The front side of Ballista Watcher is pretty bad: sure, you can pick off a random utility creature like Birds of Paradise, but you have to spend 3 mana and tap it, not great. Next are the 4-drops, which are pretty crowded in Werewolf Tribal. Still, having additional mana dorks isn't bad, especially when they have the right creature type to benefit from our tribal synergies. Weaver of Blossoms is basically a bad Scorned Villager, coming out a turn later and while it's a bigger creature it doesn't have vigilance. Either way it's a solid way to put some damage through and get more wolves on the battlefield - good for a 3-drop. I'm expecting it'll only make 1 wolf per cycle, but I could be undervaluing it. The power ceiling can be quite high though, making up to 3 wolf tokens per turn cycle is very nice. Howling Moon comes with a very low power floor of just giving a single creature +2/+2 each combat, not even trample. It's true utility is its cute factor: what cold-hearted monster would kill a Pup? Either it survives and finishes off your opponents, or it dies and you go John Wick on its killer. It's a 2-drop that starts off as a 1/1 and comes with no evasion or meaningful utility, but it grows into a noticeable threat and helps us curve into Tovolar.

The first is the goodest lil' boi, Packsong Pup. I will start with the betas, the alphas, and then the coveted packleader, my pick for best Werewolf card from the set:įirst are the cards that I'll happily run in a lower budget version of the deck: they fit nicely with the deck's game plan of beating our opponents into submission with combat damage, either by coming down early to start drawing cards off Tovolar, Dire Overlord, or providing some nice utility to our tribe. So here's a mini-update ranking all the best new cards from the set for Werewolf Tribal under Tovolar, Dire Overlord along with my reasons why. But fortunately for us, that wasn't the end of the Werewolf Tribal support cards this year! Innistrad: Crimson Vow has just come out and despite being a Vampire themed set, the sweet Werewolf hits keep coming, enough to warrant a new update to my primer! Back when Innistrad: Midnight Hunt was released, I made a huge update to my Werewolf Tribal Primer: the set was a howling success for Werewolf fans, finally throwing us a bone with a true alpha commander in Tovolar, Dire Overlord, along with many other treats.
