Tiny Leaders seemed like it might lend itself to tribal quite well. So a while back I looked at the idea of building a trial werewolf deck. My ideas lead me to choosing between Naya and RUG. These color combinations opened me up to Arcane Laboratory and Rule of Law which play quite nicely with the flipped side's multiple spell rule, increasing the chances of my werewolves running amok. Since white had a second effect (Eidolon of Rhetoric), I decided to go with it. Suddenly, Marath, Will of the Wild was a fan of werewolves.

At the time, the selection of werewolves was slim. The Tiny Leaders format means we lose out on all-stars like Huntmaster of the Fells  , but we still had some good, solid options. Of course things like Mayor of Avabruck   would make the cut. But even a 1 drop like Reckless Waif   can start swinging in for 3 if the opponent sits idle for a turn. But then Shadows Over Innistrad was announced. And released. And now? We will never run short of werewolves again. Lucky us.

So with a creature package so easy to build from, it was just a matter of finding the support cards. Of course, the aforementioned Rule of Law is a cornerstone of the deck. Cards like Moonmist , Full Moon's Rise and Howlpack Resurgence were made for decks like this. Another thing white does is give us access to solid removal options like Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile. And you know what all those cards have in common? They all love Isochron Scepter. And so do I.

A few more support cards, and voila! Thems some tiny werewolves.

Any advice, suggestions and comments are always welcome. I usually overlook something obvious, so just tell me how dumb I am when you see it. Also, I've considered adding something like Trinisphere to help keep the spell count down and my creatures on the aggressive. Is that worth it? Build-wise and Money-wise?

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and taking a look. Gimme the ol' swipe right if you like what you see. Wait, wrong place. I meant +1. Yea, that one...
