Predator's Rapport

Instant

Choose target creature you control. You gain life equal to that creature's power plus its toughness.

Hard to reccomend things to a deck with 100+ cards in it. I would suggest trying to figure out the goal and cards you want to focuse on using. As TheoryCrafter said would be nice to know if you are just building with cards lying around, goal of making this a commnader deck or is this suppose to be a regular modern deck.

Some cards I can reccomend trimming at least would be Predator's Rapport, Punish the Enemy, Shed Weakness, Stony Strength, The Chase is On, Primal Cocoon, Urban Burgeoning, and Carapace Forger. None of these cards are very good or synergize with wolf deck strats.

Dont want to be rude... but I would say alot of this is likely just in need of being scrapped and remade from the ground up. Can provide wolf options to consider if you are looking for good cards to consider, but need to know the goal of the deck. Goal options would be fast aggressive wolves, Midrange wolves where you play somewhat aggressively but are developing value to not run out of card plays, and format of modern, pioneer, casual 60 card or commander would help with card and build suggestions.

Well, Harmonize was the color-shift from Concentrate from Planer Chaos. Predator's Rapport would have been a better selection for your inquiry over Dawnglow Infusion, but seeing as both of these are among my favorite cards in the game, I'll forgive you <3

Really, Dawnglow Infusion is a bit of a bend for both colors, really. They both focus on creatures, not how much mana you can spend into something.

As for your actual question... what else would it be based around? Green is the big-stompy-boi color. Landfall could work, sure. Or perhaps "X life for each land" or something. But, realistically speaking, what else would you be looking toward? In a lot of ways, green and white are in the same boat here; Green focuses more so on large, singular creatures while white focuses on tokens. But at the end of the day, a creature is a creature.

I understand what you mean though. Black focuses on when creatures die is when you get life.

Red... kind of doesn't? Now that I think about it, nor does blue? Huh, neat.

I believe white also looks at enchantments to gain some life. I think, perhaps, a nice alternative for gaining life could be green looking at things such as total number of lands on the battlefield, revealing the top X cards and you get life equal to the highest power among creature cards revealed... things like that.

Some thoughts:

  • Mu Yanling isn’t modern-legal.

  • lifegain is probably the weakest mechanic in magic, and it’s never usually worth running cards that only gain life - i’d ditch Predator's Rapport.

  • you need waay more lands imo. Typical modern ramp decks will be running anywhere from 28-33 lands. 20 is far too low, especially when cards like Elvish Pioneer and Eureka Moment are depending on a high land count.

  • ramp decks usually want all their cards to either be ramping you, or providing some massive payoff for all your mana. In that sense, I don’t think Scythe Leopard has any reasonable place here.

  • some of your big “payoff” cards also feel skeptical to me. Nessian Boar is just giving your opponent card advantage. Snapping Sailback doesn’t feel particularly intimidating for its mana cost. Body of Research is interesting, but is still just a big vanilla creature with no abilities.

When I first started playing MTG, I had a deck that ran Heroes' Bane whom I had ETB with 4x +1/+1 counters, who I then subsequently doubled 18 times to turn it into a 1,048,576/1,048,576.

And then I cast a Predator's Rapport.

Good deck idea. I honestly think using green for big creatures to gain life off of is one of the more effective life gain strategies out there. I first began playing Magic during the Return to Ravnica block, and for some reason one of the first cards that struck me as a very good card was Predator's Rapport. I think it would synergize well with your strategy. God bless :)

Gaining 2,097,152 life in a single turn is pretty based, also.
