ClockworkSwordfish on Pride of Double Strike

Pretty neat idea. One thing I like to take advantage of with double strike is capitalizing on effects that trigger every time a creature deals combat damage - which, with double strike, means twice with every attack. For instance, if your hit your opponent with a double striker equipped with Prying Blade , you'll get two treasure tokens out of the deal. That definitely sounds more attractive to me than the one extra power from Marauder's Axe! Likewise, a Beacon Hawk with double strike can untap two of your creatures.

Soltari Visionary is a card I recommend to most white pauper decks, since he's virtually unblockable and can repeatedly take out your opponent's permanents for free. There are no shortage of enchantment-based decks in pauper, as your deck helps illustrate! You might also appreciate Cavalry Drillmaster , as +2 power and double strike for cheap can be a real surprise before you attack.

Hi JessT! It looks like Armadillo Cloak isn't modern legal!

I might consider consolidating some of your creatures and instead of having two of a bunch of different creatures, choose a few that you'd really like to see come out in a game and give yourself 3 or 4 of them.

I might also think about adding some more cards with a CMC, so that you have a better chance of being able to throw something out there on your first turn.

A cool thing you could possibly do with Pheres-Band Raiders and Pheres-Band Tromper is use cards like Beacon Hawk, Act of Heroism, Aim High, Djeru's Resolve, Gift of Growth, Ornamental Courage, or Prepare to untap them after they've attacked and activate their abilities.

I'm also worried about Pheres-Band Warchief being in there, because if it's out on the battlefield, cards like Pheres-Band Raiders and Pheres-Band Tromper will have vigilance, and thus not tap when they attack and not be able to activate their untap abilities.

I hope some of this is useful!

Soul Link

Beacon Hawk

Sandskin

Please link the cards related to your question.

If Beacon Hawk were to be unblocked, all damage would be prevented by Sandskin. The hawk would not deal combat damage, so it's untap ability would not trigger. Since no damage is being dealt, Soul Link would also gain you no life.
