Kessig Naturalist

Creature — Human Werewolf

Whenever this attacks, add {R} or {G}. Until end of turn, you don't lose this mana as steps and phases end.

Daybound (When this enters the battlefield, if it's not day or night, this game becomes day for all players. If a player casts no spells during their own turn, this game becomes night for all players next turn during the untap step. When it becomes night, all permanents on the battlefield transform into their nightbound side if they have one, and any new permanents that enter the battlefield will enter on their nightbound side if they have one. Becoming day/night does not use the stack and cannot be responded to.)

clayperce on Speed Kills (Balthier and Fran Ultra-Budget)

Thanks much for the suggestions, legendofa!

I'll give them a hard look, but my initial thoughts are: Radha, Heir to Keld = maybe; Kessig Naturalist  ^Flip and Savage Ventmaw = probably not. The deal is Creatures hardly _ever _Attack in this deck ... they pretty much just Crew vehicles. So it would be very rare to get {R}{R} from Radha or any mana at all from the Naturalist. And unfortunately, Balthier and Fran can only use three of the mana from the Ventmaw, because their triggered ability can only proc once per Turn. Thinking about the Ventmaw though has got me looking at Full Throttle and Aggravated Assault again. I dismissed them at first, but I'll keep an eye on them as the deck moves from goldfishing onto a real table :-)

Thanks again; cheers!

Would Radha, Heir to Keld, Kessig Naturalist  ^Flip, or some ATLA firebending cards fit in here to help pay for Balthier and Fran's extra combats? Savage Ventmaw can pay for two extra attacks by itself.

CommanderNeyo on Werewolf? There Wolf

Some suggestions I have are:

Tovolar, Dire Overlord  ^Flip gives card advantage and flips furries

Kessig Naturalist  ^Flip gives mana and buffs furries

Ill-Tempered Loner  ^Flip is difficult to block and makes your other furries extra angry

Howlpack Piper  ^Flip helps you flood the board with furries and find more furries, all without casting a spell (so your humans can embrace their fursonas)

Moonrager's Slash is a furry-themed Lightning Bolt

Unnatural Moonrise buffs, flips (new furries), and gives card draw

Avabruck Caretaker  ^Flip is an expensive furry, but hard to kill

Reckless Stormseeker  ^Flip helps your furries go fast

Tovolar's Huntmaster  ^Flip comes with lots of furries

Mayor of Avabruck  ^Flip is an old but classic furry that helps your furries even when they are not living out their fursonas

Huntmaster of the Fells  ^Flip brings a furry friend and kills furry-haters

Of all these, I think Mayor of Avabruck  ^Flip and Huntmaster of the Fells  ^Flip are the best.

If this were my deck, I would probably drop the following: Bard Class, Tovolar, Dire Overlord  ^Flip and the Kessig Naturalist  ^Flip. My reasoning is as follows:

Bard Class: The 1st chapter only helps 2 creatures in your deck. The 2nd chapter, does a little better, but you're still relying on having specific cards in hand to make use of it and if you don't then why are you putting it into play? The 3rd chapter runs into a similar problem, but what I see as a bigger problem would be casting the spells you could get off of it. Your land count isn't that high and might cause you to stall, making bard even less useful.

Kessig only pumps (and only sometimes) tovolar and dies to your dragon saga. Probably not worth it. Your large creatures are definitely going to carry the burden of winning for you. More coming later about this.

Tovolar is ok, but I don't feel like you get enough use of his abilities to make it worthwhile.

What I would do/add: First thing I would do is add a few more basic lands (forests would probably be best). Only having 20 lands will probably screw you up more times than it will ever help you. It also gives you more fodder for Borgy. Another thing I would look to add is a set of Transmogrify. This will enable you to take all your small creatures and turn them into your heavy hitters more often than not. You have enough token makers with domri and the green saga to make use of it. Consider this possibility, turn 3 weatherseed, turn 4 transmogrify into a beater off it's token. Nylea's Presence is also something to consider for the final chapter of weatherseed.

So what would the deck look like after these changes: I see this deck trying to keep small creatures at bay while with conduit and the dragon saga while you set up large creatures to beat face with. It's fairly simple and I think it would make the deck support itself better overall with these changes. But that's just what I would do. It's your deck, have fun with it however you want.

Kessig Naturalist  ^Flip

Atarka's Command if going more aggro

Augur of Autum: Neat alternative to Courser & Radha, Heart of Keld. Achieving Coven so that you can do Creature card-based card advantage is a bit "win more", but it's still a neat bonus to the default extra land-playing.

As a side note, I'm a bit worried over the lack of new EDH-decent Gruul-inclusive Werewolves. Aside from Tovolar, there's just Kessig Naturalist  ^Flip. The actual Wolves aren't very impressive either.
