The Wolf Pack (EDH / Commander)

The inspiration for the lineage of this deck started almost immediately upon learning about Magic the Gathering. I saw a copy of Lone Wolf and having begun my involvement with the game just as Onslaught was coming out, I wanted to build a sixty-card tribal deck around it. This proved to be more difficult than I might have imagined, as outside of Lone Wolf, only Howling Wolf and Arctic Wolves seemed promising. The next few years were also not kind, bringing Tel-Jilad Wolf, Watch Wolf, and Howl of the Night Pack, chronologically. As such, it wasn’t until I first opened a Master of the Wild Hunt during a Magic 2010 draft, that I felt any urge to continue pursuing my original pet deck. Patience has really paid off though, the rise of Commander, in tandem with some design space being carved out by Wizards, presented a viable avenue for my Wolves deck.
I fully expected this deck to be an immediate favorite of mine, but I didn't quite expect that before even having all the cards I needed, a sub-optimal version would hold its own in the wild. Tovolar is a card draw engine by itself, but Wildblood Pack in combination with our general meant that a single attack was presenting a minimum of fifteen damage. The deck is aiming to win through straightforward combat and it's does just that. Proud Wildbonder in not a card to sleep on, people have not played against Thorn Elemental enough to realize how much it ruins combat math and ends games.
