There's a few too many fogs in here imo, I really don't think you need that many.

#

also could probably cut open the gates and sylvan scrying

#

tower defense can probably also go

orchid quiver
#

so scrap all defense and go pure attack?

vivid slate
#

Having one or 2 fog effects in here isn't bad, especially the ones that are one sided like moon mist

#

I don't think you need 5 fogs.

#

The main issue with fogs is that they're usually more kind of a "gotcha" card and therefore somewhat situational. They shine when you are already ahead and can leave yourself seemingly open while swinging out, but they suck when you are behind, as they don't actually add to your board position and only really delay the inevitable.

#

I think the main issues with the deck atm is that it lacks in some crucial aspects like ramp, card draw and board protection.

#

I guess Jaheira can somewhat provide ramp? but it's not really consistent enough, as you don't have a great way to enable the background and your deck is only partially token focused.

#

Wren's run packmaster is a bit iffy here because you don't actually run that many other elves, so you are more or less forced to exile your commander most of the time.

orchid quiver
#

oh yeah. forgot it did that. might bin it then. then again if maskwood is online i can exile anything else

vivid slate
#

yeah but that's not super consistent

#

I have a [[Tolsimir, Friend to wolves]] deck, and I run a lot of mana dorks and other utility elves like [[reclamation sage]] or [[wood elves]] etc to ensure I have targets for Packmaster.

Legendary Creature — Elf Scout
When Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves enters the battlefield, create Voja, Friend to Elves, a legendary 3/3 green and white Wolf creature token.
Whenever a Wolf enters the battlefield under your control, you gain 3 life and that creature fights up to one target creature you don't control.
3/3

hmm. i see. then i'm better off binning packmaster huh?

vivid slate
#

Not necessarily, I just think the deck would need more changes to accomidate packmaster

#

It is probably one of the better pieces of wolf tribal support, it's just a bit awkward because it also requires other elves to be on the board.

orchid quiver
#

is it still worth running maskwood to turn the squirrels into wolves or no?

vivid slate
#

Honestly I'm not even sure if that background is actually very good here.

#

The main way for you to enable it is if wolves end up dying during your turn, which isn't great for you

orchid quiver
#

it's the only green background besides chef and giant

vivid slate
#

I actually think Master Chef is a better choice here

orchid quiver
#

then maskwood doesn't contribute much does it?

vivid slate
#

What's the reason you wanted to go with monogreen wolf tribal rather than with one of the dedicated wolf tribal commanders out there?

orchid quiver
#

there's only one wolf commander and it honestly is not that good. and no partners go with it to make it better.

vivid slate
#

There's Tolsimir and Tovolar which are both excellent for this archetype

#

Tolsimir is removal in the command zone, Tovolar draws cards and can also buff your wolves

orchid quiver
#

but not mono green. i looked

vivid slate
#

Jaheira is neat but feels a but inconsistent because while you do have a few token makers here, it's not enough to consistently have her tap for mana. And in any case, i don't know if you really want to tap your creatures for mana. Your wolves want to attack more than anything

orchid quiver
#

i can always swap her with halsin to make my wolves into bears

vivid slate
#

I guess if you really want to stick with mono green she's better than nothing

#

But yeah, definitely add some more ramp and card draw here, it's almost nonexistent and you will quickly run out of gas

orchid quiver
#

what sort of card draw should i include? if i bin maskwood i can swap cards with mana dorks and use the squirels from hermit to be the mana while wolves attack

#

actually looking at it i probably dont even need maskwood

vivid slate
#

I would cut maskwood for now yea

orchid quiver
#

hmmm. huntsmaster seems a bit heavy does it not?

vivid slate
#

It's one of the better wolf producers out there

orchid quiver
#

tovolar huntmaster is?

vivid slate
#

I guess it's a bit awkward because you don't have a great way to force nights to happen

orchid quiver
#

yeah. 6 mana with an inconsistent 2 wolf spawn is not that good imo
