Looks like a good deck... +1. Did you try and subsequently discard the use of werewolf specific cards such as Immerwolf or Full Moon's Rise?

Agog Never tried Immerwolf because the goal here is to keep Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip flipping back and forth were a lot of power comes from. If he is left unanswered I can flip him once a turn, sometimes twice. Full Moon's Rise was taken out for Golgari Charm to regenerate all my creatures not just my werewolves plus has more versatility. As for the trample part I have Kessig Wolf Run for that.

Im digging the tri color, however I feel like it falls short to faster aggro styles, mine is fast and ruthless... gruul only tho Stomped into the ground (A Gruul Production)

There hasn't been very many aggro decks at the shop I play at since Gatecrash came out. I used to run Searing Spear and Abrupt Decay main board and was able to stop boros aggro decks just fine. But with most people running life gain cards and less creatures now I put Rakdos's Return and Skullcrack in.

Most games I take field control on turn 3.

@tarnash

Immerwolf stops my Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip from flipping. I know the argument that with Immerwolf I end up with a 5/5 trampler with a 3/3 wolf. And supposedly he will be taken care of before I can get him to flip back to a human anyways if that's the case what good is Immerwolf? Most games I get him out he is usually either taken care of right away or is left unanswered for me to abuse with flipping.

As for the other cards Scorned Villager  Flip is a mana dork so one mana is fine but two is great. Usually have either 4 or 5 mana on turn five which leaves me with the choice if either Garruk, Primal Hunter or Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip. I wouldn't consider Wolfir Silverheart because I want him more as a surprise pair and attack.

And as for Mayor of Avabruck  Flip yes I can see Immerwolf helping a lot. Always keeping my creatures boosted and getting a wolf at all my end steps.

Still weighing the pros and cons I would not put Immerwolf in here for two major reasons. One I want my werewolves to be able to flip back and forth. Two I have no room for him in here.

Sorry for the long response but I get told to put Immerwolf in here a lot and he really doesn't have a place in this deck.

Edit: Turn 3 I usually have 4 or 5 mana.

You greatly underestimate Immerwolf and Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip.

For four mana, you get 2 life and two 3/3 bodies. On the flip, you get two Shocks and a 5/5 Trample. And why would you want to flip away from that? Werewolf decks are aggro decks - the longer the game lingers on, the less likely you are to actually win it.

Flipping Huntmaster back and forth is cute and all, but it's the last thing an aggressive deck wants to be doing.

For Pete's sake, you're mainboarding 3 Skullcracks - that's how aggressively you're playing this deck.

Also, I'd definitely be running Garruk Relentless  Flip over Primal Hunter here. He comes out a turn earlier, he's easier to cast, and his token-generating abilities are more useful to you.

Golgari Charm should be a sideboard card, whereas Abrupt Decay should be in your mainboard. With the format right now, I feel you will encounter far more aggro decks, than control decks. Thus, being in the Golgari Charms to regenerate your werewolves from the board wipes, but keep in your Abrupt Decays to eliminate other creatures and or Detention Spheres.

Thats what i think, anyway. Your Golgari Charm cannot get rid of Boros Reckoner that easily :P

@zandl I know all about Immerwolf I use to use him in an aggro werewolf deck. This is more of a midrange almost, control, sometimes it can become an aggro with the Mayor of Avabruck  Flip.

As for why, I want Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip to flip back for 2 life and another body and then he can flip again for another double shock. You may think it's cute but when I can do it once or twice a turn it's not.

I use Garruk, Primal Hunter instead of Garruk Relentless  Flip is because I get 3/3s always and the big reason is for the card draw. I have tried using Garruk Relentless  Flip before and it's nice that I get wolves but not all the time would they get boosted.r And yeah I could get him out a turn earlier but usually when I have 4 mana it's a Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip and if not then I'm holding a Wolfir Avenger for a surprise blocker or playing it at the end of their turn.

@Vos_Is_Boss yes I would switch out Golgari Charm for Abrupt Decay but my shop likes control a lot which is why I have it that way.

Immerwolf should be fine with huntmaster. he'll flip turn 4 or turn 5. Your opponent should not survive long enough to worry about flipping huntsmaster again, at that point, the 5/5 trample for the kill is more important than the life and wolf, especially if you are pumping out wolves already from Garruk Relentless  Flip or Mayor of Avabruck  Flip.

Dude, this deck is destructive. I like the layout and the look of how it would operate, definite kudos.

Good build, I myself am running a new version of Moonmist Destruction and I have tried to make it as aggro as possible, unfortunately I'm probably going to have to remove Huntmaster as it doesn't like to roll with my aggro style, unless I get rid of my immerwolf so they are constantly flipping. Would definitely love it if you'd take a look at it. +1 for werewolves!

is the name of the deck in anyway related to the Skyrim loading screen lol? or maybe ive just been playing too much skyrim and everything starts to remind me of it lol.

Itoshii says... #19

Yes, yes it is. =) I believe you're the the first to notice that.

April 6, 2013 10:56 p.m.

I'm glad to see Wolfir Avenger in this deck! He doesn't see enough play! I would have to suggest swapping Garruk, Primal Hunter for Garruk Relentless  Flip though. He costs less in mana and price and makes Wolf tokens. +1

April 7, 2013 10:37 a.m.

Itoshii says... #21

I use Garruk, Primal Hunter mainly for card draw. Also with him I get a 3/3 beast instead of a 2/2 wolf. The only way a wolf would benefit me more than the beast is when I have 2 Howlpack Alpha  Flip out.

April 8, 2013 12:23 p.m.

Itoshii says... #22

Also I love Wolfir Avenger he does so much work in this deck.

sugartastic says... #23

Ummm, only 3 creatures in the deck are werewolves, not even the planeswalker is a werewolf. Since it's not a werewolf deck, you're right, Immerwolf makes no sense in it....
