On first test this works very well.
Howlpack Resurgence was excellent. I was basically spamming Arlinn Kord Flip's first ability on Lupine Prototype and that mixture got lots of damage through.
The number of lands worries me a little bit. I'll see how that goes in the next few tests.

Didn't know the bandit was a woman, made some changes there.
Made updates in general.

Would you let a snake in with the wolves? Noose Constrictor clears your hand at your leisure and maybe look at Scourge Wolf if you can dump into delirium.

I thought hard about Scourge Wolf, but the RR cost makes him risky. Snake is a possibility.

I've got it! Take out Lightning axe and put in a set of Prey Upon its a better combo with Otherworldy and gives more value to the 5/5, then drop the Resurgence to put Pacifist back in(getting more value from prey upon. Should shift you from slow aggro to quick midrange control Rabid Bite is safer but more expensive.

Forgot to put down my other play testing results.
Number of lands seems fine never got mana screwed in any of my tests.
Deck works well.
+1 from me.

I've thought about Prey Upon and Rabid Bite, but they're nothing unless you have a creature out. Lightning Axe is five damage when you need it, plus it allows you to discard something you don't need, say an extra land or what have you to activate the robowolves faster. I get what you're saying, but using a prey upon + otherworldly + creature also leaves you at a huge card disadvantage - plus it requires more pieces to work. Since we have no card drawing and rely on Duskwatch Recruiter Flip to get us critters, we need to try and be as card efficient as possible. I also want to include more Cryptolith Rite as I've found it invaluable for getting activations on the Recruiter as well as activating Shrill Howler Flip and Kessig Prowler.

I didn't consider the discard from Lightning Axe a bonus. I see what it adds now. How was your sideboard? Feels like Waxing Moon would be critical to pushing the wolves ahead of a taller board. Would Crumble to Dust turn 3 or 4 have slowed down the vamps much?

I've included Ulrich and Waxing Moon in the sideboard now, though mostly to play against slower decks. Even then, I'm not sure about Ulrich.
Vampire decks can work on few lands, just as this one can. Unless you managed to remove his only red or black mana source, all you'd be doing is thinning his deck for him if you used Crumble to Dust. The card could be useful if you think you're going to be playing a lot of decks that use Westvale Abbey Flip as one of their win conditions, for example, but otherwise Crumble costs too much for what it does.

bobcharles,
Very cool to see a playable Robowolf deck!
You might want to post this on the All things Wolven thread sometime, just to spread the word.
Draw well!

Geier Reach Bandit Flip is female, according to the flavour text.
Although "retarded" is a commonly used term, be aware that it can be very offensive to people who have family members that are mentally challenged.
Your description is VERY good. Clear tips on how to play and good reasoning behind your card choices. I'm going to playtest this right now.
