The deck is named “Dog Soldiers” after the cult horror movie about a group of Scottish marines being attacked by werewolves.

Thematically this deck is all about Werewolves, I have strived to have the majority of the deck be werewolves as the idea is Tovolar is uniting them all, since we finally have a werewolf tribal commander. They do not need equipments other than boots because savage animals of tooth and claw don’t require pretty magic swords.

I have included werewolves that do something on either transformed form so there is at least some kind of effect on the board. Essentially it is an aggressively costed Gruul Timmy deck, with extra steps.

Since it is W/W edh, the idea is not to blow everyone out of the water but be more flavour than function, which is why I have included the following cards:

Blood Moon: good land hate which I enjoy, plus it is very on theme for a werewolf deck to have something to do with the moon.

Planeswalker choices: by having PWs in the deck with a mixture of abilities it provides enough actions/effects so I don’t need to play spells on my turns to let the WW cards transform without Tovolar

Removal: mostly instant speed so they don’t need to be played on my turn for the above reason.

Xenagod not in here purposely, since I want a horde of attackers not one really big one.

Eldritch Moon werewolves: these lads are in because I love the concept of eldrazi werewolves, the design and the arts are very cool and their back sides are not too bad.

Deliberately excluded the standard tribal cards such as coat of arms etc because I like my decks being a bit different personally, plus only WWs would be getting anthems since when they flip their abilities in combat should be strong enough anyway.

Wincons: Arlinn Emblem Combat (primarily!) Triumph of the Hordes Tovolar’s activated ability Tovolar commander damage Going wide with tokens
