Werewolf Tribal Deck. Ulrich of the Krallenhorde   is the only choice for the commander in my mind. I wanted to stay on theme as much as possible while making sure the deck both functions and has my own unique twist on how it operates.

I'd love your opinion on this deck. My biggest concern is that I pushed too hard in the "cheat into play" direction to the point where I'd be better off going full aggro

Quick Primer

Strong Tribal Theme

For the support cards I tried to fit in as many tribal cards as possible.

• Full Moon's Rise
• Howlpack Resurgence
• Kessig Wolf Run
• Stensia Masquerade
• Waxing Moon
• Moonmist
• Ancient Grudge
• Moonlight Hunt
• Setessan Tactics
• Arlinn Kord  
• Hunter's Insight
• Cult of the Waxing Moon

Make sure we transform

One of the strategies of this deck is to get creatures into play without casting so that we can transform them without losing steam. We also have ways to punish our opponents if they're casting

Cheats

• Hibernation's End
• Lurking Predators / Mondronen Shaman  
• Oracle of Mul Daya
• Into the Wilds
• Quicksilver Amulet
• Pyxis of Pandemonium - Fun interactive card that we should be able to capitalize on more than our opponents
• Mosswort Bridge / Spinerock Knoll
• Vildin-Pack Alpha   and Immerwolf - not really "cheats" but they help keep our werewolves on the right half of the card
• Winding Canyons - allows you to pass your turn to transform, then cast on an opponent's turn
• Waxing Moon / Moonmist

Topdeck Manipulation

These cards offer value on their own but synergize well with the "Cheats" section

• Scroll Rack
• Sensei's Divining Top
• Sylvan Library
• Mirri's Guile
• Crystal Ball
• Lifecrafter's Bestiary
• Path of Ancestry - (Tapped out bug - Scry 1 when you cast a Human or Werewolf creature spell)

Potential Adds

Cards that I would really like in the deck but I can't see what to take out

• Prey Upon - Theme
• Fires of Yavimaya - Theme
• Savage Alliance - Theme
• Alpha Brawl - Theme
• Rabid Bite - Theme
• Vandalblast
• Beastmaster Ascension
• Slate of Ancestry - refilling our hand without casting could be powerful
• Noxious Revival - Casting during an opponent's end step to set the top deck for one of our triggers
• Verdant Confluence
• Feed the Pack
• Guild Feud
• Maybeboard is the rest of the werewolves

Notable Exclusions

Borderline

• Call of the Wild - Can end up being a nonbo without the topdeck manipulation pieces. The other "cheats" are at least passive
• Impromptu Raid / Killer Instinct - I dislike the sacrifice at the end in this deck
• Descendants' Path - problem here is it forces you to cast
• card:Ruric Thar - His ability is obviously awesome in this deck but it felt too out of place
• Beast Within / Chaos Warp - Classic removal cards but lets see how the thematic approach works first
• Cream of the Crop - Functions similar to Crystal Ball but less reliable
• Belbe's Portal - The problem here is that the creature base isn't overwhelmingly one type.
• Cryptic Gateway - Same as above
