uncommon Legendary Creature — Human Archer

Rewards the plan

Why it works in Draw Two

This deck's gold uncommon puts a +1/+1 counter on target creature whenever you draw your second card each turn, and that creature gains until end of turn. Each extra draw grows one creature for good, and the 1/3 body with holds off early .

How to play it

Time the second draw. One before combat (Patient Instructor, Plunder) puts the counter and on an attacker, and Plunder's on their turn gives a blocker lifelink. Counters belong on creatures that keep connecting, such as and Bilbo, Luckwearer.
