So yeah, I’ve been a tad quiet lately. So here’s an older deck of mine, if only to break the silence.
Wolves, while not the most cohesive creature type, happen to be my favorite. A few years back, after getting sick of a Goblin tribal made of anything lying around, I decided to put together something full of creatures I’d enjoy looking at.
When I originally assembled the deck, I had a couple ground rules: It had to have at least one of every in-color wolf in the deck, the critters being the theme and all; And in order to curve any future pursuits of foil cards, any “blinging up” I did had to be restricted to this deck. I feel that I’ve been faithful to both rules, but after the newer wolves in recent sets (which I haven’t updated the deck with yet), I’ve since decided to improve the deck, moving those that don’t make the cut into a display portion of my trade binder. So in other words, this’ll be the “before” list.
Wolves!
—Land (23)—
12 Forest
7 Plains
2 Graypelt Refuge
2 Temple Garden
—Creatures (27)—
1 Arctic Wolves
1 Dire Wolves
3 Howling Wolf
4 Lone Wolf
1 Master of the Wild Hunt
1 Rot Wolf
4 Sacred Wolf
1 Tel-Jilad Wolf
1 Timber Wolves
1 Tolsimir Wolfblood
2 Tundra Wolves
4 Watchwolf
2 Wyluli Wolf
1 Young Wolf
—Noncreatures (10)—
3 Alpha Status
1 Aspect of Wolf
1 Fable of Wolf and Owl
1 Howl of the Night Pack
4 Sound the Call
You can already see the disparity with what I like and don’t like to see in play. Master of the Wild aside, of course. Currently the main win condition of the deck tends to be an Alpha Status on a Lone Wolf or Sacred Wolf, which then dispenses a beatdown. Speaking of Lone Wolf…
Blurriness aside, that’s probably the pride of my collection right there. Particularly the top left one.
Until next time!
