Nightpack Ambusher

Support for Werewolf Decks

New 27 Aug 2023 Asked by b4ym4n 76 Comments

In my last post, a lot of people were confused about the intent of my post. I apologize for being redundant but here goes...If one builds a werewolf deck, they are forced to play with the same cards (that aren't very good) for three years. Meanwhile, vampires get cards in every set. Some are even legendary. 6 legendary in VOW, werewolves got zero btw.There have been multiple sets the past two years where wolves and werewolves exists on that plane. Dominaria. Eldraine. MOM. Yet, they get nothing. What is the point of making Midnight Hunt/Vow if the tribe would not be supported even by an extra card or two during standard rotation? (Especially after the blunders in dark ascension and eldritch moon, you would think treating them better would be a priority). Wicked Wolf, Nightpack ambusher, werewolf packleader...these cards exist...outside of innistrad. There is literally no excuse to not throw in a single card for this tribe every once in a while. So again, if someone builds a werewolf deck and receives no new cards that help them, what do you say to them playing the same weak cards for three years straight?


I understand when you are focused on a single theme that it’s frustrating because there are many potential opportunities for us to make cards. From our perspective though, there are a lot of themes in Standard. We try to hit upon as many as we can, but it’s just hard to hit them all. Werewolves are particularly tricky as we usually make them double-faced.

Werewolf References in MOM

Hi mark, how're you doing? I get why MOM dont have any werewolves, but what about few effects like arlinn, voice of pack and nightpack ambusher (effects that care about werewolves, despite the set have none of them, just because they sinergize with wolves in general)?


March of the Machine referenced the entire multiverse (well, at least a lot of it). Almost anything we’d ever done could have fit, but we only had so much space.

Keywords and Subtypes

Hey there, I think it was Gavin that said on an interview that it would be problamatic using some keywords in a standard set that they doesn't matter it (Like printing a card that cares about flashback but in a set that does not have flashback), but yet, we see Nightpack Ambusher and Arlinn, voice of the pack that cares about Werewolves. Does that mean that we're getting werewolves in standard so that those keywords matters? I thought we were going to see some in Eldraine but I was wrong...


He was taking about non-evergreen keywords. We can reference sub types and supertypes to our heart’s content.
