Hello everyone!
I just started playing Magic a month ago, after a few friends (who had already played years earlier) decided to get back into it and I joined in on the fun. So far, I'm completely overwhelmed by how great the game and it's community are and I almost regret not having started sooner.
Anyways, I'd like to ask you for advice on a potential deck I've been messing around with. I haven't got most of the cards yet since my collection is still fairly small and I'd rather discuss the benefits/downsides of cards that seem great in my mind, before buying them and finding out that they are not so great irl.
That being said, this is a Wolf Token deck. I originally got the idea from Arlinn, Voice of the Pack among some other cards from the recent War of the Spark set and after doing some "research", I came up with this:
This is by no means my idea of the "perfect" finished deck, I'd just like to find out if it would be viable in your opinion and what you'd improve.
So my strategy would be to build up a lot of tokens (obviously) while keeping a few creatures on the board, which the opponent would have a hard time dealing with (such as Witchstalker. I mostly included the hexproof ones in case of playing against control and/or aggro decks, although in case of a mono blue control, it would probably already be difficult to get them out once I hit 3.
I'm also contemplating about leaving out Wolfir Silverheart since it doesn't really benefit me (unless I've got Young Wolf for example) and it might be to risky pairing him with a hexproof and loosing both of them to a Cast Down for example. Would you add any other creatures instead of it?
Finally, there are some other cards I thought about adding, which I'm not entirely convinced of yet. Those would be: Greater Good, Garruk Relentless, Arlinn, Voice of the Pack, Silverfur Partisan, Howlpack Resurgence, Giant Growth, Wolfbriar Elemental etc. . I'd like to keep this deck mono green for the while, since I don't currently have all the dual lands to delve into G/R, G/W, etc. and I also haven't built a green deck yet.
Thanks a lot for having made it through the long post and thank you in advance for your response! (:

4 Young Wolf
3 Sacred Wolf
4 Witchstalker
3 Master of the Wild Hunt
3 Wolfir Silverheart
2 Growing Ranks
2 Feed the Pack
Instant (9)
3 Druid's Deliverance
2 Moonlight Hunt
2 Sundering Growth
2 Predator's Howl
4 Explore
2 Howl of the Night Pack
Basic Lands (24)
24 Forest

Explore is a nice filler (imho, never played it before) to get Master of the Wild Hunt and Predator's Howl going, which are my main token creation cards. I thought about including Feed the pack and Parallel Lives, but I'm not sure if it would make sense mana wise. Any recommendations?
