MTG - Start Playing Standard For $40.00 with Budget Werewolves for Magic: The Gathering

[@evillittlejawa]

This is amazing, I've pulled so many of these cards, including the mythics, out of packs, so I already have a big chunk of this deck list. I'm just starting out in Magic so this is great. Thanks professor!

[@enemyinbob]

I really hope WotC puts out more and more Werewolf cards. A lot of players I talk to are often saying "Werewolves? Really? Out of all the tribes?..." T^T Leave me and my werewolves alone T^T

[@matijakompan5215]

Agreed. Werewolves are love, werewolves for life! Make Werewolves great again! ^^

[@enemyinbob]

[@florgness]

Werewolves are easily my favorite tribe!

[@Yerahmeel]

I'm a new magic player and I've played this deck for a few weeks now. I had so much fun with it! 100% recommended

[@brand8246]

Great video, Professor. It's nice to see werewolves getting some love, even if I'm not too happy with how they were handled this set. One small suggestion, though. Moonlight Hunt would make for better creature removal than Prey Upon. Even the biggest Eldrazi go down hard when werewolves gang up on them, and there's no chance of your own creature getting taken out from an opponent's trick. That's why I run it mainboard in my G and RG werewolf decks.

[@BigDobsBeardBalm]

Great video! I had about half of the cards for this deck and subbed in wolf centric cards for those that were missing. Made for a fun time with my daughter and I. I really dig your channel with a focus on having fun playing the game. Keep it up!

[@rodzillabds6102]

Thanks Prof, good motivation to get into standard. I still have sever F2F anxiety. Trying to work through it in part by your lectures. I truly believe that any willing student will benefit from your efforts. Keep it up!

[@101stumphead]

Your videos are fantastic and always bring a grin to my face Please, never stop. And always grow. Your interviews with planeswalkers are some. ofnmy favorites and I find your evaluations of characy mm ters inspiring because you alaways see what more could have been done to make them better. Your channel and your hardwork have maxe younmy gero and I hope to 1 day emulate your success and charisma, thank you

[@martinolsen7183]

It's great to see a video that focuses on Standard for once. Keep them coming :)

[@derekthompson8617]

This is great! I've only played sealed so far, but I've been looking to play standard for a while now. Hopefully this allows me to enter into the format.

[@sentino68]

Thanks Prof! I'm giving this deck a try. Starting to get them already from TCGPlayer. I can't believe how quick! I ended up paying $50. . . Did not get a couple from the side board and I used my own mana cards.

[@juanignaciobidegaray]

Well now this is weird... Since I started playing Magic a year ago, I wanted to make a Werewolves deck, but I feared it would be too complicated. Yesterday I decided to make one, and started looking for cards on magiccards.info..... And now you make a video about werevolves? Professor, you are my hero! Thank you so much! I will take this as a base deck and try to upgrade some bits =)

[@notjoaquindecastro]

I love Werewolves in Standard, it's actually what got me into going to FNM almost every week. I have to say, the Silverfur Partisan/Zada, Hedron Grinder combo is hilarious though! Another thing to add to the decklist. Thanks for another video Professor!

[@Rhyooski]

That's not a combo, it's just synergy and it's not very good

[@notjoaquindecastro]

+TheIsaacMatthews Never said it would win a Pro Tour, and sometimes fun is more important than effectiveness you know, that's what Magic is all about.

[@Rhyooski]

J De Castro No

[@stefanobadodi2085]

Hey Prof, great video! I've been playing RG Werewolves at my LGS for some time now, and it's been a ton of fun, even though it won't win every match. My build is a bit different from yours, with Collected Companies (bought by a friend of mine when they were cheap) and some other creatures. I'm waiting to get some Kessig Prowlers to upgrade it.

[@samverick]

Also, while I'm giving out unsolicited tech for a deck I've only seen a buddy play at FNM, Village Messenger can be a real beating. Turn one on the play, you peck in for 1, and your opponent then has to run out an untapped land and a spell to keep him from flipping to a 2/2 with Menace. If you're looking to save a few bucks, you can sub him in for Duskwatch Recruiter.

