Arlinn Kord (werewolf human) | |
Arlinn Kord | |
Arlinn, the Pack's Hope |
She has high health, average mana gains with an unbalanced spread, and average deck limits leaning towards creatures and spells.
Arlinn, the Pack's Hope is the second of two playable Planeswalkers in MtGPQ which embody Arlinn Kord at different points in her life.
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 ability, To Me, My Wolf Pack, creates four 2/2 Wolf tokens. At eight power and toughness, they have the highest p/t to Loyalty ratio in the game for ability-created tokens. Her second 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 abilities, gain mana with the third ability, and summon a copy of a Rare MID card with the third ability.
Arlinn, the Pack's Hope's innate ability, Moonlight's Embrace, transforms her when two or zero cards are played, just as Transform cards on the field do. This transformation counts toward completion of the "Dawnbringer" objective in The Harvesttide (THT) event, which also came out with MID.
Her third ability does not count toward THT's Transform objective, since it specifies that cards be Cast, not merely Summoned, but the Celestus card it creates can shift between Day and Night, and her Starting Deck includes the Kessig Naturalist and Reckless Stormseeker werewolves.
