Creature — Elf Archer3 generic manaGreen manaWhite mana

Reach has always solved one problem: ground-bound creatures losing the air war. This Elf takes the defensive premise further by combining a 2/5 frame with the ability to wall two attackers in the same combat. A single body covers a flier and a ground threat, or two ground threats, or absorbs an alpha strike the way a small line of blockers would. That is the design: a creature priced as a five-drop that does the work of a pair of defenders, trading offense it never had for coverage it never runs out of. The toughness is the point. At 5, it survives most early aggression and bounces back to block again the next turn, so the double-block is not a one-time sacrifice but a recurring tax on an attacking board. Where most reach creatures answer a single dimension of an attack, this one flattens the math of going wide: the attacker has to commit more bodies than the defender does to push damage through. It is a green-white control piece in the oldest sense, built before such a creature needed evasion or an activated ability to justify the slot, content to stand in front of things and refuse to die.