[@ChadHex]

This is my absolute favorite Limited archetype! Thanks for a great Standard tech!

[@midnightthedevilking2804]

I have taken out 4 mountains and put in looming spires to give a creature +1/+1 and first strike then if im lucky enough to have swell of growth the creature gets +2/+2 ontop of that if i have a second loominng spires in my hand another effect of swell of growth is you may put another land in your hand onto the battle field so you put the second looming spires down and with the cost of only 2 mana your creature pretty much gets +4/+4 and firststrike until end of turn.

[@mtgghouldude]

Great instruction and guidance. I was thinking about trying to build and test out a RG Werewolf deck but with this I have a lot more faith in what it could be.

[@nathanjacquart4395]

Love it. This was mostly what I played for pre-release. It was savage. I nearly took the whole thing.

[@_0ni]

Thank you so much for making the video! I had asked awhile back for one and its here! I love it!

[@kiwill33]

I'm seriously considering making this deck for EM game day. Thanks again Prof!

[@tjcrooms]

I am trying out this deck list and I love it. It’s really consistent and very good. Thanks Professor 😁

[@RaidenSaya]

More of these videos please, professor! Thank you

[@MrFoxbane]

Prof I wish you would post your decks and link them on deckstats or tappedout

[@wakcedout]

I don't know wether to be happy or upset to see you putting out a deck idea to completion that I've been tossing in my head but couldn't really get together.

[@fireinthehole2272]

God bless you prof, just the deck i was brewing. I hope you get a raise.

[@matthewgeary1811]

When you just complete a deck just like this one as your first one with no help then tcc releases a video about it

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

+wiley935 linux (Wiley935) You didn't notice me looking over your shoulder at FNM, taking notes? :p

[@matthewgeary1811]

+Tolarian Community College never before have i been so spooked

[@Mrtfarrugia]

+wiley935 linux (Wiley935) tomorrow leave some cookies on the window sill for the Professor. :-P

[@sampaterson8508]

Amen

[@melvinwessel]

Hey Professor, can you do a deck tech with an kemba edh deck? I have one, but i dont know how many creatures and how many equipments i should play in this so that none of them ist to many

[@Rangersly]

Love tribal! And this deck is the best I've seen for Werewolves in standard. Good job professor!

[@jeremytorres547]

I hope to see more werewolves it's one of my favorite decks

[@OutnumberedStudios]

YAY ITS BACK!!!!! Loved your modern deck techs (Edited after I realized it was misspelled)

[@Zakisbackontrack]

Its Standard

[@OutnumberedStudios]

No really???? sorry I for got the d your mom must've stolen it again. ;) BOOOM! (btw the 3rd O is silent.)

[@parkercole6389]

You said it was modern though. He was correcting you.

[@TheAudioInjection]

Before Eldritch Moon, I made a G/R wolves deck where I ran Village Messenger, Neglected Heirloom and Moonlight Hunt. All of the above I think are great cards in this deck, as well. I haven't tried or even seen an Arlinn Kord but I feel like she'd be good in this deck, too. If you wanna go real meta, you can even throw Coco in this deck, too. Most wolves are 3 or less.

[@Pokepowergaming]

what's coco?

damn. thanks for helping me man I haven't been able to play magic for a while and this deck tech I think has got me back into the game.

[@teammadolcheotk8321]

what would be some good side board options for this deck?

[@bobmcboberson7591]

Thank you so much Professor!!! Thanks to you, I have recently started playing MTG!!!

[@CelticFireGaming]

In my Werewolf deck, I run 4 Silverfur Partisans and 3 Zada, Hedron Grinder and about 8 pump spells, the synergy is insanely good if you have multiple wolves on the field and if you have multiple Partisans in play when you target Zada, it's basically GG. I would recommend to anyone here, that you should put a playset of Moonlight Hunt in your deck, as it is green removal MADE for a Werewolf deck and will pretty much kill everything your opponent plays.

