Help figuring out Human support for Werewolf tribal

My initial werewolf list, and all the ones I've found, focus on being able to flip without losing tempo. It's important to werewolves to be able to do so, but I was going back over the list, and realized I never want to be on the front side. Huntmaster and Ulrich want to flip for extra effects, but they want time in-between spent furry and furious. That seems a waste, as there are 2 sides to all the werewolves.I was hoping we could figure out some payoff cards for the front side of werewolves.
To start: They're all human, so I'm testing out Gallows at Willow Hill.
If you are willing to incorporate White into your EDH deck, you'll find a lot of additional Human support. Naya Werewolves could be interesting!

I could see that. Thalia's Lieutenant, Angel of Glory's Rise, Dearly Departed, Herald of War, and Sigarda, Heron's Grace all seem like they could be good.

Going out of R/G Mass Appeal appeal will let you restock when they all flip to the day side.
I also think Titan of Eternal Fire could be really good, and Vigilante Justice seems fun.

Thanks Wizno, I'm running Isochron Scepter. In addition to moonmist, I have Pit Fight and some other fight-themed instants

Temur Werewolves is also quite potent. While it doesn't have as much direct Human support as Naya, you get powerhouse cards like:
Arcane Laboratory
Mana Maze
Standstill
Surrak Dragonclaw
And of course any number of take extra turn cards to abuse the flip mechanic.
There are also a lot of artifacts and enchantments that can give your werewolves flash so you can cast them on another turn and spend your time flipping them.

Sigarda, Heron's Grace and Lightning Greaves or Mask of Avacyn is a staple whenever i decide to run a Human deck.

Most of the werewolf edh decks I've seen (including my own) tend to use generic anthem effects to boost the human side of werewolves since flipping becomes trickier late game. You have lords and effects like:
Obelisk of Urd
Door of Destinies
Coat of Arms
Immerwolf
Mayor of Avabruck Flip
Adaptive Automaton
Howlpack Resurgence
Full Moon's Rise
Beastmaster Ascension
Shared Animosity
If you're looking for cards that provide support for solely Humans, I would review cards from the previous Innistrad block, the current Return to Innistrad block, or just review Human Tribal cards on EDHREC.com.
I'm not sure if this helped you with your question or not but I hope it provides some food for thought at the very least!
While difficult to pull off, one neat combo you could try is Isochron Scepter + Moonmist.
