Arlinn, the Pack's Hope is a red and green werewolf human Planeswalker, introduced in October 2021 along with the Innistrad: Midnight Hunt (MID) card set. She can transform into a werewolf with a different set of Planeswalker abilities.

She has very good mana gains in her colors and poor in Blue, with -2 to the others. She has average deck limits leaning towards creatures and spells. She has high health, going up 3 HP each time until level 42 and 4 HP thereafter.

Arlinn, the Pack's Hope is the second of two playable Planeswalkers in MtGPQ which embody Arlinn Kord at different points in her life.

Arlinn, the Pack's Hope is a dual sided Planeswalker whose innate ability, Moonlight's Embrace, transforms her from a Daytime, Human side to a Nighttime, Wolf side when zero cards are played in a turn, just as Transform cards on the field do. Casting two cards in a turn transforms her back.

Her Human side abilities cannot be used as long as the enemy plays no cards, unless the player can Dayshift  (eg activate the mana Field of The Celestus) at the same time as getting an extra swap. Arlinn's first Human ability, To Me, My Wolf Pack, creates four 2/2 Wolf tokens. At eight power and toughness for seven Loyalty, they have the highest p/t to Loyalty ratio in the game for ability-created tokens, outside of a Roll a D20  of ten or more by Zariel, Archduke of Avernus. Her second Human ability gives Leader  to a Wolf or Werewolf, whereupon any Wolf or Werewolf tokens will Reinforce it. She can gain Loyalty with the second and third Human abilities, and summon a copy of a Rare MID card with the third ability.

Her third Human ability creates a Celestus card which can shift between Day and Night, and her Starting Deck includes the Kessig Naturalist and Reckless Stormseeker werewolves.

Her Wolf side abilities can, in order: Gain mana and convert gems. Buff her creatures and damage the opponent; this is based on the current amount of loyalty, so it is always at least 12. And lastly, create a temporary 5/5 token with Berserker , Trample , and Double Strike 

Her transformation counts toward completion of the "Dawnbringer" objective in The Harvesttide (THT) event, which also came out with MID.

Facing her as an opponent, it is possible to manipulate her transformations to reduce whichever loyalty abilities one perceives as a threat.
