Arlinn left her pack —Nov. 16, 2016

clayperce had a very valid point regarding keeping Arlinn Kord  Flip alive. That's why she can be moved to sideboard.

In a meantime Waxing Moon has returned to mainboard

Ghosty,
Looks very solid;+1!

A few quick thoughts ...

  • I ran Cinder Glade as a four-of for a while, but found the upside (better fixing) was not worth the downside (entering tapped more often than I wanted). May be worth testing with fewer, if you haven't already. I found the sweet spot for my deck as a two-of. Same with Evolving Wilds ... I'm no longer running it at all.
  • Not sure about your deck, but I've found Ulrich of the Krallenhorde  Flip to be pretty meh. I want my five-drops to make a huge impact no matter how I'm doing, and his +4/+4 is pretty much useless if I'm behind on board. They're not as flavorful to be sure, but maybe Verdurous Gearhulk or Skysovereign, Consul Flagship? Or just drop the slot entirely, in favor of more four-drops?
  • Not sure how many Flyers are in your meta, but in a world with UW Flash and Smuggler's Copter, it can be hard to keep Arlinn Kord  Flip alive long enough to do any good. For whatever reason, there are very few Flyers atm at my favorite LGS, but I started the season with a bunch of Flyerhate in my mainboard, plus a couple Copters of my own. Maybe something to keep in mind ...

Finally, I recommend dropping by the All things Wolven thread sometime and posting your deck. I'd love to be able to add this to the Hall of Fame sometime!

Draw well!

While Arlinn Kord  Flip is vulnerable to fliers, her (frontside) +1 combined with Howlpack Resurgence & Ulrich of the Krallenhorde  Flip is a pretty nasty combination. Nice to see your wolves coming along nicely!

Was Waxing Moon not worth it for you anymore? I'm curious to hear your opinion on it since I also run wolves in standard

Waxing Moon for me is best used on Geier Reach Bandit  Flip. I love being able to flip it on my opponents end step and drop in ulrich and auto transform him. I don't think my wolves would be even remotely effective without it. Kessig Forgemaster  Flip is the other target is usually hit with it as a combat trick.

Hi again mate :)

Arlinn Kord  Flip is pretty nice and potentailly powerful and her ult is just awesome but since she can't even survive 1 turn her +1 (+2/+2, vigilance and haste) is not worth

I exchanged Waxing Moon for spells like Blossoming Defense and Rush of Adrenaline but I can't say that this experiment has been successful — will return Waxing Moon to the mainboard again
