First Update —July 28, 2017

Additions: Geier Reach Bandit  Flip, Village Messenger  Flip, Lightning Bolt

Subtractions: Isochron Scepter, Arlinn Kord  Flip, Wolfbitten Captive  Flip

I added 3x Lightning Bolt to the deck because the deck needed a good removal spell. 1x Geier Reach Bandit  Flip and 1x Village Messenger  Flip was also added because they perform so well.

Isochron Scepter on the other hand performed too great and by removing them I kept the deck on a more friendly level. It always felt like a bad draw when I got Wolfbitten Captive  Flip on hand and it had to give room for the Lightning Bolt. While Arlinn Kord  Flip is cool and all, I will test with only one in the deck for a while.

The sideboard also had a big overhaul.

Additions: Beast Within, Daybreak Ranger  Flip, Moonlight Hunt, Silverfur Partisan,

Subtractions: Bow of Nylea, Hermit of the Natterknolls  Flip, Collected Company

Beast Within is great for removal of strong creatures or planeswalkers, or any other permanent for that matter. A 3/3 beast can often more easily be dealt with. Those pesky flyer decks can be rather troublesome, so I included another Daybreak Ranger  Flip. If all this removal is not enough then Moonlight Hunt should do the trick. If our opponent has the same thing in mind then Silverfur Partisan could be useful.

Bow of Nylea on the other hand is a bow. Werewolves does not use bows when transformed. I wonder why I had Hermit of the Natterknolls  Flip in the sideboard in the first place. Collected Company was too expensive and did not fit the theme that well.

Werewolved are back in Shadows over Innistrad! I have updated my werewolf deck to include the new cards and some other options from other sets. As for now this deck will be modern. Perhaps in the next set Eldritch Moon we will get some cards like Immerwolf, Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip and Moonmist to make it standard playable. Do you have any ideas on how to improve the deck, without leaving the theme? Then let your voice be heard and leave a comment!

Personally, I prefer to use Howlpack Resurgence over Full Moon's Rise. You might not get regenerate, but it buffs your wolves and werewolves AND had flash so you can play it during your opponent's turn to get around transform triggers! You might want to look into it :)

Blueleader96 I will have to try that out to see how it works out! I can see your point about flash and how it also buffs the wolves. It costs one more mana though.

Blood Moon is a super tasty enabler for werewolves.

Happymaster19 It is very tasty indeed! But I don't think my deck can handle that much flavor, neither does my wallet.

Cult of the Waxing Moon is always a staple in werewolf. Great deck, +1

Hmm... An issue I had when i made a werewolf deck the first time around was the Immerwolf/Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip nombo. Immerwolf shuts down the huntmaster. Immerwolf also has an issue with some of the Eldrazi werewolves, should you ever want to add those, because they are not all human werewolves. Just my 2 cents. You may want to get rid of one or the other. Side board one in for the other, things like that.

Snap157 It could potentially boost this deck, but the card seems a bit slow. Also, he is neither a wolf nor a werewolf so he will not be getting many of my buffs. I will consider it though, but at first glance he might do a better job in standard.

Shimdom It is a bit sad that I cannot continue to flip Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip if there is a Immerwolf in play. But a 4/4 trampler, a 2/2, 2 life, 2 player damage and a chance to kill a creature is still very good for 4 mana. Also the Immerwolf is needed for this deck to function properly. I would rather let the Howlpack Alpha  Flip pump tokens than letting all my wolves flip back by not including Immerwolf. Because of this I usually just keep both of them in the deck, and sideboard for the other cards as needed.
