How to Play

A refresh of my original Archer tribal deck (http://www.mtgvault.com/jre47/decks/archers-at-the-ready), now including a trio of sweet Theros block archers.

As before, this deck centers around a little-known but really sweet Archer "lord": Greatbow Doyen. Check him out:

"Other Archer creatures you control get +1/+1.
Whenever an Archer you control deals damage to a creature, that Archer deals that much damage to that creature's controller."

Wowzers. You mean I take a bunch of creatures that specialize in dealing directed damage to other creatures, and every time they do, I get to also deal that damage to the opponent's face? Yeah, seems like it's worth a try.

Many of the Archers here can deal direct damage. Any of them can do the same with Ulvenwald Tracker in the mix. (Pair him with Thornweald Archer for a good evil laugh.) The rest can get boosted by Rancor, Selesnya Charm, and Unflinching Courage (which has the added benefit of lifelinking any damage dealt) to run over the enemy and deal combat damage to the opponent, even if blocked! New addition Bassara Tower Archer is particularly nice to enchant, as she has built-in hexproof.

Other new additions: Reverent Hunter can enter as a big beatstick, and Nylea's Disciple can provide a game-swinging life boost in the mid-to-late game.

What do you think? I believe this tribe has some serious potential, thanks in large part to just a single, brilliantly-designed Lord.
