Is Earthbind still a red ability?  Green has gotten Squall Line, Hurricane, Trophy Hunter and Elvish Skysweepers in recent memory.

Granted, it was printed in the "nostalgia" block, but red got Goblin Skycutter in Time Spiral.  That said, this execution does feel green to me.  I'm not sure what to do about it right now, though.

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

Red also got Hammerheim Deadeye.  This might be fine.  Alternately you might want to consider a R/G hybrid (3 r/g or 2 r/g r/g) since there are no red archers...

'Archer' isn't a color-defined class like Shaman/Cleric/Wizard. Why shouldn't dwarves know how to fire at the sky?

Is a crossbowman classed as "archer" in magic? That's about the only way a dwarf will get an arrow high enough to do two damage.

Why do you say that? Dwarves have catapults already.

Catapults hardly make them 'archers'. Besiegers?

If they can make a catapult, they can make a crossbow.

I've got this mental image of a dwarf with a crossbow being launched from a catapult, just to get high enough to fire the bolt, then grab onto the target and pull them to the ground.

That MaRo had the audacity to taint the good name of the Rakdos by including a justification for HoFLong in their article.

And a little parachute strapped on his back!!
You know Wizards should just give that text to the artists just to see what the hell they make of it! Very Happy
