Yeah. BTW {young wolf} is cool but not over waif or captive

I'm gonna make the heinous claim and say that {Young Wolf} is straight up better than captive. {Kralenhorde Killer} is a bonafide scrub.

What?!?!?!?!???!???
A common better than a gold?!?!???
The wolf is good but not nearly as good as the killer. Besides when im versing a control deck {Phantasmal Image} destroys when it copies a young wolf.  The killer is a much better card. It has won me many games. I even had young wolf but i took him out FOR THE KILLER.
Sry I dont mean to be rude but I get very excited over small things.

Sry the above post looks wierd my portion is in the middle.

Winning games with Kralenhorde Killer? How are you keeping him around long enough for the Killer to pump himself? Young Wolf is great card advantage, especially of you can trade two for one.

I play control, I see the Captive, and I've got an easy spot removal target. I see the young wolf and we've got a different story.

Nobody's afraid of that Captive.

And there are plenty of common that are better than rares. Rarity is irrelevant.

SpiritedAway

Also, what are you saying about {Phantasmal Image}?

Right but can't regenerate with full moon in WW deck (yw) It's a toss up between young wolf and wolf bitten.  But captive does hit for 3 on t2. They both have pros and cons.

SpiritedAway

It'll hit for three if you're play testing. Everyone's got one drops.

{Young Wolf} plops down and stays put. Captive gets shooed away by a hundred cards.

Board Position, Resources, and Card Advantage are everything in Magic. Young Wolf is all of these things, Captive is none of these things.

{kessig wolf run}. Pumpem a get through.

Talock

I would find a place for some Wild Hungers it has been the game changer in so many of my WW games

Thorn

But I top deck the captive late game he will do sooooooooooooomuch more than {Young wolf} also if I have no 2 drop I just pump him and attack.
And i was saying if you use {phantasmal image} to copy young wolf it comes back and copies again. If you copy the captive then oh well you get a 1/1.

SpiritedAway

You should be focused on winning before you're forced to start top decking. Judging a card by how good it is on the field by itself is not good criteria, unless you're playing limited. With that thought process, {Alpha Tyrranax} is better than {Delver of Secrets}.

But I'd say, stick with the werewolf theme with the deck and keep the captive.

Thorn

And when i get the {terror of kruin pass} then i pump the captive and he killa one maybe two of their crearures. They can just go ahead and take one possibly two from the wolf.

SpiritedAway

That's true. But dude, you're still not using competitive criteria to judge the cards.
