I think Sadin severly underestimates Young Wolf in werewolf decks (or any other deck, for that matter). Young Wolf is quite possibly the best green one-drop there is in this limited format.

I think Pilgrim is better generally.

I'm confused at the high value of Rage Thrower  indicated. It's my impression that by the time you get to 6 mana in limited you should be dropping a bomb, not just pinging the players face. Remember that in order to get the damage you are losing a creature, therefore losing board presence. If you aren't losing creatures, then that means that you are killing their creatures and probably forcing your way through. If your opponent sees a rage thrower on the board they are going to attempt to play around it. Anywho that's how I see that card: win more, or too little too late.

How does this lead to interactive play? I believe I’m able to play my creature and you have to deal with it is much more interactive than you counter my creature. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Post #777

It's a fireball. It does like infinite damage to your opponent.

The point of rage thrower is to untap turn 6, play it, swing and now your opponent either blocks and kills creatures which makes them take damage or they dont block and take damage. When you're opponent is under 6 rage thrower makes them have very difficult decisions unless they have an answer right now.

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining that. I have a better understanding of (and more respect for) the card now.
