Legolas, Master Archer

Archer Tribal Update: The Lord of the Rings

Update (The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth):

Legolas, Master Archer is a great addition to our deck. His last ability has great synergy with target removal spells, as whenever we cast a spell that targets an enemy creature, he deals damage equal to his power to up to one target creature (works great with our deathtouch strategy as he is a potential hidden pinger). His other ability gives him a +1/+1 counter whenever we cast a spell that targets him. Fight variants can trigger both abilities at once and we can gain maximum value.

Femeref Archers is a nice card, but it targets only target attacking creature with flying, which is much more limiting.

Legolas Greenleaf has build-in evasion from creatures with power 2 or less and whenever he deals combat damage to a player we draw a card. Those two combined with our death pinger strategy that can remove big threats, may prove useful to let us sneak through the enemy defences and draw some cards. In addition on legendary EtB under our control, he gets a +1/+1 counter which is a nice bonus. He can also trigger Ohabi Caleria and he is an elf so we have extra synergy with Elvish Guidance

Collective Unconscious is a classic card draw for creature-heavy decks and it is not worse than Legolas Greenleaf but just different. I’d try Legolas Greenleaf over Collective Unconscious mostly because of the deck flavor and synergy.

Updates are live in the featured Archer Tribal deck.
