Perhaps Immerwolf has a place in this deck. Allowing for your werewolves to not transform back could be of a great use in my opinion. Zealous Conscripts is only good for sacing to the Falkenrath Aristocrat however a 5 cost sac would be a bit extreme for just a +1/+1 on it.

@Mythimine You want Huntmaster to flip. His amazingness comes from constantly going flip: Wolf, +2 Life, to flip: 2 damage, 2 damage. Having an Immerwolf in here could actually hurt more than it is. Conscripts- "Only good for sacing". No. That is so wrong. The ability of Conscripts is to come in, steal an opponents permanent, possibly even Planeswalker (Emblem off Tamiyo, anyone?) and using them to hurt your opponent.

My apologies, forgot about the Huntmaster. I am also not a fan of the Conscripts so i tend to be against it in a lot of decks

If there was an instant speed creature steal like Act of Aggression in standard I would have switched Zealous Conscripts out for it. I am looking for an instant spell to replace her with to help my Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip flip more. I may have to wait for gate crash though.

Thanks for your guys' input

Bonfire of the Damned is a nice way to deal with aggro; Pillar of Flame , Searing Spear , and Mizzium Mortars are also good for spot removal (so is brimstone volley, it just depends on what you see in your meta. Annihilating Fire would be another option for dem pesky zombies. Zealous Conscripts is a good card that can wreck the game state, but if you were looking for some reach maybe Thundermaw Hellkite would be a better bet.

I would not suggest using Annihilating Fire and instead would put in Pillar of Flame It costs 1cmc and basically knocks out every problem undying creature out there. If the undying decks are really running over you this much then put in a card:Grafdigger's Cage That will stop alot of their shenanigans. I would also suggest putting in Wolfir Silverheart he is a powerhouse and if you have 5 mana on turn 3 I don't see many other cards in your deck that have the staying power he does. I do like how your deck runs and is definetly one of the better werewolf decks I have seen. +1 frome me.

@Wolfsage13 Bonfire of the Damned is definitely a good idea. I will add 2 to my sideboard when I get them. Or do you think I might need 3? I do like Thundermaw Hellkite but not enough to get him at 40 bucks a pop lol.

@omen37 I use to have Pillar of Flame in here but I have been using Brimstone Volley I haven't had trouble with things like undying or Gravecrawler it's rakdos rush with some zombies and a white blue human deck that have been getting the better if me. I have been looking at Wolfir Silverheart but what would you recommend me taking out for him? Thank you.

I would personally take out Falkenrath Aristocrat you do not benefit from sacrificing creatures in general except if you happen to have a Brimstone Volley in hand. I think of it like this when it comes down to the contest between Falkenrath Aristocrat and Wolfir Silverheart Silverheart powers up your other creatures and creates a threat that is very hard to respond to and deadly if they do not respond to it. While Falkenrath Aristocrat is a good card I don't think it is a good card for this deck, the sacrificing detracts from your deck since your creatures are strong and not just chumps to be sacrificed at will.

To beat the WU human deck and the Rakdos rush it simply comes down to disrupting their tempo with a threat they cannot answer and then moving from that to creating a threat that ultimately stops their tempo. An example for this would be casting Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip to gain 2 life and create 2 blockers, this might make them waste a spell on Huntmaster and cause them to miss a few damage because the 2/2 wolf is still there, then you hit a land drop and hard cast a Bonfire of the Damned to wipe their field of everything except maybe a Hellrider or a beefed up Stromkirk Noble in which case you have reached a point where you have board control and you have a chance to create your own tempo at that point. This is an example and a pretty ideal situation.

omen37 Ok though Falkenrath Aristocrat was my answer for angels which a lot of people play at the store here, but with Wolfir Silverheart I should just be able to over power them then? Would you still think morbid would still be viable in here or should I switch out my Tragic Slip and Brimstone Volley s?

I think I will run Mizzium Mortars until I can trade someone for some Bonfire of the Damned s.

Thanks for you input.

Falkenrath Aristocrat is an o shit card. They either calmly motion for you to move it from the field into your graveyard, or they frown at their hand and you've got a lovely 5 turn clock on the field. Miracles like Bonfire of the Damned are always really just based on what your personal preference is. I run three in my 4 color deck, granted the only time I draw miracles is turn 2 -.-.

Any specific reason you're running Ultimate Price over Dreadbore ?

January 16, 2013 4:17 p.m.

xantastic says... #16

Is it the instant speed or colors?

January 16, 2013 4:18 p.m.

Itoshii says... #17

xantastic Instant speed to help werewolves flip. Still mulling over if I should switch to Ultimate Price I am still running Tragic Slip s from when I still had Falkenrath Aristocrat s in here.

Side board is still a work in progress here.

Well, I love the deck. I've always been a fan of werewolf decks, and this one runs really well. +1 for sure

xantastic Thank you very much.

Why did you narrow your werewolf pool to the selected werewolves you currently have? Why not use Instigator Gang  Flip or Wolfbitten Captive  Flip ?

January 17, 2013 1:51 p.m.

Itoshii says... #21

Vos_Is_Boss I use to run Wolfbitten Captive  Flip but his pump ability was just too expensive when I had other things I needed to cast and found that most if the time he was pumped only to save himself. The only time he would make a difference was when he was a turn one drop which almost always would cost 2 life and it just wasn't worth it. He just wasn't enough in here. Don't get me wrong he is a great card just feel he wasn't doing well in here.

I don't like Instigator Gang  Flip that much with the few creatures I run in here and I don't think he would do very well with me always flipping my creatures back and forth.

The reason I have no sorceries in here is because the instant speed helps me to control when my werewolves flip. This is were I get a lot of my power from. Immerwolf would completely stop them from flipping.

In my Aggro wolves I do use all of those suggestions though.
