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.
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 gain mana, convert gems, buff her creatures and 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.