[@koruteru]

I am by no means a pro player but I'm a veteran to the game and I decided to build this deck simply because I'm tired of Bant Company being everywhere. Thanks for the deck, professor!

[@DropDaBomb-ci4zs]

Just want u to know u guys are my favorite KZbin channel! Thx professor

[@11danzizzle11]

Werewolves are one of my favorite creature types in this game so I will have to give this deck a shot! Also Geier Reach Bandit, if pronounced like my last name (which is Geier) should be Guy-er. Keep up the awesome videos Professor! :D

[@bullseyebronco9968]

I've been toying with a RG tokens/werewolves/dragons deck. Kind of a mid range beat down deck. It seems to be running well in this format. Although, I haven't had much time to play with it, but last FNM I went 4-1 with it, the loss I had was when I flooded out.

[@mr.spiceguy4655]

Great budget deck! I never spend over $100 on a deck and normally place in the top 4 at FNM. Vampires will only run you $60-$65.

[@jprec5174]

never invested into magic before until recently when i caught the cardboard crack fever. For now I kept it cheapish and i bought a set of different wolves/werewolves to experiment as well as 1 arlinn kord. Kept it simplish since i bought other cards to make another deck so i can force my friends to play with who try to make the excuse that they dont have the cards. I absolutely love SoI and eldritch moon as Bloodborne/souls games are my favorite of all time and all the werewolves and eldrazi tentacle werewolves remind me of bloodborne. The card art is just so amazing to just collect itself.

[@fj1482]

I just got into mtg right after Memorial Day. mtg has played a crucial part in my husband recovery from his stroke. I've been dying to put together a Werewolf deck and this will help me out so much because I'm brand new and have no clue where to begin.

[@cwispy8330]

thanks professor my brothers been bugging me to build him a standard so now we can both go

[@Pokepowergaming]

I love playing werewolves so this gives me great advice on how to improve my deck thank :)

[@Chaosnm31]

Ah love werewolf's but would like your idea on a Commander Werewolf Deck. Keep up the awesome vids!

[@Narguhl]

I love your pronunciation of Ulrich! Greetings from Germany.

[@grundlejuice9385]

After a few upgrades this is my favorite deck!

[@WhiteWolf.the.Artist]

What upgrades did you make?

[@sevranararis7704]

Prof, I think it would be brilliant to see tribal decks from you, or at least your take on a tribal deck for each of the factions of Innistrad.

[@nickel-bolas951]

I actually run a similar decklist focusing on silverfur partisan + Zada, Hedron Grinder.

[@mrivera6975]

building this for my friend getting into magic! I'm sure having a second deck for her will help

[@PatriceMJ]

The music around 1:50 totally sounds like it's from The Black Tapes Podcast

[@Furbantofu909]

Just answered a lot of questions, Thanks!

[@trinzik5012]

love your videos, very informative. thank you for your wisdom.

[@gabrielgomez1395]

Please do a standard deck on blue and white spirits!

[@VeronicaFernandez9109]

thank you for everything you do prof! much love

[@DamienTheCat]

What are good alternatives to Atarka's Command now that Dragons of Tarkir has cycled out??

[@bingchua3958]

DtC I Guess more collective defiance because I use 4 collective defiance and it helps your deck get rid of annoying creature, spells and players would be damaged although it's not like atarka's command

[@miav7817]

I would say collective defiance as well.

[@BiggestSniff]

my old innistrad werewolf deck was definitely upgraded from the new ones. praise huntmasterx4

[@silentwyvern]

I ran Wedge's SoI fully upgraded werewolf deck, but that was short lived. If you've got a competitive meta werewolves isn't gonna do too well. The deck needs Arlinn Kord and Collected Company to compete.

[@derse1292]

I really like this deck. Not only is it affordable and viable, but it can also be easily swapped over to an EDH Werewolf Tribal.

