Overview:
A mid-range strategy centered around Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald, focusing on casting spells from exile through various means while generating wolf tokens and value through cascade, foretell, and other exile-based mechanics.
Primer:
The deck aims to establish early ramp and then leverage various exile-based casting mechanics to generate wolf tokens through Faldorn. Primary win conditions include going wide with wolves and other tokens, while backup strategies involve large creatures and combat damage. Key play patterns include setting up exile-based engines like Outpost Siege and Stolen Strategy, while using cascade spells for additional value. The deck can grind out longer games through consistent token generation and card advantage from exile effects.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to graveyard hate and exile removal, which can disrupt key pieces of the strategy. Board wipes can be particularly devastating since the deck relies heavily on creature-based strategies. The deck can struggle against faster combo decks or heavy control strategies that prevent it from establishing its board presence.

Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a focused casual level, with consistent execution of its strategy but without the explosive power of higher-tier decks. It can generate significant value through exile effects and token generation, but typically needs several turns to establish its board presence. While it includes some powerful individual cards, the overall strategy is fair and interactive, placing it firmly in the mid-power range. The deck would struggle against optimized decks but can hold its own against other casual strategies.
