Trample This creature can't attack unless you control two or more other Wolves. At the beginning of your upkeep, create a 2/2 green Wolf creature token.
Predicted power
Standard 41 Eng.D+Usr.

A 5/3 blocker that produces a 2/2 each upkeep can grind, but it cannot attack until two other Wolves exist and no established Wolf shell is supplied.

Band fringeConfidence 54%

Could be wrong if Unrevealed Wolf support or a slower, removal-light metagame could make it a reliable tribal payoff.

Pioneer 32 Eng.D-Usr.

The Rock can test it as a grindy three-drop, but Fatal Push and a delayed attack make it a low-tempo threat by Pioneer standards.

Best home The RockBand fringeConfidence 62%

Could be wrong if A proven Wolf shell or unusually effective protection could overcome its substantial tempo loss.

Modern 25 Eng.FUsr.

Three mana for a nonattacking 5/3 that needs upkeep triggers is too slow for Modern without established Wolf density or a combo use.

Band speculativeConfidence 72%

Could be wrong if Existing Wolf synergies not present in the supplied context could provide enough density to justify it.

Legacy 17 Eng.FUsr.

Legacy punishes a three-mana creature that neither attacks immediately nor affects the stack; the delayed token engine is too vulnerable.

Band speculativeConfidence 78%

Could be wrong if A potent Legacy Wolf interaction absent from the supplied context could create a narrow tribal home.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 52 Eng.CUsr.

Wolf typal decks get steady board growth from a cheap 5/3 that makes a Wolf every upkeep, and can readily satisfy its attack condition.

Could be wrong if If optimized Wolf lists need higher-impact token makers, once-per-upkeep output may be too slow and replaceable.

Limited 72 Eng.B+Usr.

Even before attacking, a 5/3 blocker that repeatedly makes 2/2s can dominate creature stalls; two upkeep triggers eventually unlock its attack.

Could be wrong if Efficient removal or a fast environment could punish its inability to attack for multiple turns.

Wolf token engine

“A slow-to-turn-on but efficient Wolf token engine whose constructed outlook hinges on tribal density and surviving a turn cycle.”
