ART:

IDEA:

NOTES:
This card is for Eternal Phoenix
For this competition i have assumed that the card can be obtained by players and included in their decks up to 6 times and balanced my submission accordingly.
This card fits EP nicely because more space in hand leads to more effective fractals. EP can definitely make use out of 1 copy because he has a small 30 card deck. I have no idea how AI decides on how to play cards but i would like the ai no not play this card ASAP if fractal is in hand and instead wait until fractal would be played then play all copies of this card in hand.
Once max hand size of 10 is achieved this card can still be played for no effect (still costs quanta).
if opponent has sanctuary their hand size stays unaffected.
For balance this card can justify a low cost because like SoB it applies its affect to the opponent as well. It would see some play in players decks because of its synergy with the aforementioned SoB with decks that play SoB. Increased hand size is a benefit for a range of decks; Fractal Decks, Combo decks, SoSe decks and stall decks. Firestall is possibly the deck that gains the most advantage out of it but it is not OP because it only becomes Helpful after the stall has stabilized and is accumulating bolts for an OTK.

I'm gonna assume this means if you have a Sanctuary your hand size won't be altered either. In this case, the only Firestall than can benefit from this is one with SoG instead of Sanctuary. On that note, any stall with Sancs can't really use this well either.

Other than that, it's an OK card. Eternal Phoenix could use this well, and it's balanced enough for a regular player to use; though it's kind of a niche card.

Sanctuary only stops your hand, in this case hand size, being altered when its not your turn. Owning a Sanct in play does not stop you from increasing your own hand size.

As to it not being particually strong i did originally have upped as +2 hand space for 2 quanta and unupped as +2 hand space for 3 quanta but i felt that made the upped version too strong as it could be played from 1 SN
