Dragon Sniper — Precision from the Canopy
Dragon Sniper is a compact tool for green decks that value incremental advantage and efficient answers. The card is a one mana green 1 1 with vigilance, reach, and deathtouch, which reads as a tight package of offense and deterrence. It holds the line in combat, blocks flyers while still attacking without tapping, and forces trades that slow down larger creatures. Play it early to shape combat math and tax ground removal in midgame turns.
In Tarkir lore this archer kept the Abzan hunting grounds secure by turning dragon riders into cautionary tales. The card’s printed abilities map directly to that role and make it a reliable inclusion in token, value creature, or tempo builds that want a resilient one drop. Add Dragon Sniper to your deck when you need a low cost piece that influences both air and ground combat. Consider it a small but consistent answer that stabilizes the early battlefield.
