A15Life there are a lot of werewolf creatures with transform. In fact, the transform mechanic was created around werewolves. There's a shit-ton of werewolves with the transform mechanic:

• Afflicted Deserter  ^Flip

• Breakneck Rider  ^Flip

• Conduit of Storms  ^Flip

• Convicted Killer  ^Flip

• Daybreak Ranger  ^Flip

• Duskwatch Recruiter  ^Flip

• Gatstaf Arsonists  ^Flip

• Gatstaf Shepherd  ^Flip

• Geier Reach Bandit  ^Flip

• Grizzled Outcasts  ^Flip

• Hanweir Watchkeep  ^Flip

• Hermit of the Natterknolls  ^Flip

• Hinterland Hermit  ^Flip

• Hinterland Logger  ^Flip

• Huntmaster of the Fells  ^Flip

• Instigator Gang  ^Flip

• Kessig Forgemaster  ^Flip

• Kruin Outlaw  ^Flip

• Lambholt Elder  ^Flip

• Lambholt Pacifist  ^Flip

• Mayor of Avabruck  ^Flip

• Mondronen Shaman  ^Flip

• Reckless Waif  ^Flip

• Sage of Ancient Lore  ^Flip

• Scorned Villager  ^Flip

• Shrill Howler  ^Flip

• Smoldering Werewolf  ^Flip

• Solitary Hunter  ^Flip

• Tangleclaw Werewolf  ^Flip

• Tormented Pariah  ^Flip

• Ulrich of the Krallenhorde  ^Flip

• Ulvenwald Captive  ^Flip

• Ulvenwald Mystics  ^Flip

• Vildin-Pack Outcast  ^Flip

• Village Ironsmith  ^Flip

• Village Messenger  ^Flip

• Villagers of Estwald  ^Flip

• Wolfbitten Captive  ^Flip

And all of this is without mentioning all of the non-werewolf HUMAN creatures with the transform mechanic, and the card I created makes all humans werewolves too. So yeah, there's a bit of use for Autumn Moon's ability to make a werewolf transform.

Sorry. Continue.

Coolio. Sooo, where to start. Just based on how the deck has lots of singles, Im guessing that you own most/all of these cards. Thats fine, it just won't be as smooth as a deck you made then ordered. I would drop Vivien's Invocation . Its really pricy, mana wise, and none of your creatures have a high enough power for the second ability to really come into play. Now your deck is down to 60 cards. Good, keep it there. Due to Immerwolf , Shrill Howler  ^Flip, Smoldering Werewolf  ^Flip, Tangleclaw Werewolf  ^Flip, Ulvenwald Captive  ^Flip, and Vildin-Pack Outcast  ^Flip cannot transform. You can figure out how to deal with that, if that is a problem you come across. Mayor of Avabruck  ^Flip is a important card in most Werwolf decks. Howlpack Resurgence is an incredibly important card, so important that i have never seen a werewolf deck that didnt run it. Its somewhat pricy, but Collected Company is a powerful card, especially in a creature based deck like this.

Neotrup on How does Descendants' Path work?

There is an interesting interaction with two Descendants' Path . If you do control a human, say Noble Hierarch , and two Descendants' Path 's, in your upkeep both will trigger. If the first resolves and reveals Lambholt Pacifist  ^Flip so you cast it for free, that resolves, then the next Descendants' Path resolves and reveals Shrill Howler  ^Flip. You will be able to cast Shrill Howler  ^Flip because you now control Lambholt Pacifist  ^Flip, even though you did not control a werewolf when the ability initially triggered.

I don't know, should I add Waxing Moon over 1 Moonmist so you don't have to pay 6 for Shrill Howler  ^Flip and Kessig Prowler  ^Flip or should I keep it the way it is?

Fair points especially around sweepers :)

My take on Wolves is built around Shrill Howler  ^Flip and it's in-built evasion. So for me the instant pump spells are there to get its damage through. But it is definitely vulnerable to removal/board wipes!

clayperce Nice suggestion.

I'm considering Sixth Sense for card draw.

It doesn't work with Silverfur Partisan, but trampling wolves or Shrill Howler should provide repeated card draw.

And against control, I'd side in Hermit of the Natterknolls  ^Flip. I've not tested this since so few of my mates play control decks!

Maybe Shrill Howler  ^Flip and Waxing Moon.

I would agree that Shrill Howler  ^Flip and Ulrich's Kindred Make good candidates for the axe. I refuse to play the howler as I feel it was a missed opportunity to be a good wolf/werewolf support card and instead they made it eldrazi support. The latter, as you have already noticed is a pretty heavy mana sink for a limited ability in terms of use. I love Conduit of Storms but I can see how his usefulness varies. My concern now would be that you are removing 3 creatures and I am suggesting you add 2 so you are losing bodies. For a Gruul deck based on tribal interactions losing creatures hurts.

After taking another look at my own deck I can make a couple more suggestions for creatures you could replace those three with:Adaptive AutomatonTaurean MaulerChameleon ColossusTangleclaw Werewolf  ^FlipVildin-Pack Outcast  ^FlipWolfir SilverheartThese are all really powerful or offer good utility and are almost always better to draw than Howler, Kindred, Storyteller or Conduit.
