About Throat Wolf Playtest

Throat Wolf Playtest, Summon wolf, designed by Sam Stoddard first released in Nov, 2019 in the set Mystery Booster Playtest Cards 2019 and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.

A deck that focuses on aggressive strategies and capitalizes on extra combat phases would benefit from using Throat Wolf, such as a red aggro or tempo deck. While Throat Wolf offers a unique ability with its additional combat phase, there may be better cards for similar strategies like Hellrider or Combat Celebrant that provide more immediate impact or synergies with other cards, making Throat Wolf less likely to see play in competitive Magic: the Gathering decks.

Rules

11/12/19

If a creature with firstest strike enters the battlefield during the firstest-strike combat damage step or the first-strike combat damage step, it deals regular combat damage instead.

11/12/19

If two players each control Throat Wolf, player A’s first combat phase will be followed by player B’s first combat phase from B’s Throat Wolf, which will be followed by player A’s second combat from A’s Throat Wolf. On player C’s turn (where C is the active player and player A is the next player in turn order) player C’s combat phase is followed by player A’s combat phase, then player B’s combat phase following player A’s, then player A’s following player B’s, then player B’s that follows player C’s finally happens.

11/12/19

Throat Wolf’s last ability reads like it’s pointless. Only Throat Wolf can attack, but it can’t attack, so nothing can attack. Rather than assume the text is pointless, this ability should be played as though it read “After each opponent’s first combat phase on each turn, you have a combat phase. Only Throat Wolf can attack during that combat phase.”

“Summon” isn’t a card type. Throat Wolf is a creature.
