This deck has evolved quite a bit from my "Gruul Werewolves" that it started out as.

It's pretty simple to use; get your werewolves out, flip them using Moonmist or Aether Vial or your opponent's unfortunate turn when they can't play anything, and beat them down with your creatures that are getting buffed from all over the place.

Why each card is used

Creatures

---

Geier Reach Bandit  : Haste on the front, automatic transform for other werewolves on the back.

Immerwolf: Keeps my werewolves from transforming back plus buffs.

Kruin Outlaw  : First strike or double strike and makes blocking my werewolves trickier.

Mayor of Avabruck  : Main source of early and even late buffing. The tokens are great for blocking and/or attacking, especially when they get buffed.

Silverfur Partisan: 2/2 trampler that can still get buffed even though it's not a werewolf and a refund for my creatures getting removed.

Village Messenger  : 1 drop that is good early game and still valid late game.

Artifacts

---

Aether Vial: I can drop some creatures for free without casting a spell, allowing my werewolves to transform. Very good and important.

Planeswalkers

---

Arlinn Kord  : Great buffs, tokens, lightning bolt and very nice ult (and she's a werewolf too).Domri Rade: Card advantage, removal, and nice buffs if you get the ult off.

Instants

---

Atarka's Command: Lots of utility.

Gruul Charm: Situational unblockable and burn and a "Gimme my stuff back!"

Moonlight Hunt: Removal with the ability to hit really hard.

Moonmist: Pretty much essential in this deck.

Lands

---

Cavern of Souls: Anti-counter.

Fire-Lit Thicket: Mana fixing.

Forest:Mana base, Wooded Foothills target.

Karplusan Forest Mana fixing and, in this case, I personally prefer it to card:Stomping Grounds.

Kessig Wolf Run: Buff and it fits pretty nice flavor-wise. Possible game finisher.

Mountain: Mana base, Wooded Foothills target.

Wooded Foothills (KTK): Deck thinning and mana fixing.

Sideboard will hopefully be developed as I learn what the local meta is.

I'm hoping to make this deck pretty much as competitive as I can while staying with the theme and hopefully not breaking the budget too much. Suggestions, feedback, and advice are all very welcome!

Thanks!
