Tovolar, Dire Overlord | Upping the Average 

I right there with ya man

I can hear his sigh of disappointment in my mind...

It definitely fits with the theme of howlpacks, which were made up of both wolves and werewolves

Rot Wolf

Tolsimir is better with Wolves :)

For this similar reason unnatural moonrise has also not been very good and I've already removed it after it being a dead card NUMEROUS times. It's already going to be night on your turn and using it on an opponents turn hasn't been very useful.

Good point, thanks

I keep saying this and nobody believes it but I think you are right

@@aaroncorsini6165 it is QUITE bad

@@drewlehman2456 on edhrec he is in more tovolar decks than fucking sol ring.... people do some weird shit

I don't know why you are it's perfect in this sentence

Would be great! Like u did for edgar

I agree, the flavor and memes alone is enough to keep that sucker in.

Better destructive reverly IMO, let's hope it'll be reprinted in wolf's flavour

Found it! Dire-strain rampage

I mean, we got how many Vampires in the Werewolf set? I would be shocked, *shocked* if there are no new members of the tribe in Crimson Vow.

Since they gave us werewolves in white black and blue in Midnight Hunt, part of me is hoping for another werewolf legendary so people playing werewolf tribal have some options. Maybe one outside of Gruul, maybe just another in Gruul that has a different game plan

@@TheAlmightyGameGenie I wouldn't count on it personally, for a number of reasons. Werewolves splashing into black and blue I feel is more of a thing for formats outside of commander, also WOTC print Legends into the ground, but notably they only printed one for the tribe in the Werewolf set? If you really want to play a non-gruul werewolf deck, there are 5C commanders you can play.

What did you errata, exactly? Not sure how Village Messenger helps with day/night. Also village messenger is in the average deck already I think

@@brandoncreek5709 The errata is fairly simple: 1. All human-werewolves have daybound and nightbound. This unites them with cards like Unnatural Moonrise and Celestus. It also gives them a nice boost since they enter transformed which has significant effects with things like Instigator Gang. 2. Moonmist now says: [It becomes night] followed by the rest of its usual text. This simply ensures Moonmist works cohesively with new Werewolves. On village messenger, I don't know how many people are including them for the haste/menace effect honestly and I SHOULD have used Reckless Waif as an example instead. The point is that, once you begin the day/night cycle, it stays on the board even if you have no permanents with daybound or nightbound who would care about it, but more importantly, the early turns are probably the only time you might get a lucky "land, pass" turn from an opponent. Normally without errata, this means Wreckless waif transforms, but any werewolves after still need to see a passed turn to flip. This becomes very unlikely after players pass 3 mana. With errata, your next werewolf enters as nightbound, and suddenly you have a very powerful early game presence, and it might take a few more turns before players can cast two spells.

In other words, be careful with that one, because he can’t target himself when you do that.

Yessss..I even play winter orb to stop them from unhappiness lands...can't can't more than one spell ...if your lands are tapped lol 😈

@@DonVonBliss legit, Blood Moon is one of my all time favourite cards lol

@@ghost64626 same here dude ..I stick it in every deck ..now I just need to find a stranglehold to go with it lol

@@DonVonBliss hell yeah lol

There should be one out now.

Yeah Tovolar encourages similar things, but not exactly what Edric wants. Even in the most optimized list abusing his card draw you're still running a suit of the best werewolves/wolves. It becomes about 12 wolves and werewolves as your draw engine, but it's noticeable.

Tovolar makes it night to trigger the new werewolves with daybound/nightbound.

@@tresnalder2149 I feel like this person may be reading the second half of that trigger which is exclusively there for transforming the older werewolves that don't flip based on it being night / day with the nightbound / daybound mechanic.

@@drewlehman2456 so he does transform them??

@@shikabaneconga if you're referring to transforming daybound / nightbound cards, no. His trigger has 2 parts. The first part turns it to night, and whenever it becomes night all Midnight hunt werewolves transform but NOT because Tovolar MAKES them transform. They transform because Tovolar makes it night with NO relation to the second half of this upkeep trigger. The rest of the trigger says to "transform all human werewolves" which would let you tranfrom ALL of the remaining human werewolves that don't have daybound / nightbound so that he can transform all of the older werewolves that don't have daybound and nightbound.

This new deck already has more data than most commanders. It doesn’t take long for people to figure out.

I would have agreed if it was still at less than 100 decks, or even 290 like it was a few days ago, but now there is more than enough data to use in this episode. Plus, it's the new thing that many commander players are brewing around, so from a content creation stand point, it makes sense that Joey would use this opportunity to cover it.
