Hanweir Watchkeep

Creature — Human Warrior Werewolf

Defender

At the beginning of each upkeep, if no spells were cast last turn, transform Hanweir Watchkeep.

I think for the substitutions you want to make, you should look into removing some of the Werewolves that don't really do much more than transform. Like Harvesttide Infiltrator  Flip, Hanweir Watchkeep  Flip, and Bird Admirer  Flip. They don't offer much more than just being Werewolves, and the others at least offer some effects.

A15Life there are a lot of werewolf creatures with transform. In fact, the transform mechanic was created around werewolves. There's a shit-ton of werewolves with the transform mechanic:

And all of this is without mentioning all of the non-werewolf HUMAN creatures with the transform mechanic, and the card I created makes all humans werewolves too. So yeah, there's a bit of use for Autumn Moon's ability to make a werewolf transform.

Sorry. Continue.

Hanweir Watchkeep  Flip is great as a bruiser, but perhaps Lambholt Pacifist  Flip would do just as good. Coming in play a turn before and potencialy flipping one turn before while just loosin 1/1 to the Watchkeep, might get you the tempo you need. Also have into account that the Pacifist might be buffed by the lords in your deck.

In legacy, the choice of finisher in the Dragon Stompy or mono red prison is entirely not a choice. hazoret has been popular lately, but I have seen successful lists with Hanweir Watchkeep  Flip. Once the game is locked up, the actual finisher does not matter.

I'd drop the Hanweir Watchkeep  Flip for a playset of Village Messenger  Flip. It's a nice one drop with haste, and when it transforms it has evasion.

Though I'd becarefull with the red werewolves though, their effects tend to make you want to play more cards, and prevent them from transforming.

Some other cards to consider:

Lambholt Pacifist  Flip- While it can't attack right away, it's a nice T2 drop blocker.

Duskwatch Recruiter- A standard werewolf include.

Pack Guardian + Silverfur Partisan - Generates extra green wolf tokens.

Spirit of the Hunt- Provides some extra defense to your wolves and werewolves.

forgetremembering on Slow Deck... Any help?

I'd take out Abu Ja'far, Adriana, Captain of the Guard, Ajani's Chosen, Ball Lightning, Dream Pillager, Hanweir Watchkeep  Flip, Magma Giant, Platinum Angel, Tormented Pariah  Flip, Humble, Fall of the Hammer, Where Ancients Tread, Jar of Eyeballs.

I'm going to suggest a few budget options without the reason stated right now. Keep in mind Magic is a huge game. Some of us have been playing for a long time and so we have seen a lot of cards, but by no means do i know all the cards. I just know what has worked for me and my Gisela deck.

Manabarbs, Burning Earth, Grab the Reins, Crib Swap, Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Revoke Existence, Tajic, Blade of the Legion, Pilgrim's Eye, Staff of Nin, Sunblast Angel, Vandalblast, Seal of Cleansing, Auramancer, Armillary Sphere, Phyrexian Rebirth, and Burnished Hart.

I like the Divine Reckoning in the maybeboard. I've used that card well in the past and its really worked for me.

I don't understand how your deck is anywhere close to hyper aggressive when you run more 4-drops that any other CMC. The deck I'm describing would have its highest density at 3 drops. It could viably have 5 transformed Werewolves on the board by turn 5.

Okay, I tend to comment before I look at the deck--Rubblebelt Maaka and Ghor-Clan Rampager are 4-drops that are actually 1- and 2-drops respectively. Essentially you only have six 4-drops. Nevertheless, I stand by a lot of what I said. Gatstaf Shepherd, Afflicted Deserter  Flip, Lambholt Pacifist  Flip, and Hanweir Watchkeep  Flip could be replaced by MB Mayor of Avabruck  Flips, Village Messenger  Flips, and Reckless Waif  Flips, adding to your 1 and 2-drop density. There is no reason to not run 4 Mayors in this deck. I'm still gonna say Neglected Heirloom  Flip is slow. I'm still gonna say Arena is bad cuz it doesn't tap for mana and it takes up a land drop, and its three mana for Prey Upon. Granted, it's repeatable, but if it's hyper aggressive, as you claim, it should win before it gets to the point where it needs to use Arena. You could still run Moonlight Hunt in its stead, which doesn't risk trading your own creatures and only costs 2 mana, for the tradeoff of not being repeatable (still better for an aggro deck). Also, cut Descendants' Path--that above all else is a much more tempo card. That could be replaced by Moonmist, which force-transforms all your WWs at instant speed for 2 mana. I don't know how your deck plays, but I get a strong feeling I still have some very relevant suggestions. It's your deck, do what you want with it, but I have seen a Werewolves deck with most of the cards I played. Granted it's not "hyper aggressive", but its board presence becomes very overwhelming very quickly and can definitely crank out wins on turn 4.