[@Zoeila]

slightly curious why you ommited wazing moon

[@ededdneddy4ever34]

i agree after reading what the card does. Definitely generates a lot of advantages mid and late game and using it on geier is amazing. I put 3 in my build. And in the description he says 4 atarkas command but in the vid he only says 2? i just put 3 in of that as well.

[@uraniumcitrus2579]

My first deck that I made myself was a werewolf deck. It plays insanely fast even if you get decent draws. my fastest win was three turns.

[@filletcake2734]

proffesor can you do a modern guide to ad nauseam, i love that deck and i really want to see more people enjoying it too :D

[@SecretShotgun]

Professor, what is your opinion on Arlinn Kord, and how would you modify the deck for her?

[@bryanpennington1101]

Arlinn is bae. Run 4 copies.

[@joelchavez8534]

+Bryan Pennington (Anima) I run 2 copies myself. I use neglected heirloom as both offensive and defensive also. suprised he didn't put waxing moon in the list

[@bryanpennington1101]

The idea of the Prof's Deck seems to be more Super fast aggro, Heirloom and Arlinn are quite slow for his strat tbh. I just love wolfmum too much not to throw her in mine haha

[@joelchavez8534]

+Bryan Pennington (Anima) yeah. I see what he's doing but I think werewolves are always most powerful midrange

[@bryanpennington1101]

Joel Chavez Oh, Absolutely, i agree. I just wish we had Huntmaster and Mayor back in standard..

[@TheTexasDice]

Professor, please do Mono U control! There are currently two builds; The Brain in the Jar one and the Day's Undoing one.

[@goatsage4029]

team vampire all the way but great deck as always good job prof

[@dylanmorris5253]

a solid card on here would be waxing moon along with cult of the waxing moon.

[@vincentgoschel1573]

hey tolarian community college! I love werewolves and I would really appreciate it if you could do a updated Decklist of them due to the new cards and banned cards. I love our content! Thank you

[@konda020946]

My version got second place in the Eldritch Moon Game Day in Munich today --MainDeck-- Creature 4 Kessig Prowler 4 Village Messenger 4 Kessig Forgemaster 4 Geier Reach Bandit 4 Silverfur Partisan 2 Ulrich of the Krallenhorde Planeswalker 2 Arlinn Kord Instant 4 Waxing Moon ENchantment 2 Howlpack Resurgence Sorcery 4 Collective Defiance 4 Exquisite Firecraft land 4 Game Trail 6 Forest 8 Mountain 4 Cinder Glade --Sideboard-- (against Languish) 3 Spirit of the Hunt (against the White mythic angels (archangel of tithes, Avacyn, Linvala) 4 Tears of Valakut (against graveyard recursion decks) 4 Incendiary Flow (This one is against decks with duress and discard engines there are quite a few here so i added them) 4 Nephalia Academy

[@devilpuncher8706]

I might have try this because I have most of the deck already.

[@TheRedKnightOfPain]

Now I wanna see a budget modern Werewolves deck...

[@xcallumx141]

Right now I'm building budget R/U spell creatures but I may buy this too

[@RobinBirdUwU]

I have this awesome $10 budget standard deck. its b/r and uses madness to quickly beat down opponents, that can beat top tier decks

[@nomak38416]

Been waiting to see this for a while from mana source, nice to see it pop up here though.

[@ATLAUDITION]

I think mana source already has one? Though it was before Moon came out.

[@nomak38416]

This is true, but it was only with the SOI cards. Obviously with this new set there will be modifications. Same for R/B Vampires and B/U Zombies

[@gonzalomb5026]

Guys, Aerial Volley is a must for every green sideboard.

[@MurraySoles]

Professor I noticed that in the video you list playing 2 Atarka's Command yet in the deck list in the description it's 4?

[@superkeaton9912]

Hope Prof does something similar for Vampires

[@StaleBranflakes]

quick question for some commander players that double sleeve, HOW ON EARTH DO YOU SHUFFLE

[@FusterIsBased]

Get bigger hands

[@paulmiller7838]

How much do those run you?

[@FusterIsBased]

Paul Miller $0. If your hands don't grow naturally however you might have to spend some on growth hormones lol.

