Wolfsoul Ramp

[Dudecore]

Streak is over. U/W Delver whooped me twice, pretty decisively. {Invisible Stalker} and a token equipped with {Sword of Feast and Famine}. Second game I, believe it not, got mana screwed, and {eaten by spiders} isn't wildly good if {Delver of Secrets} has {Sword of Body and Mind}.

I wish I could say {Runechanter's Pike} wasn't worse. {Geist of Saint Traft}, and his angel has double strike (because {Silverblade Paladin} just remains unpaired) and he is a 5/2 first strike. Scoop! I can't do anything.

{ancient grudge} or oh hey {prey upon}

{ancient grudge} or oh hey {prey upon}

I can't reliably draw R, so probably stick with {naturalize}, destroys enchants as well. It would be a good sideboard, in the rare instances I get milled. Maybe "FIGHTBEAR!" ({Ulvenwald Tracker})? I have too many ideas.

{Joint Assault} has got to go though...

[Greg54js]

I like the idea of {ulvenwald tracker}

[Dudecore]

I need a red creature at 3 drop if possible. Anyone have any suggestions?

[Greg54js]

{fervent cathar}?

[Dudecore]

{fervent cathar}?

Doesn't pass the Vanilla test.

[BlackJester]

{fervent cathar}?

Doesn't pass the Vanilla test.

Neither to Birds or {Stormblood Berserker}s.

Wait, what's the Vanilla test? 

[Dudecore]

Vanilla Test is how I grade creatures. They have to:
A) be vanilla (3/3 for 3, ect.)
B) have an ability that justifies having them.

Certain cards like {birds of paradise} aren't vanilla, but it's a flying body that gives you mana, can hold a sword or be buffed.

{Stormblood berserker} is almost unblockable, with potential to be 3/3 for 2. Passes.

Exceptions are always made, but it's a decent way to evaluate cards.

So you're saying you don't think the Cathar's ability, haste and removing a blocker,  justifies including him.  I think he'd be a great finisher paired with {Wolfir Silverheart}.

[Dudecore]

Pretty much. While his Haste ability is good, he's a 2/1, too squishy. He never really gets better. At 3 mana I need at least a 3/3, if I can't have that, then it's other abilities better blow me away.

I get a better creature at GG with {Strangleroot Geist}, he doesn't make something incapable of blocking, but has haste, cheaper and what not.

{Wolfir Avenger} is a good example, 3/3 for 3. Flash, Regenerate. I'd like to curve nicely into that.

[BlackJester]

Fair enough.  I kinda see him as a living combat trick that works well with soulbond/ETB stuff.  I guess he's better in Boros humans with {Cloudshift}. 

[Dudecore]

There is not a lot of value at 3 drops with Red. {Chandra's Phoenix} perhaps? Might just leave the {Wolfir Avengers}, 1RR scares me.