Not to be rude, but this is a weak Werewolves deck. The primary issue is your choice of Werewolves. They are many much stronger Werewolves to run. Here's what I suggest:

Mayor of Avabruck  Flip--A 2-mana lord for all your dayside WWs that flips to a 3/3 lord for all WWs regardless of side. And he makes 3/3 tokens every turn.

Instigator Gang  Flip--This guy should be at the top of your curve, being 4 CMC, but he is well worth it. 2/3 with static battle cry that flips into a 5/5 trample with triple static battle cry. (I notice him and Mayor are SB. Why? They should definitely be MB, being stronger than most of your MB WWs.)

Reckless Waif  Flip and Village Messenger  Flip--Your prime 1-drops. A 1/1 vanilla and a 1/1 haste that transform into a 3/2 vanilla and a 2/2 menace, respectively.

Immerwolf--A 3-mana 2/2 intimidate lord for all your creatures that stops nightside WWs from flipping back. This is a real punisher with Vildin-Pack Alpha  Flip: all your WWs come in flipped and don't flip back.

Moonmist--The best combat trick you could ever put in your deck. A one-sided Fog that also flips all your dayside WWs?! And for 2 mana?!

Moonlight Hunt--The best spot removal you could ever put in your deck. As long as you have enough creatures (doesn't care dayside or nightside), this will kill anything your opponent has that's not hexproof or indestructible.

What I would recommend taking out:

Afflicted Deserter  Flip--SB material at best, and you'd be better off just running Ancient Grudge or Naturalize in its place.

Gatstaf Shepherd--He's not bad, but you'd always rather see a Mayor or a Duskwatch Recruiter  Flip.

Hanweir Watchkeep  Flip--Every 3-drop you will play is better than this guy.

Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip--Don't get me wrong, Huntmaster is good. But the best strategy with him is something that flips him every turn. With you, best strategy is to get WWs on the field, flip 'em and keep 'em flipped. If you really want, you can still run him, but after he flips, he's just a 4/4 with trample that can be buffed by your lords--pretty good, but he takes up room that other cards could.

Lambholt Pacifist  Flip--Same as Gatstaf Shepherd.

Rubblebelt Maaka, Slaughterhorn, and Wasteland Viper--Bloodrush is certainly good and it plays well with the deck, but Ghor-Clan Rampager is the only one good enough to see play here (who should be a 3- or 4-of btw). If you lose all your WWs and have to play these guys, you lost a lot of potency, since your lords don't buff any of these creatures. Wasteland Viper is maybe the only other one that could maybe also see play, but SB please. He only comes in against decks that somehow produce bigger creatures than you.

Arena--Why? This doesn't even tap for mana. More dual lands or Kessig Wolf Run, please.

Hanweir Battlements--Not worth paying the two extra mana for a deck that should already be very fast. It's not horrible I guess. If you want to play it, I would say keep it at 1-of only.

Blood Moon--This doesn't help your strategy (even your combat tricks are WW-themed!) and should therefore only be SB.

Neglected Heirloom  Flip--Nope. This only slows you down. The big bonus when flipped comes at the cost of a lot of mana, because the creature it's on immediately becomes removal-bait.

Garruk Relentless  Flip--He doesn't really do anything for you except make Wolves, which you have Arlinn Kord  Flip for. He's not horrible, you'd probably just rather run more WWs, another Arlinn, or Domri Rade MB.

Descendants' Path--This card is good in this deck, but you'd probably rather have more Collected Company or AEther Vial.

As far as your SB goes, I would recommend:

Ancient Grudge or Naturalize--As mentioned previously.

Full Moon's Rise--I see its there; YOU WANT MOAR. It stops all forms of wrath except for Merciless Eviction, Mutilate, and Terminus effects.

Blood Moon--Previous comments have explained why this card wrecks face in Modern. Gotta be careful with this though--you have a lot of nonbasics yourself.

Silverfur Partisan--He is good. However, you don't use a ton of spells yourself, so you'd rather side him against Control decks with a lot of spot removal--they either kill him first, or if they try to deal with your threats, you at least get an army of buffable tokens.

Witchstalker--I don't know Modern meta that well, but this guy is a 3/3 hexproof that is buffable by your lords and punishes opponents for instant-speed shenanigans.

The rest are ideas based on color hate:

Skylasher

Autumn's Veil

Display of Dominance

Great Sable Stag

Mistcutter Hydra

Mold Adder

Mindsparker

Ricochet Trap

And Savage Summoning is pretty good too.

Sorry, I'm not trying to put you down, I'm just trying to help you improve your deck to a competitive level. I hope this was helpful and not hurtful. :)
