Hawkeye, Avenging Archer

Hawkeye is a damage-dealer with a card draw engine baked in. Your goal is to ping opponents' creatures and draw cards whenever those creatures die, turning small pings into incremental advantage. The deck wants to stay alive while dealing damage to things opponents control—either through direct pings, combat damage, or temporary control effects—then cash in those kills for cards. Once you've built a card advantage lead, you swing in with a growing board or a well-equipped commander to finish games through combat damage.

The core gameplan leans into red and blue's strengths: cheap damage sources (pings, taps, direct spells), card draw, and temporary control elements like theft effects and bounce. You'll run a mix of ping outlets (both repeatable tapped abilities and one-time spells), efficient creatures that generate value, and equipment to make Hawkeye and other threats deadlier. Plan cards from the new set synergize well here—they reward you for incremental damage and draw triggers.
