Summary

Commander Selesnya /
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6918962#paper
You are a green mage - Your mission is to cast a furry of spells to destroy your opponents.
The deck is designed to play as a control deck, NOT wolf a typical tribal. This is one of the pitfalls I see around deck construction.

General

Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves
Oracle Text
When Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves enters the battlefield, create Voja, Friend to Elves, a legendary 3/3 green and white Wolf creature token.
Whenever a Wolf enters the battlefield under your control, you gain 3 life and that creature fights up to one target creature you don't control.

Commander Pro et Contra

Pros

  • Solid Stats
  • Built in Removal & Lifegain
  • Really fun, opponents won't know what you're up to


    • Cons

  • Weak combat damage
  • Flying creatures are a challenge to overcome
  • All the best counter spells are in
  • Pile of many token cards are required to play this deck

    • Dog Days


    Update: 2024-11-17
    Added Emancipation Angel to the list as another card that can draw the entire library with Aluren and Tribute to the World Tree

    Update: 2024-11-16
    41 Flash / Instant Speed Spells
    In the never ending pursuit to make a high-power wolf deck that has no right being in the 8.5 - 10 power level pod the deck is starting to hit it's ceiling.
    Reprieve, Mana Vault, Teferi's Protection, Sylvan Tutor, Esper Sentinel & Manglehorn are some of the considerations.

    WHO LET THE WOLVES OUT?


    Combo A
    Aluren with Cloudstone Curio and Ferocious Pup.
    Infinite tokens
    Infinite LTB
    Infinite ETB

    Combo B
    Aluren with Fleetfoot Panther or Stonecloaker or Whitemane Lion.
    Infinite LTB
    Infinite ETB

    Pay-Offs
    Oltec Matterweaver
    Radagast the Brown
    Spirited Companion
    Aetherflux Reservoir

    Back-up Plan
    The Book of Exalted Deeds with Mutavault or Faceless Haven
    Take out your opponents in combat while having a Platinum Angel land before your opponents finds a Strip Mine.

    Devoted Druid with Swift Reconfiguration
    Let me know when you find something spicy to do with the infinite mana.

    Chopping Block


    Master of the Wild Hunt - OUT
    Cemetery Prowler - IN

    Master of the Wild Hunt produces token wolves however doesn't work with combo A+B.
    Cemetery Prowler works with combo A+B as a castable spell, provides more graveyard hate and cost reduction.


    Not the Flashiest Friends

    Cemetery Prowler
    Ambush Wolf
    Briarpack Alpha
    Pack Guardian
    Spirit of the Hunt
    Wolfir Avenger

    These wolves are synergistic with the Lightning Helix type control Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves is looking for.
