An Aggro werewolf deck that uses only Innistrad block and M13 cards for Flavor Purposes (also, since M12 and Scars of Mirrodin will be rotated out soon). I based this on the Team Pavlov deck by Shrodinger then added more red werewolves, sacrificing the control for a more aggressive play. Planning to buy this deck for FNMs near my place (I didn't have money to buy mtg cards back then so had to resort to online play)

Please be respectful when posting comments. This is clearly not an all-powerful deck, but at least be more constructive with your feedback. This deck hasn't seen much action so there's plenty of room for improvement.

Does it work?

• So far, won 7 out of 10 matches in MWS standard
• Most were won 2-1 (the first game is almost always a loss)
• Only won 2-0 a couple of times.
• Match losses were mostly 0-2 (hard countered like a bitch).

Main Problems/Weaknesses

• Fares poorly against White humans/flyers/artifacts during first game (switching cards from sideboard usually wins the next two games, but white human decks are still difficult to deal with)
• Late Full Moon's Rise means no answer against early Ratchet Bomb
• Black Sun's Zenith
• infect deck murders lords and poison counters are evil

Mainboard

• Typical aggro werewolf strategy: get Reckless Waif   and Mayor of Avabruck   , flip them on turn three if possible
• Ranger's Guile provides limited protection against early removal, while Moonmist helps transform later creatures and/or prevent damage from infect/more aggressive play
• Full Moon's Rise for trample and limited protection against mass removal
• Descendants' Path is not a must, but it can help bring out more expensive creatures earlier
• Rancor and Revenge of the Hunted for pumping creatures if there's trouble bringing out Mayor of Avabruck   / Immerwolf / Instigator Gang  
• Bonfire of the Damned for direct damage and creature control

Sideboard

• Ancient Grudge and Naturalize for artifact-heavy decks
• Daybreak Ranger   for dealing with flyers
• Geistflame and Pillar of Flame for Nasty 1 drops like Delver of Secrets  
• Fog for delaying Infect/Poison decks

Maybeboard

• I'm thinking of putting back the Wolfir Avenger s so i can still bring out a creature despite skipping turn 3 to flip Mayor of Avabruck   and Reckless Waif   as soon as possible

• Scorned Villagers can be used to boost Bonfire of the Damned

• I may also switch Descendants' Path with Triumph of Ferocity

• Replacing 2x Reckless Waif   with Wolfbitten Captive   or replace all 4 of them
• Curse of Stalked Prey (no idea if this will work)

a few cards in the maybeboard are alternative cards (since these cards are expensive IRL and I might have to settle for cheaper alternatives while i save up for the others)

• Geistflame / Pillar of Flame / Brimstone Volley - for Bonfire of the Damned
• Forest and Mountain - for Cavern of Souls since they're so expensive

*also thinking of doing away with Kessig Wolf Run and replacing it with basic lands since there's so many options to pump creatures already and the mana can be used for spells
