Bitterbow Sharpshooters

Creature — Jackal Archer4 generic manaGreen mana

The keyword pair is the whole design: vigilance and reach are chosen so a single body can hold both ends of the board at once. It attacks for four without tapping out of blocking duty, and it reaches up to answer the air war that ground creatures normally cede. That means a defensive green deck never has to spend its top-of-curve slot deciding between pressure and defense; the same permanent that pushes damage is still home to eat a flier or trade with a trampling threat on the swing back. This is the durable filler that keeps a stalled board from tipping, the 4/4 that punishes an opponent for committing to the skies while it quietly grinds the game forward on the ground. It asks for no build-around, feeds no sacrifice loop, and rewards no clever sequencing beyond casting it while the game is still contestable. What it offers is a body that refuses to choose, which for a creature at this rate is exactly the point: plain, sturdy, and precisely as deep as it reads.
