Entry 6: An Unexpected Entrant ~ It sours through currents of moonbeams to give hope to the forsaken ~
This left me in quite the predicament. As I’ve said before, I don’t really have a plan for this deck. This process is intended to be as organic as possible. With both my original choice and my back up choice being unavailable, I wasn’t sure if I would make an addition this week. Then it caught my eye. Sitting in the back of the glass counter was a card that I had unfairly forgotten throughout 2020, but now, in my time of need, it swooped in to save me.
On initial inspection, there’s plenty of ways for the deck to currently work with the Broodmoth. The deck has a handful of enters the battlefield triggers and Livio, Oathsworn Sentinel can even reset the flying counters. What’s so radical about this addition? As it currently stands, the deck doesn’t have any sac outlets which means I’m relying on my opponents to remove creatures other than my Broodmoth to get triggers. That's not a particularly likely proposition.
In a way, this feels different than my previous additions. It feels like the Broodmoth found its way to me rather than me finding it. It’s reminiscent of the way deck building used to be. The act of perusing someone’s binder, and finding something new or unusual to try out in your brew. That’s precisely what this project was about — throwing away those best laid plans for something different, unplanned, and unexpected. I didn't walk into my local game store planning to walk out with a Luminous Broodmoth, but I'm more than happy i did.
