Weird. The front face clearly shows him wearing wolf pelts, yet he makes wolf tokens. I get the life gain from hunting, but the token-making doesn't make sense if he's hunting wolves. (Unless these are naked wolf tokens.) The art should have been more like that of Master of the Wild Hunt  , which clearly "explains" the wolf-making. The double abilities certainly look clunky, but their multiple symmetries are really beautiful. I'm sure it plays smoother than it reads. Well done.

I thought Tom LaPille is leaving, but he's still writing articles?

I liked the uncommon wolf previewed by PlanetMTG (Immerwolf) better than this one. What, my Reckless Waif is a 4/3 and can't transform back?
Awesomesauce. Might be able to stick those two into a RDW now...

so, instead of "it deals 2 damage to target opponent and 2 damage to up to one target creature", couldn't it just have been a may for both sets of 2 damage? a little less powerful, but also less words and (to me at least), sounds less clunky...

Well the triggered ability has to have legal targets (otherwise it's countered altogether), so yeah they had to say "may" for the creature part...

Has Tom played TWEWY(The World Ends With You)? The title makes me think so.
In any case, I like Huntsman. Not a big fan of Afflicted yet.

I believe that he said that since he was so involved in Dark Ascensions that he would still be coming back to write a couple of articles for the preview weeks.

Have to agree with Pedrodyl here, the uncommon preview of Immerwolf is far more exciting than this mythic and is what I was hoping for ever since werewolves were first previewed last year. I thought they would print something like it in the final set, didn't expect it this soon and to take creature form either. To bad both these previewed werewolfs in this article mechanically clash with Immerwolf and the other previewed werewolf Tovolar's Magehunter. That doesn't mean they're bad cards by any means, they just don't fit werewolf tribal too well, I can see this mythic werewolf being a awesome card in non-werewolf decks.
