Deck Information

Tolsimir, Wolf-Slinger

Summary

Commander Selesnya {G}/{W}
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6918962#paper
You are a green mage - Your mission is to cast a furry of spells to destroy your opponents.
The deck is designed to play as a control deck, NOT wolf a typical tribal. This is one of the pitfalls I see around deck construction.

General

Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves {2}{G}{G}{W}
Oracle Text
When Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves enters the battlefield, create Voja, Friend to Elves, a legendary 3/3 green and white Wolf creature token.
Whenever a Wolf enters the battlefield under your control, you gain 3 life and that creature fights up to one target creature you don't control.

Commander Pro et Contra

Pros

Solid Stats

Built in Removal & Lifegain

Really fun, opponents won't know what you're up to

Cons

Weak combat damage

Flying creatures are a challenge to overcome

All the best counter spells are in {U}

Pile of many token cards are required to play this deck

Play Testing

Dog Days

Update: 2024-11-17
Added Emancipation Angel to the list as another card that can draw the entire library with Aluren and Tribute to the World Tree

Update: 2024-11-16
41 Flash / Instant Speed Spells
In the never ending pursuit to make a high-power wolf deck that has no right being in the 8.5 - 10 power level pod the deck is starting to hit it's ceiling.
Reprieve, Mana VaultGC, Teferi's Protection, Sylvan Tutor, Esper Sentinel & Manglehorn are some of the considerations.

Win Condition & Combo

WHO LET THE WOLVES OUT?

Combo A
Aluren with Cloudstone Curio and Ferocious Pup.
Infinite tokens
Infinite LTB
Infinite ETB

Combo B
Aluren with Fleetfoot Panther or Stonecloaker or Whitemane Lion.
Infinite LTB
Infinite ETB

Pay-Offs
Oltec Matterweaver
Radagast the Brown
Spirited Companion
Aetherflux Reservoir

Back-up Plan
The Book of Exalted Deeds with Mutavault or Faceless Haven
Take out your opponents in combat while having a Platinum Angel land before your opponents finds a Strip Mine.

Devoted Druid with Swift Reconfiguration
Let me know when you find something spicy to do with the infinite {G} mana.

Card Considerations

Chopping Block

Master of the Wild Hunt - OUT
Cemetery Prowler - IN

Master of the Wild Hunt produces token wolves however doesn't work with combo A+B.
Cemetery Prowler works with combo A+B as a castable spell, provides more graveyard hate and cost reduction.

Missing from the Pack

Not the Flashiest Friends

Cemetery Prowler
Ambush Wolf
Briarpack Alpha
Pack Guardian
Spirit of the Hunt
Wolfir Avenger

These wolves are synergistic with the Lightning Helix type control Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves is looking for.

If you like wolves, please upvote this list - It would be greatly appreciated.
