I find hilarious the lengths the DotP AI goes to protect this card. Even on highest difficulty, Elspeth will drop a Holy Day to protect the moth from dying to a 1/1 attacking alone.
Here's hoping the group of new players who learned to play with DotP aren't influenced by this...
(note that i never said this was a bad card. my point is that the ai overvalues it and the result is funny.)

This card is pretty decent. At face value it seems pretty weak and there seems to be a lot better. But this has more going for it than at first glance. There are some pretty creative combos you could dish out if you get clever enough. I found this out when I chump blocked with two of these and cast Holy Day. (I was also being attacked by other creatures)
Decent card. Has potential. 3/5

This card combos nicely with Cradle of Vitality. Block, pay two mana, then have your 4/5 moth save the day.

Lots of fun with a Swarmyard.

Probably my favorite card in Magic: The Gathering. It's cheap, useful and forces your opponent to make early decisions. Swing and give you four life? Waste a lightning bolt on it? Also great when carrying a Sunforger.

Similar to Pride Guardian. It's better in that it has flying and it gains you one more life, but Pride Guardian is better in that it has some chance of blocking more than once and also has a vaguely relevant creature type.

I remember when I first started playing I used two Giant Growths with this guy to kill a Yavimaya Wurm, and still get my 4 life. Good times.

Built an aura deck around this little guy. Exciting is hitting your opponent with a 48/48 vigilant, indestructible, hexproof, trample and lifelink Moth that's been there since turn 1.

One time, I gave my brother's Goldenglow Moth a Lust for War. The poor guy...
