Smoldering Werewolf // Erupting Dreadwolf

Smoldering Werewolf // Erupting Dreadwolf was released as part of the Innistrad Remastered set, a curated compilation designed to synthesize the most iconic mechanics and flavor from the original Innistrad block and subsequent returns to the plane. The card follows the classic double-faced transformation mechanic central to the werewolves of Innistrad, intended to represent the visceral, shifting nature of lycanthropy within the gothic horror setting of the game.
