Longbow Archer

Reach in Colors

New 12 Oct 2023 Asked by lover-in-blue-deactivated202404 26 Comments

Was reminded of the card Longbow Archer recently, and I wanted to ask- can white, blue, and black still get reach? Or do you prefer to keep it exclusively in the flying-weak colors for the sake of mechanical distinction?


White is technically tertiary in reach, mostly to flavor archers, but really the three colors with common fliers don’t need reach.

Comma vs Semicolon in Keywords

New 05 Feb 2022 Asked by inzeen-blog 35 Comments

Hey Mark. Can't really find an answer anywhere! Help! If you check the oracle text of Vampire Nighthawk and Longbow Archer, one of them has a comma between keywords and the other has a semicolon between em. Is there a reason for that? It's driving me crazy!


It’s supposed to be a comma. The semicolon is a typo.EDIT: I’m incorrect. Apparently semicolons are used when one of the abilities has reminder text.
