WIP

This deck is a test in how 'budget' I could go and still be competitive in my regular pod - the original list was under £5 (might make cuts after playing to get back to that level). All my decks have a movie theme this one is a take on 500 Days of summer, bonus point if you got that from the name. The quote nods to my budget restriction and Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn playstyle is ideal for the movie's theme of love/loss resulting in personal growth.
