Gollum, Silent Slinker // Meager Meal
Sets up the plan
Why it works in Ferocious Wolves
Both halves help you 4 power. Meager Meal, a 1-mana , puts a +1/+1 counter on a 3-power creature such as Bejeweled Warg, Duskwatch Hunter or Mirkwood Nurturer. The card then goes to , and later you cast the creature from there, a 4/3 for 4. A pre-release review called that 4/3 weak, yet in this deck the card wins more than Large Bear (57.2%).
How to play it
Spend Meager Meal early on the creature that needs the counter most, and point the 2 life at yourself. Cast Gollum from on turn 4 or later. The other two Gollums have different names, so they can sit beside it.
A 4/3 creature for 4 mana is pretty weak
