IDEAS AND DIFFERENCES?
Similar to lion-dib-bolt, it's a "12-bolt deck". Bolts are good because they're bimodal spells: they can control the board or go face, depending on your role assessment at a given time. If you're in the business of beating The Deck, 12 bolts decks give you the best odds. ​
​
Some people use Ironclaw Orcs instead of Flying Men, which is probably smart given how obviously soft to Bottle this deck is otherwise.
​
MEMORIES FROM PLAYING IT?
I think I won my first Wolf playing this :)
​​
MATCHUPS?
It has the tools to beat pretty much anything so if you read themeta right and build your board accordingly, you have good odds of winning a tournament with this deck.
