Character Background
Basking Broodscale reads like a small Eldrazi that wants to both apply early pressure and grind incremental advantage: a cheap 2/2 that can adapt to grow and, whenever it gets counters, spits out a sacrificial Eldrazi Spawn for ramp or combo fuel. Its best game plan is tempo/value—play early, force trades with a growing body, and convert every growth event into disposable colorless mana to accelerate bigger plays or enable sacrifice synergies. Deckbuilding tip: pair it with +1/+1 counter enablers like Hardened Scales or Winding Constrictor so your single adapt does more, and with Anointed Procession to double Spawn output; include cheap sacrifice outlets (Altar of Dementia, Carrion Feeder) or colorless payoffs (big Eldrazi or Matter Reshaper-style threats) to turn tokens into tempo or card advantage. Remember that Devoid makes it colorless for interaction—so it hits Eldrazi synergies but won’t count as green for color-dependent effects—so treat it as a green-costed, colorless-value engine.
