I'm really torn on this one. This is the 3rd pack that we've seen Hunger of the Howlpack, which is a great instant for our deck with so many creatures, but we'll probably see a few more before all things are said and done.
Evolving Wilds would fix our colors, and having a fetch land available in standard/constructed again is just awesome.
We've already drafted Full Moon's Rise, and we only have 1 werewolf in our deck. So I'm starting to think about the Hermit to get use out of FMR, except I don't think the Hermit is that good except as a decoy when you have enough other creatures to deal lethal damage. But at the rate we're seeing decent werewolves, we are going to sideboard FMR. There is still another set of packs to come, though.
Since we can and probably will sideboard FMR unless we see some sweet werewolves in the next set of packs, I'm going to have to go with Evolving Wilds. Nothing says, "Don't worry; I've got this," when you have a hand full of white spells and green lands that usually you'd mulligan, except one card is a fetch land! We gotta take it, especially if we're splashing red.

I think Evolving Wilds would be excellent, we are running three colors (it seems) so it will be appreciated.

I think we take Evolving Wilds here. If we do decide to go tri-color, we NEED that card. We're about to see another Hunger of the Howlpack before the end of this pack so no worries there. I can justify taking more red bodies and removal I w have it.

I think Evolving Wilds is far too good of a color fixing, mana smoothing ability to pass up on it here. Especially since we want to splash red. Imo the wilds gets the vote.

Sorry I haven't been able to reply lately. Like what has happened to the deck so far. I will agree with Evolving Wilds

7-2 in favor of wilds. I'll leave it open just a little while longer.

Tonight I ran w/g with a red flashback cost. I ran one mountain and one evolving wilds, and never once was I colored screwed. Evolving Wilds is a must.

There's some really good stuff in this pack...for decks other than ours. There's a blue/black deck or two downwind of us that will like this.
Evolving Wilds is a good card, and and mana fixing is always a good thing. That's my vote. (Though the Stalker is tempting; he's deceptively very industrious, especially in an aggressive deck like ours.)

I think we can afford a good spell and in my opinion Hunger of the Howlpack is a pretty solid choice. It works REALLY well with undying, either to deny an enemy undying creature their chance to come back, or to radically pump one of our own guys who has died for the greater good. A Young Wolf that goes from a 1/1 to a 5/5 on turn 2 is pretty nice, for example.
If not that then we'll be expanding our red portfolio. I'd go to the Nearheath Stalker rather than the hermit. It's nice to have a big creature now and then, and we're on the small end of power right now. We have exactly two critters that hit the table with more than 2 power. I'm voting for the Hunger.