[@dragonicstar2248]

very carefully

[@pauldope9526]

I split in to two piles hand over hand shuffle each pile then cut each pile then mash the two .... or I long shuffle into ten piles 9of ten one of nine and shuffle pairs together until I have two then mash

[@pogrhino2995]

Hi huge fan of werewolves I tied first place using this deck thank you so much for making it. how can i make this more competitive

[@masonunthank8878]

Awesome deck prof!

[@SmugLookingBarrel]

I happen to have a copy of Arlin Kord that I pulled out of a pack, I assume she's worth running if you have her? Another thing I like about this deck is that absolutely no part of it is rotating out in september, so for 40$ you'll have a deck that lasts you at least six more months.

[@thomasnguyen6501]

I love how you pronounce Ulrich.

[@mluna1237]

No waxing moon? I'd have thought that would be a must have for any werewolf deck, especially when running spooky moon werewolves

[@kilbeam99]

I am not too big a fan of including Atarka's Command, as it is relatively expensive and will rotate out very soon.

[@averytwo1]

it has use it modern it won't fall drastically

[@IvanRoman92]

Same. Would you know of a replacement for it? I am planning on buying this deck.

[@sevranararis7704]

Maybe a few copies of Waxing Moon instead? It doesn't have the same versatility, but it can help with transforming your wolves and running over weenies.

[@IvanRoman92]

What about Titan's Strength? I am just trying to rid of cards that are rotating out soon.

[@DarkPlayerRE]

I am new to Magic and just wanted to ask, when i buy 4 Kessig Prowler, are the tranformation included or how do i get them?

[@Naga1877]

CipherSG it's a double sided card

[@Umiderp]

Professor, will you be going over other tribal strategies (particularly Zombies or Vampires)?

[@artemperebyinis2926]

Hey Professor! Are you going to do a video about From the Vault: Lore ?

[@ares6037]

Werewolves is one of my favorite tribes.

[@DragonkingOmaga69]

I want to see more videos likes these

[@brandoncreek5709]

Werewolves are definitely my favorite tribe in MTG. I was originally running a version of the Zada/Partisan Investigation token deck, but I'm definitely hyped for Eldritch Moon and these new additions! I really want to put together my first ever Modern or EDH deck, using the werewolf tribal theme. Any suggestions would really help me out! (Preferably for Modern.)

[@hitmangfx7162]

Yeah, I've gotten maimed a few times by Werewolves on Magic Online. They get really big really fast.

[@kappaross6124]

0:07 Wait a minute... that's no heron! There isn't a heron in the moon! It's a shrew, a five-legged shrew with a voice like whispering thunder!

[@cooky103066]

Why not use moonlight hunt instead of prey upon? With the bigger creatures from eldritch moon, it'd have more removal power

[@RL30N]

I honestly hate Standard...but this is a nice and fun build for some Standard FNM! THANKS!

[@celsotavora]

Is Arlinn Kord a viable card for the deck? Is it better in the sideboard or in the main deck?

[@QCreyton]

Ulrich = Ool-rri-k (really it's more a soft ch at the back of the mouth where the tongue doesn't touch the pallet, sort of like the way a cat hisses)

[@kopmis]

What shocked me even more than the price of Liliana is that Duskwatch Recruiter costs a full 2 bucks in America 0_0

[@GlaciesFrost13]

What would you suggest to pull out for the Planeswalker, Arlinn Kord? I know she's not budget, but I do have her.

[@hddsh3316]

I really like this deck and I'm thinking about building it but why atarka's command?

[@sharkbites92]

Is there a current standard card that can easily replace atarka's command and the other cards that aren't standard anymore?

[@stewartmorris9771]

Can you please do a "competitive" b/r vampires.

[@Eleros]

Personally prefer the Zada Wolves Deck (which costs about the same) but still pretty sweet

[@cameronglab]

any ideas on replacements for collective defiance and atarka's command?

[@cameronglab]

non budget card would be well I have a few copy's of Arlington kord
