Hollow-Eyes Archetype

[Dogga]

All of the artwork is none of my own, and was obtain through google image searches.

I know there is a lot of text, I am sorry for that, but trust me I bet you'll like them.

This archetype has been over a week in the making of designing and testing. Would love to hear your thoughts and hope you enjoy my idea (all criticism is accepted). You will find a lot of the effects are based on ideas for a Branded Ritual style deck. For a look into what this deck could do, you can see the Dueling Book replay at the end of post.
