Ulrich, Uncontested Alpha
Legendary Creature — Human Werewolf
Whenever Ulrich of the Krallenhorde Flip transforms into this, you may have this fight target non-Werewolf creature you don't control. (Each deals damage equal to their power to the other)
At the beginning of each upkeep, if a player cast two or more spells last turn, transform this.

SilencedDax, I actually have! I'm currently drawing my own custom art for them too, so that'll take a bit since it's hard for me to draw werewolf poses :)
But here are my placeholders for Tedarus with Juan Acosta's amazing art: Ulrich of the Krallenhorde FlipUlrich, Uncontested Alpha Flip
*They still have the previous iterations rules text.

I'm currently building the deck centered around the Fight mechanic.
Gargos, Vicious Watcher is going to be a great control punisher, alongside Ruric Thar, the Unbowed to stop non-creature spells from being cast. Although I'll have some myself, that's a small price to pay.
Grothama, All-Devouring would be especially nasty, especially with indestructible. That's a whole lotta card advantage!
You won't get the card advantage off of Apex Altisaur, but indestructible will turn him into a variable wrath and that's just insane. Two +1/+1 counters per creature that it survived? So if there's 7 creatures online, that's 14 +1/+1 counters, making it a 24/24. That could TKO an opponent at mid-game stages!
There's also a few repeatable Fights you can have. Contested Cliffs, unfortunately, may not make the cut ... unless...
Oh and because I am a HUGE fan of secret commanders, Ulrich, Uncontested Alpha Flip is making the ranks. Repeatable fights on a legendary is too juicy to pass up.

Thanks for reaching out on MTGO the other day! Also, sorry I never replied to your note of 9/23! I ended up running a "classic" wolves deck rather than Zadafur, and it went really well ... we had a tiny group, so we were much more playing for fun than for competitiveness. But I made a bunch of iconic plays (flipping Village Messenger Flip and Neglected Heirloom Flip, beating face with Lambholt Pacifist Flip, Ulrich, Uncontested Alpha Flip fight club, etc), and had a blast!
Finally, very sorry but I've been focusing on Modern lately, so haven't really played Standard in two seasons now ... I'm afraid any thoughts I might give you on your decks could do more harm than good! You'll frankly do much better just posting in the Standard Deck Help forum :-)
Draw well!
Neotrup on Does Pernicious Deed affect tokens?

Mana Cost and Converted Mana Cost aren't really the same thing, but with a permanent you're far more likely to care about Converted Mana Cost than Mana Cost. For example, Ulrich, Uncontested Alpha Flip has a CMC of 5 for the purposes of Pernicious Deed (assuming he's the real deal and not a copy), but he has no mana cost he does not increase your devotion for the purposes of Xenagos, God of Revels. I wasn't trying correct anything you'd said wrong, I was just trying to expand upon it and connect CMC (which you were talking about) to Mana Cost (which jesuslovedhumor was talking about, despite using the term CMC).

I see your point about Duskwatch Recruiter Flip, but not only do I think he's still totally worth a spot in your deck, I think you'd do well by adding another one. Not only is his creature cycling a good mana sink (without hurting your ability to flip, which is fantastic), but his transformation is also really great considering you run Ulrich of the Krallenhorde Flip. Getting him out on turn 4 is really great in terms of aggro and pressure.
This deck already ensures you get trample, so I think for the sake of speed, you could trade out Breakneck Rider Flip for Kessig Prowler. Waxing Moon is great for him- Kessig Prowler is one of the only (EMN) werewolves I'll actually stand up for.
Overall, I enjoy your dedication to trample and vigilance! Fun stuff my man

MagicalHacker,
I know it doesn't answer all of your question, but you can see all the EMN cards so far here.
yeaGO,
I'm sure the Meld cards might be tricky, but when you get a spare moment (har!), I'd really appreciate it if you could connect the remaining Werewolves to their back faces:
- Conduit of Storms → Conduit of Emrakul
- Shrill Howler → Howling Chorus
- Smoldering Werewolf → Erupting Dreadwolf
- Tangleclaw Werewolf → Fibrous Entangler
- Ulrich of the Krallenhorde → Ulrich, Uncontested Alpha
Thinking about the Meld cards, maybe you could just connect the front and back faces too. We know they don't actually Transform, but it would be a fine work-around.
THANKS!!!

Finally catching up on comments ...
AXMANER,
Thanks much, and oooops on the extra Game Trail! :-)
SilentSpook,
Thanks much for the feedback on the number of lands. I had it pretty set last season with 22 Lands and a lower curve, and I was hoping to get by on bumping it up to just 23. I've been kind of going back and forth on whether that's enough or if I want 24. So again, thanks!
qrjusz,
I'm so glad to hear the deck was performing for you! And yeah, like Rasanck says, if you cast Borrowed Hostility (or any single spell with multiple modes) and target multiple Creatures, Zada/Mirrorwing's ability will not trigger.
Vandyel,
In addition to the points qrjusz lays out, longtime readers of this thread know Lambholt Pacifist
Flip as my favorite card in SOI and IMO one of the best two-drops in Standard. So a card would have to be unbelievably good to pull Pacifist out of the deck. And while Ulvenwald Captive
Flip definitely has a place in a Wolven Ramp deck (shamelessly, one like my Eldrazi Wolf build, I think this deck needs the Pacifist much more.
Shimdom,
:-D
onemorevictim,
Thanks much for the kudos. And to pile on to what AXMANER said ... like I say in the Strategy and Card Choices section (and above in Post #3): There is no crazy interaction if both Zada, Hedron Grinder and Mirrorwing Dragon are on the battlefield at the same time. The key piece is "Whenever you cast [a spell] that targets only ~ ... copy that spell for each other creature ...". For example, if you cast an Instant or Sorcery that targets only Zada, you copy the spell, targeting Mirrorwing. But since the second spell is copied rather than cast, Mirrorwing's ability won't trigger too.
AXMANER,
Yeah, Vildin-Pack Alpha
Flip and Ulrich of the Krallenhorde are really good together. But you end up with a 10/10, not a 14/14. It woks like this: Ulrich ETBs and can target himself, so he gets +4/+4 until end of turn. Then you may transform Ulrich, using Vildin-Pack's triggered ability, which gives you Ulrich, Uncontested Alpha, now a 10/10. But please note Ulrich reads "...or transforms into Ulrich of the Krallenhorde...". So transforming into Uncontested Alpha does not trigger an extra +4/+4 ... that ability only triggers when he flips back.
Eleros,
I ran Westvale Abbey
Flip for a little while last season and liked it OK, but I found that I either had TONS of Creatures available (which made it easy to transform, but kind of a win-more) or I had very few creatures available (which made it really touch to transform, and SO painful when it invariably got hit by a Clip Wings or whatever.
Still though, it's worth a re-look for sure; thanks much!
Thanks again to you all!
