Hello everyone,

Back in the day I read like a 400 page thread when werewolves were in standard up and down trying to get deck ideas.

I figured I had thought of all the angles, but now I'm thinking of messing with a selesnya build to abuse white tech with our green wolves. In particular the interaction between Eerie Interlude and Silverfur Partisan,as well as dodging boardwipes which destroy WWs imo.

The most aggro build I have come up with after years of tinkering is here:

Here my take on werewolves:

Werewolves of the old innistrad are good, the new ones are just weak. the new werewolves focus too much on the day side, and for balance reasons their night sides are just weaker.
Sadly this makes both faces just OK, and that is not enough in modern.

Now that is out of the way, what can make the tribe viable (werewolves must flip, and stay on the night side):
- Either we need to limit to need to limit the number of spells that can be cast with thing like Ethersworn Canonist, Rule of Law... etc.
- Or put cards in play, with things like Birthing Pod(its sadly banned), AEther Vial - however at least playset of such permanents is desirable (or some effect to tutor them early)

I just put together a red/green agro wolves (not werewolves, just wolves) modern deck yesterday. I still need to get the actual cards together, but I've started testing it playing my brother online using a computer program.

Wildblood Pack  Flip >> Neck Breaker  Flip

Immerwolf can only be present as a 4 of, and has the problem of being kille by all the removal :/

Thanks clayperce for the awesome thread and werewolf resources! currently brewing my first werewolf deck and stumbled upon this thread :D definitely will add this thread in my deck description!

My question to my fellow werewolf brewers is what is the general consensus/opinion on Instant speed spells support/utility spells such Lightning Bolt or Destructive Revelry versus using permanents with similar effects such as Seal of Fire or Seal of Primordium?

also with staying in colors anyone have suggestions similar to Trinisphere to reduce and or punish opponents for casting multiple spells?

Y'all probably know this, but I wanted to post this article about CoCo just in case.

TL;DR: "I'd want 22 hittable creatures at the very least before putting Collected Company in my main deck. This gives a 5% chance of missing completely, a 21% probability of hitting one creature, and a 74% probability of hitting two creatures."

Hey Y'all. Still working on this all wolf//no-were tribal. Here's its latest incarnation. Would love some feedback.

Wolf Gang

Basically just a trample deck with elements of token production and removal.

Just found this thread and since I've been playing werewolves all the way back when they came out in the original Innistrad, I believe it's about time I found somewhere to post the current build for my deck.

This was my crown jewel for a while before delving deeply into standard. Could you guys give me some pointers as to how to improve this deck? Thank you!

Indexxical,
It's a minor point, but not everyone on this thread is a guy. And sure, "guys" in a gender-neutral term in a lot of places ... but not everywhere. :-)

Thanks!

I am working on a Humans deck with a small Werewolves subtheme. Would love some advice from my fellow wolves.

Happy Supermoon!

to include a playset of the new Metallic Mimic and an upgraded sideboard that's now less budget friendly. Comments and suggestions of all kinds are appreciated.

I'm wondering if anyone else has toyed with Aggressive Urge, Expedite (and other cantripping instants) and the explore card Enter the Unknown.

With the Zadafur combo (Zada, Hedron Grinder and Silverfur Partisan), you can draw a lot of cards and play out all the lands to repeat the process.
