Also, what is Eidolon of Blossoms doing in here? Also, Taurean Mauler and Chameleon Colossus are two of the best "werewolves," and you'll get some splash benefits for Fang of the Pack from some of your cards. You could use a couple of overrun effects in addition to Tribal Unity like Triumph of the Hordes and Craterhoof Behemoth , since it's the best way to close out the game with a creature deck.

CHANGELOG 08/05/17

Additions:

• Tragic Slip (good against gods)
• Deathreap Ritual (good pull towards Golgari, good splash for Rakdos and Selesnya)
• Malicious Affliction (good black targeted removal)
• Morbid Curiosity (good in Artifacts and Golgari)
• Mirrorweave (seems like it could get pretty zany, also works as a functional wrath if you target a legendary creature)
• Slate of Ancestry (seems like a better option than Harmonize and the like for colors without CA)
• Thundermaw Hellkite (just busted)
• Hellkite Charger (lets speed up the game a bit)
• Illusionist's Gambit (a hilarious gotcha card in blue)
• Thalia, Heretic Cathar (this card makes the aggro deck in the pod much more threatening)

Cuts:

• Cavern Harpy
• Boros Charm
• Lexivore
• Boartusk Liege
• Goblin Chieftain
• Goblin King
• Goblin Lackey
• Goblin Matron
• Goblin Piledriver
• Goblin Recruiter
• Goblin Warchief
• Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician
• Krenko, Mob Boss
• Skirk Fire Marshal
• Warren Instigator

Potential cuts (not removed, waiting your feedback):

• Sylvan Primordial (too much value I think)
• Sundering Titan (again, too much value)
• Nahiri, the Harbinger (she is good but doesnt support any archetypes)
• Merchant's Dockhand (very durdly. I actually hate this card, to be honest lol)
• Gruul Charm (doesnt do enough. There are better options to stop blocks)
• Merciless Eviction I think this is too good, actually. I dont want the build/reset dynamic unless you really pay a cost for it.
• Supreme Verdict (see: Merciless Eviction)
• Dovescape I think this will actually lead to too many board stalls. Not worth it.
• Reparations Doesnt do enough
• Darksteel Mutation (not necessary. We have enough good white removal)
• Limited Resources too mean.
• Tempt with Glory the tokens deck wants this, but I think it will only be better than a 6-mana put a +1/+1 on each creature you control when playing against gruul.
• Filigree Sages too little payoff for those stats
• Skill Borrower this card just sucks
• Shape Anew very bad. I love tinker, but nah.
• Black Sun's Zenith too good.
• Dread Return We said no reanimation
• Exhume
• Reanimate
• Animate Dead
• Bonfire of the Damned too mean
• Starstorm too good I think. Rolling Thunder could be a good replacement?
• Tempt with Discovery I hope were playing with people smart enough not to fall for this trap
• Fang of the Pack (I think this card is not very good. I like that it has melee, but its not the best for a 6-drop)

Notes:

Goblin Tribal just didnt seem viable unless you draft AND CAST Krenko. The deck leans too hard on one card and is too all-in for the multiplayer format. Sorry Goblins!

I left in the GU liege in case we want to do tap control in Simic, but I think we should move away from that archetype. I think I am more into ramp (Rashmi etc.) or cheating (Show and Tell effects). Maybe Simic is just good enough that we dont really need to plan too much for it. I dunno.

Still torn about Azorius. Do you think we have enough control in the format as-is? Can we do creature control with blinks? I want to move away from walls and wraths if possible, but I also want control (in whatever form we decide to do it) to be viable. Its important to me that there is room for control players to have plenty of fun drafting and playing, but its also important to keep the pace of the game. I think where we are now is a good mix of aggro/midrange slugfest plus control elements that cut them down and build CA over time.

Ah yeah I need to find a spot think about switching out Snapping Gnarlid and Fang of the Pack

Wizno on Endless Waves of Werewolves. Werewolves EDH

I love that werewolves have a proper commander now as they're probably my favorite tribe! I've also been running a werewolf EDH deck and I do have a few suggestions based on my own experience. I'm not sure what your budget is either so I'll give you a range of options (price-wise)!

Okay so let's start with the mana-base. Budget pending, incorporating more dual lands will help smooth out your turns:

Cinder Glade
Stomping Ground
Temple of Abandon Raging Ravine
Fire-Lit Thicket
Mossfire Valley
Mountain Valley
Game Trail
Wooded Foothills

Again, which ones you choose are up to your budget and preference but adding more of these will help out a lot. I would also recommend a few additional utility lands like:

Oran-Rief, the Vastwood
Hanweir Battlements
Winding Canyons

These will help pump your wolves, give them haste, or cheat them on to the battlefield so they can flip easier.

My next round of recommendations is related to your creatures. I originally tossed in all of the werewolves into my deck because I was so hyped but learned very quickly that may not be ideal. You can likely cut some of the more vanilla werewolves because they aren't really contributing much else beyond a creature type. I would often ask myself, "if I top decked this card, would I be happy?", and that's how I approached those cuts.

I would suggest adding in some creatures that will support your werewolves indirectly:

Ruric Thar, the Unbowed
Xenagos, God of Revels
Dragonlair Spider
Fang of the Pack

The next line of support is cheating in cards so you can get more flips. I would suggest some of the following:

Winding Canyons
Yisan, the Wanderer Bard
Yeva, Nature's Herald
Vedalken Orrery
Lurking Predators
Hibernation's End
Selvala's Stampede
Wild Pair

My last round of suggestions would be related to card advantage. Gruul decks have a notoriously hard time keeping up with other colors in terms of card power so trying to gain advantage any way you can is crucial.

Cards like the following can help:

Gamble
Magus of the Wheel
Wheel of Fate
Hunter's Insight
Shamanic Revelation
Grenzo, Havoc Raiser

I know this is a lot of info. and I hope some of it helps! Good luck with your were-pups!

P.S. I would add in a Sol Ring.
