Naya CoCo Pups:
This is a werewolf deck that features EMN cards (yay) and white. I think RG and Mono green wolves are missing the potential Dromoka's Command gives them, pretty much like a more versatile
Moonlight Hunt
. Its also worth mentioning this isnt my deck idea, its actually off of the MTG Salvation Forums, you should go check it out: http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/standard-type-2/deck-creation-standard/711722-naya-werewolves?page=1
Anyways, on with the deck!
1 Drops: In the one drop section, we have
Kessig Prowler
. Now, this was fighting
Village Messenger
for the 1 drop slot, but since its a green creature it makes the manabase easier. Its a good 2 power 1 drop that has the ability to become
Sinuous Predator
when we have open mana (Which we will, since we dont want to be casting too many spells on our turn).
2 Drops:In the two drop section, we have three cards. Were running the obvious Duskwatch Recruiter
, which lets us search for creatures and lets us cast creatures for cheaper. Hes also a werewolf, so Howlpack Resurgence is great as well. The other 2 drop werewolf is
Lambholt Pacifist
. The Pacifist is a great 2 drop, but were not looking to play her on turn two unless we have to. Duskwatch Recruiter
is a much better turn two play. However, it is a 3/3 on turn 2 (great blocker), and we can use Dromoka's Command to trigger it and fight a creature. There is also the previously mentioned Dromoka's Command. This is the only white spell in the deck, but its well worth the inclusion of white, as it triggers
Lambholt Pacifist
and is our only form of removal.
3 Drops:In the three drop slot, we have
Geier Reach Bandit
. This guy is the all star of the deck. While it adds immediate pressure on turn 3 (3 damage plus our 1/2 drop), thats not what we run it for. The real deal is being able to flip our werewolves whenever. This works especially well with Collected Company, as we can drop two wolves down on the end of our opponents turn (Doesnt cause the previous wolves to flip) and we can auto flip them. Talk about pressure! We also have
Spirit of the Hunt
, a great new addition from Eldritch Moon. He lets our wolves survive through both Grasp of Darkness and Languish, and adds a 3/3 body to the table. What more could you ask for? Howlpack Resurgence is an auto include, being a very effective combat trick and just buffing our wolves in general. Now we have the least impactful card of the deck, Silverfur Partisan. But dont be fooled by least impactful, as hes still awesome, giving a great combo with Dromoka's Command if you choose two different targets for the abilities. More pups!
4 Drops:Were only running 1 one drop, and I know everyone will hate me for this, but its Collected Company. Yup, its the CoCo. However, were not looking to pull any Reflector Mage BS, all we want to do is put two wolves onto the table without flipping the rest of our wolves. And, it also has the previous mentioned synergy with
Geier Reach Bandit
.
Manabase:This is a pretty standard Naya Manabase, however I do need some help as it feels really clunky right now. Suggestions are welcome!
Ideas:I would love to run both
Arlinn Kord
and Ulrich of the Krallenhorde
, but I couldnt find any room for them. However, I found out Dromoka's Command and Ulrich of the Krallenhorde
work particularly well with each other, especially with
Geier Reach Bandit
as we can bring in Ulrich, +4+4 him, flip him, +4+4 him, and have him fight any creature in the format and win. That even beats Emrakul! Now, I would also love to run this with Eldritch Evolution, turing one of our 24 3 drops into him, and then playing and flipping him to fight on turn 4-ish. If you guys can help me fit this combo in, that would be awesome!
Please comment if you have any suggestions or ideas!
