Fae are getting hated on!
         Has everyone seen the barrage of faerie hate in the new set. Aside from the volcanic fallout spell there's...
        
        Scattershot Archer
        Common
        G
        Elf Archer
        tap: ~this~ does 1 damage to each flying creature
        1/2
        
        and
        
        Cumber Stone
        Uncommon
        U3
        Artifact
        Creatures your opponents control get -1/-0
        
        The archer comes out before counter, is reusable and has a relevant creature type (elf). The artifact is good versus fae and kithkin alike!
        
        Thoughts?

         Yeah, the archer looks tits. It can be splashed into every deck with the super tap for all colors lands available in standard. Cumberstone is just a blue reprint of weakstone. I think it sucks. I just build up faeries until i get a lethal amount, then cryptic.

         True, but this is assuming that the other player is doing nothing while you build your fairie horde.

         Well, having piloting faeries a bit myself your opponent does tend to do nothing or at least nothing that resolves. I think it will be better against kithin or red deck wins or something, but over all i don't think it is playable. Unless Tezzy makes it a creature.

         I like the elf quite a bit though.

         you gave me an archer deck for the last Haloween tournament. They went nicely with the time walk and fog themes.

         I think it made up for getting the unbeatable angel deck.

         The Time Walk and the Time Vault also helped to ease the pain.
