Webstrike Elite is a great addition to our Archer Tribal as it acts as an Artifact/Enchantment removal at instant speed if we pay the Cycling cost. With great stats for its mana cost and Reach it is also a powerful creature for early game.
Dromoka’s Command gets cut because it is more generic and it is less good as a removal, even if its flexibility still makes it a great alternative.
Although Hankyu seems too slow at first, it has great synergy with Ohabi Caleria and it can become a consistent way to deal ping damage to target creature or even store multiple aim counters to deal a respectable amount of damage to player.
Pathway Arrows gets cut because although it seems cheaper, it needs us to pay 
for tapping, which makes it far more expensive than it seems and it can target only creatures.
Tadeas, Juniper Ascendant is ideal for Archer Tribal as many archers have Reach. In addition it offers untap synergy paired with evasion and on top of that it converts combat damage to a player from our creatures to card draw. He even has self-protection (Hexproof) unless he is attacking. A top utility card for our build.
Heavy Arbalest is too … heavy (in mana cost) so it gets cut.
Mirror Entity is a great finisher for most Tribal decks. Our Archer Tribal needed more finishers, so it seems a great choice.
Aven Archer is way too mana greedy so it gets cut.
Harsh Mercy works greatly against non-Tribal decks as it almost becomes a one-sided board wipe, while it has almost no effect against creature Tribal decks.
Arrow Volley Trap is too situational so it gets cut.
Vivien Reid is a Planeswalker that greatly fits Archer Tribal. She is flexible, as she can be used as a creature/land tutor at +1, as a target removal at -3 and she has a very strong Ultimate ability, buffing our creatures with +2/+2, Vigilance, Trample and Indestructible. Even the fact that she will eventually lure players to attack (her) may prove very useful in our build as we use many abilities that may trigger on attacking or blocking.
Vivien’s Arkbow gets cut but is still a nice alternative as a tutor, but Vivien Reid is more flexible and she has higher synergy with our build.
