The Moonlace Path... Come for faerie tales have you, girl? The look in yer eyes tells a story all it's own, but... That's a story still being written, I'm sure. Not for an old man like me to hear, but one you'll pass on to young'uns later along the way... Alright, come closer...

The Moon's a strange thing... Comfort and fear, a light in the darkness that touches all things... There's power there, great and terrible, subtle and beautiful. The eye of some unblinking goddess watching us all, for good or ill... That silver shine? That's Moonlace, "Heaven's Silk" they call it in the south lands...

Back in the old days, before the Archons flew, The Moonlace Path was what we called the trading roads down to the south and to the east, but... That's not the truth of the name, is it? No... The Moonlace Path was the road taken by the goddess between the moon and here, a path that only those like the goddess and her ilk could walk, one of shadow and mists between this world, the mortal plane, and... Well, somewhere else, wherever it is that those sorts reside...

...s'not a new story to you, young one, is it? Expecting something new from this old heart? Hm... Come closer then...

...The moon, the lace and the goddess? ...s'all real, see? 'cept that the road ain't one we can see, and passes through a place we daren't begin to imagine, only a place that special sorts can comprehend... And the goddess? Well, she's just a mortal like us, 'cept not. She walks between worlds through that Moonlace Path and collects stories. Stories great and terrible, subtle and beautiful... From places far, far away and back again twice over... And she's not alone, there's others like her, I seen 'em! Them that rends worlds asunder and sews them back together like rags into the finest gowns... Years ago, when I was a young man...

...Look at me, rantin' and ravin' like some half-mad fool... Doesn't matter what I saw now or then, does it? ...What matters is that that's that, the truth of the matter... Once my secret, now ours to share... Now, off to bed with you, 'fore your father notices where you've been, listening to the mad tales of an old Blind Seer like me...

...Goodnight, Young Vela. Dream of walking that path, and perhaps some day you'll walk that Moonlace Path too... For good or ill...

The inspiration for this deck comes from a humble one-drop spell from Time Spiral:

Moonlace

I had a mind to use color change spells to abuse Intimidate via Vela the Night-Clad but then I thought "There are already plenty of spells with no colour... ELDRAZI!"

It's not a unique idea either, others have had it certainly. This is just my take on it. Lots of colourless Eldrazi and a smattering of control.
