I´m pretty dissapointed. How did this actually pass the "ok this art is awesome, lets print it" test. It looks like a mediocre flash animation... -_-
I concur, it seems as if teh artist did the background, then just photoshopped in the humans and werewolf... just look how the shadows get cut off... And I don't think the mist is an excuse for that...

Vanilla Werewolf to take the place of unnecessary and mostly unplayable red 'barbarian raider types' to be used for limited and bock constructed is actually a pretty good card. Why not a 4cc creature who doubles in size when your other werewolves also get mean and nasty. This guy won't be the first target and just might get through.

As a one-of in a draft format, this guy just sits around waiting to get angry and then acts as a pretty good beater when the game goes to top-deck mode and your opponent draws a land.

"Nothing to see here" becomes "this common won me the game" because you took a chance on him. . . Still, I think there's more 'Nothing to see here' than a must-have common.

Let me be the first to say that this card will win the 'most passed dual-sided card card' award and also the 'most dropped on the floor by mistake dual-sided card card'.

Vanilla common Werewolf is cool in my book. Great power/toughness for a red creature of 4 CMC when he transforms, and the artwork is 20 different kinds of awesome!

LOL at this art! I love the dudes on the left. On the day side they're all like "Get him! Swine!" then on the night side they're all like "Ah! Foul beast!"

I think this is a pretty good common flipper. Fair strength for its cost, as vanilla a flipper as they can make... I wouldn't be ashamed to play it in Limited. I don't think he'll make the cut in a Standard Werewolf deck, though.

I love the "OH S***!" moment the guys that were picking on him just had. This is probably my favorite art of the set so far. Great Limited card as well. Good job Wotc.

I think in limited most decks packing red will play this guy.

I mean a 3/2 for 4 while not amazing is not omg horrible and once he flips over hes well worth the 4 mana invested.

Stand up, you pussy. You're 3/2, you could probably trade with the three guys.

Although, looking at the art again, I do like how a red haired man gets a red mane when becoming a werewolf.

It's interesting that his normal power/toughness doubles when he transforms.

But isn't 3/2 kind of big for a single human? Or maybe he's not really cowering in fear, and he's trying to avoid fighting because he doesn't want to hurt anybody.
