Chump blockers like
Village Messenger
,
Ember-Eye Wolf
and Duskwatch Recruiter
buy time- eventually building up to the Zada, Hedron Grinder + Silverfur Partisan combo firing off for multiple Wolf tokens, which when combined with Expedite can easily be drawing 5-6 cards by turn 5. Duskwatch Recruiter
's creature digging ability is like an Impulse when timed right, which is just mad.
Geier Reach Bandit
's flipped "optional Wolf Transformation" ability is actually worth not casting spells during your own turn in order for her to transform in your opponent's upkeep.
Using Duskwatch Recruiter
's or
Ember-Eye Wolf
's abilities mean you can actually use mana for something during that turn and play a land - so it's not like you have to skip a turn or something else game-losing.
The Zadafur combo is howlingly good fun but the combo is hard to maintain with Languish and other hater-type cards out there.
Sylvan Scrying and Westvale Abbey
is the actual win-con of the deck. My LGS had playsets of Sylvan Scryings in the 10 cent box so props going out to them.
The 2x
Might of the Masses
are there for Ormendahl, Profane Prince
. In one game against White Weenie even after saccing 5 Wolf TokensOrmendahl, Profane Prince
swung in for 33 damage turn 6...and that's with lifelink.
If you are on a budget this fun deck be tight and it can even take down more expensive decks like Bund Company (if you can get your flow on.)
The most expensive card is Westvale Abbey
and you only need the one copy...meaning even the most broke MTG player out there can borrow a tenner off a mate and pick one up. Alternatively, if you be a Baller - get out there grindin' for a 1x foil version.
