Best fit Flexible / archetype-specific How to use it Use Thanos in Flexible / archetype-specific shells where its text or stat line advances the deck's main plan instead of forcing a standalone include. Common mistake The common mistake is jamming Thanos into decks that do not naturally support its role; the card gets much better when the surrounding deck already wants this effect. Token advice Reserved token advice: skip or wait unless this card is essential to a deck you already enjoy. Source: 24 linked ItsGuestGaming article mention(s) found.
