Clockwork Creeper: Twitching Doll
Twitching Doll arrives as an odd tool for midrange decks that like to trade resources and set tempo. The Extended Art frames the doll with Duskmourn atmosphere so the piece sits well in a collector sleeve and in an artifact based build. As a practical play, Twitching Doll taxes opponents while offering a steady board presence you can deploy early and keep around to pressure planeswalkers or block evasive threats.
The card works best where incremental advantage matters. It triggers on entry to disrupt a hand and then turns that disruption into value over subsequent turns. The little bit of lore ties the doll to house whispers and restless mechanisms that watch corridors; mechanically it rewards patient sequencing and careful casting. Players who enjoy attrition and attrition adjacent strategies will find it situationally powerful and surprisingly consistent.
