TheVectornaut on Wolf Pack

I have a mono green wolf deck that I might be able to offer some suggestions from. My deck is mostly built around using Silverfur Partisan with multitarget spells like Strength of the Tajuru or Setessan Tactics to get a huge army which can then be leveraged for further value with the likes of Shamanic Revelation and Cryptolith Rite. Since you already have Band Together and some other combat tricks, Partisan could be a pretty good fit here without needing many changes. One mechanic I also like in wolves is kinship on Wolf-Skull Shaman. Not only are a lot of wolf-adjacent cards elves (Wren's Run Packmaster, both Tolsimirs, 5 of your own creatures), but many shamans can also benefit wolf token spam (Essence Warden, Master of the Wild Hunt, Nullmage Shepherd, Ulvenwald Tracker, Wild Beastmaster, etc.) If I was going to cut anything, I'd probably start with the non-Garruk black cards followed by some of the somewhat unneeded ramp and Hydra's Growth which you don't even have a trample target for. You could even consider rotating into Naya to play Voja, Jaws of the Conclave as a bomb.

I really like a Hydra's Growth and Forgotten Ancient in my Kyler deck as well. Helps to make him, and everything, extra beefy.

Kjartan Exactly! Not to mention Urza's Saga or Heliod, Sun-Crowned and so on.

And it doubles as creature removal which, when you maindeck four Giver of Runes you're winning those fights (plus if they do win your four Esper Sentinel extract a tithe).

The +1/+1 can ramp Primordial Hydra or Hydra's Growth like crazy and Ozolith, the Shattered Spire doubles that already absurd ramp speed again.

Oh and it can block red burn saving creatures from Lightning Bolt or saving you from Deflecting Palm humiliation.

Amazing card. Oh and did I mention that with Archon of Emeria down you can just wait until they cast their main phase spell and it becomes practically uncounterable.

Some thoughts:

• you’re only at 58 cards - you need 60 for a legal deck.

• I’d suggest going up to 20 lands (and also ditching the mana dork).

• you currently have no other warriors in your deck, making Bramblewood Paragon pretty useless as you’ll almost never be gaining counters off it.

• you’ll never be gaining counters from Scute Mob either - with only 18 lands you won’t have 5 in play until around turn 9-10… no game is lasting that long.

• both Forced Adaptation and Hydra's Growth are super risky/unideal cards to run as your opponent only has to use one killspell to remove both the creature & enchantment (costing you 2 cards for their 1).

• your deck currently feels very rag-tag/clumsy as far as being very slow to look threatening (Avatar of the Resolute and Rancor are the only cards that look strong in your deck currently. The rest feel weak/awkward/slow). Cards i’d suggest considering include Pelt Collector, Experiment One, Strangleroot Geist, Aspect of Hydra, Quirion Beastcaller, and maybe Servant of the Scale.

If you want the effect of Hydra's Growth on a creature, check out Kalonian Hydra and Primordial Hydra.

What is your goal with this deck? Just big creatures? Are +1/+1 counters the focus? Are you trying to do some sort of tribal focus?
