on Thanos and the Infinity Stones as they appear in Avengers: Infinity War. The Stones themselves are always revealed while they are in your hand, and they have effects while they are in your hand. This makes them pretty hard to remove conventionally,and as more and more are added to your hand it becomes harder and harder to play against. This comes at the cost of 200 LP per turn for each Infinity Stone you have in your hand, which can start to add up if you don't have Infinity Gauntlet on the field.

Thanos himself is a pretty simple high stats monster that gets stronger for each Infinity Stone you have in your hand, along with some protection if you have Infinity Stones in your hand. He can be equipped with the Infinity Gauntlet, which recycles Infinity Stones that you discard and protecting you from passive LP damage from the Stones. It also has a win condition where if you have Infinity Gauntlet on the field and the 6 Infinity Stones in your hand, you win the duel (I debated requiring the player to snap their fingers to win, but some people can't snap).

This is a really neat idea for a control archtype, It's all quite well thought out I just have 3 pieces of feedback. 

1. with how easy it is to search equip spells and the massive amount of disruption the stones provide you might want to tone it down a bit (like maybe just 1 stone discard effect per turn)

2. on thanos it doesn't specify where you can summon it from (I'm assuming it's the hand) banishing monsters from your graveyard seems like a bit much withe type of deck your trying to make, Because as is thanos would probably see play in most decks aside from this just for being a big free body. I feel like if you were to make the requirements have a revealed infinity stone or two would make it a lot more powerful, and at a much lower risk of just giving other archetypes a free body.

3. the stones don't reveal in your hand

This is honestly one of the coolest and most well executed ideas I've seen here, every part of it is so flavorful and works so well together. with just a bit of tweaking (and a legally distinct name) I could see these being printed in an upcoming set.
