Playing against the "Mirror" pack. —March 30, 2016

I played 3 games against deck-large:gruul-wolves-soi if anyone was interested in reading the games. It ended up 2-1 my way in the end. Very close games though.

Kizmetto,
This is really coming together nicely; +1!

A few thoughts ...

  • I looked at Scourge Wolf but decided against it ... the was just too inconsistent and he ended up a turn 3 play more often than not. Mine's a much more Aggro deck though, so it might be fine in yours.
  • Expedite maybe? Sometimes for the Haste effect, but always for the draw.
  • Titan's Strength maybe? Scry's not draw of course, but it's nice.

My deck's over at Gruul Wolves (SOI Standard); you're welcome to drop by anytime!

Good luck (and good skill) on the build!

If you are trying to make it standard you will have to get rid of collected company and Atarka's command a as they wond be standard anymore once shadows over innistrad comes out

thank you for the comment!

Scourge Wolf hasn't been a bad play so far, but still looking for another nice 2 drop! Ember-eye Wolf maybe? Its cmc hasnt been revealed yet but hey, hoping its 1R !

Expedite could definitely be much more viable, and can help flip werewolves in a pinch...i'll do some testing with it!

Titan's Strength was in the original build but, im not sure. ended up dropping it but it made for explosive turns.

Alright! I'll take a look!

Kizmetto,
Yeah, based on Feral Ridgewolf, I'm guessing Ember-eye will be a 3-drop. I'd LOVE to be wrong though! :-)

Its a 2 drop! its perfect! I've decided to go deeper into the Collected Company route, and reduced the sorceries and instants down to the bare basics of CoCo and Atarka's Command. Increased creature count.

Expedite wasn't playing well in this sort of deck, even though the cantrip was good. Since i am going deep on the CoCo build, i've removed it in favor of more haste creatures. (turns out lots of wolves have haste)

Kizmetto,
I like Treason effects on the sideboard too. Depending on how the meta ends up, you might actually consider Eldrazi Obligator over Act of Treason. There's definite downside (it's actually a five-drop, plus you need colorless, plus CoCo nerfs the effect). But if we end up fighting a lot of Grixis Control, the fact it's uncounterable (the Treason effect happens on cast, not when it resolves) may be worth it.
