My first attempt at a werewolf deck. Updated for EMN. There are different ways it can do a turn 4 kill, assuming the opponent can't put up a defence in time. For the first example play would go something like:

T1: Play Village Messenger  , swing for 1

T2: Play Quilled Wolf, swing for 1

T3: Play Silverfur Partisan, swing for 3

T4: Play Dual Shot targeting Silverfur Partisan and Quilled Wolf to put 2 wolf tokens into play. Cast Reckless Bushwhacker for surge cost. Swing for 17. Plus if you happen to have Might of the Masses you can cast that too before the bushwhacker and end up swinging for 25. Under ideal circumstances this deck can produce a maximum damage output of 36 by turn 4.

An alternate turn 4 kill could be: T1: Mountain, Village Messenger  , swing for 1.

T2: Forest, Duskwatch Recruiter, swing for 1.

T3: Forest, no play, swing for 3, flip werewolves, flash Spirit of the Hunt in opponent's turn.

T4: Play land, play Zada, Hedron Grinder for 3 with Krallenhorde Howler  , target zada with Might of the Masses to give all creatures +4/+4, swing for 20.

The combos in this deck revolve around Silverfur Partisan and a weakness is that he can be removed pretty easily. Ranger's Guile would really have helped here. Unfortunately, at 3 CMC Woodcutter's Grit is going to be pretty useless.

Silverfur Partisan + Zada, Hedron Grinder can put out a stupid number of tokens, but it takes at least one extra turn to pull off. Someone else on here had a deck with that combo, but I lost the link so unfortunately can't credit the source.

Since EMN release, I added the obligatory Mirrorwing Dragon and got a foil Ulrich of the Krallenhorde, which I added too because I like the card - not that the latter has the best synergy.

Borrowed Hostility is a quirky card, while at face value seems pants, has flexibility with this deck. If zada or mirrorwing is in play, you target it with one or both modes; however, if you only have Silverfur Partisan you can target 1 wolf for +3 and another for first strike, providing 2 tokens.

Suggestions welcome.
