Reviews

Ideally, you'll already have a creature waiting to attack before you play The Chief Warg. That way, you can cast it and immediately draw a card when you attack with that creature. Even if you can't, getting to draw a card is a very good ferocious ability and we've seen how easy these abilities actually are to enable, which makes this a very powerful build-around for black/green.

Those two, The Chief Warg, and Ravening Warg (don't underestimate the value of incidental lifegain in HOB) are the main reasons to care about .

How to draft it

Roles in each deck

  • Ferocious Wolves Rewards the plan

    Its card draw needs a different 4-power creature already out, and a 3/3 for 4 to most before it has drawn much.

    How to play it

    Cast it after a 4-power creature is on the battlefield, so the first card comes that same turn.
