Immerwolf

Asked by Lirisa 3 years ago

Hi, I'm very new to Magic: The Gathering. My boyfriend wants me to build a deck by myself. I think I have an idea for a deck, but I'm having trouble understanding one of the interactions. Thanks for the help in advance!

||Immerwolf || has an effect listed as "Non-human werewolves you control can't transform."

There is a card Mayor of Avabruk which is listed as a "Creature- Human Advisor Werewolf"

Meaning Mayor of Avabruk can transform while I have Immerwolf since he is a human werewolf.

Howlpack Alpha ,the card Mayor of Avabruk transforms, to is listed as "Creature - werewolf"

Does this mean that since Howlpack Alpha doesn't have the keyword human as long as Immerwolf is on the field Howlpack Alpha can't be transformed?

There were other cards like this, but this card was the first card I could think of. As I thought it would be highly syngerstic with Immerwolf giving a +1/+1 to wolves and werewolves, Howlpack Alpha giving a +1/1 to wolves and werewolves, and it also can create another 2/2 wolf token which would just with Howlpack Alpha and Immerwolf would make the token 4/4.

Basically, my question is if the card doesn't say it is a 'human werewolf' does that mean it is a Non-human werewolf?

Howlpack Alpha will not transform as long as you control Immerwolf.

For something to be "non-Human", you look at its creature types and see if "Human" is one of them. If "Human" is not there, it is "non-Human". In the case of the Howlpack, "Human" is not one of its creature types, so Immerwolf will stop it from transforming should it try to.

Hope this helps!!

All that immerwolf does is stop your werewolves from transforming back to humans. Once they change, they do not change back.
