[[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 ~~high health, average~~ very good [[mana]] gains in her colors and poor in Blue, with ~~an unbalanced spread, and~~ -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|Moonlight's Embrace]], transforms her from a [[#Day : Arlinn, the Pack’s Hope|Daytime, Human side]] to a [[#Night : Arlinn, the Moon’s Fury|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 {{Ability|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 {{Ability|Roll a D20}} of ten or more by [[Zariel, Archduke of Avernus]]. Her second Human ability gives {{Ability|Leader}} to a Wolf or Werewolf, whereupon any Wolf or Werewolf tokens will {{Ability|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 [[#The Celestus|Celestus card ]] which can shift between Day and Night, and her [[#Starting Deck|Starting Deck]] includes the Kessig Naturalist and Reckless Stormseeker werewolves.

Her Wolf side abilities can ~~gain~~ , in order: Gain mana, and convert gems~~, buff~~ . 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 {{Ability|Berserker}}, {{Ability|Trample}}, and {{Ability|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.
