Reviews

This format should have enough to allow us to play a card like Tom, Bert, and William in a black/red deck where you can utilize its ability fully. Even if that's not the case, having this troll sit in play and getting to sacrifice creatures for value in response to is also very powerful.

Gnashing of Teeth, Celebrate the Mountain-king, and Burn, Burn, Tree and Fern (thanks to Chapter II) are hard answers to Tom, Bert, and William to be aware of. If you're worried about those, you can try playing this with mana open and something else to sac for immediate value.

Roles in each deck

  • Ferocious Wolves Gets you extra cards

    Big creatures and spare Wolf turn its ability into two or more cards at a time. When the 5/5 Trolls die they come back as an that is no longer a creature, and the ability keeps working.

    How to play it

    Keep open. When is aimed at one of your other creatures, it in response, so the spell does nothing and you draw instead. A pumped Prowler or a big Pathmaker draws four or more.
