Plus, why would my deck want to run a guy who sacrifices for an ability? That doesn;t have any synergy with the deck. The only reason I even run one Saffi is to protect Momir Vig, a Deathkitty, Tolsimir, Liege or an AEthermage.
You folks have never gotten the lucky Watchwolf wins with this deck, that's why. Trust me, it was hard to pull one Watchwolf, and I want to find a way to slide another back in. I've played this deck a ton online in the rooms, and you will go, Watchwolf, Watchwolf, win. It happens all of the time.

Watchwolf has synergy? I'm just saying that in most situations, this guy is a watchwolf, and in those situations where he's not he can be removal or pumping something else.Originally Posted by TheAbe
Watchwolf is good, but it doesn't make a single appearance in competitive duel decks, but the Qasali Pridemage is being play in Standard, Extended, and even Legacy as a must include right next to Tarmogoyf. I don't know about you, but that says a lot to me.
But if its the fact that ne's not always a 3/3, why aren't you running the fatty of fatties, Tarmogoyf? It is strictly better than Watchwolf, easier to cast, and easily a 3/4 or bigger... fast! I know you have them, you have everything powerful! So I guess I'm confused on the arguement you are trying to make here, Abe.
Oh wait... one more thing, the Pridemage does synergize, you run Witness!
On a similarly exalted note, why not run 4x Noble Heriarch rather than the Birds? Swining with one critter would become sickly quickly!
My suggestions?
-4 Birds of Paradise
+4 Noble Heriarch (they make other creatures hit harder and produce all relevant colors)
-3 Watchwolf
+3 Qasali Pridemage (as explained above)
-2 Dismantling Blow
+2 Mulldrifter (reusable card draw OMG! Don't forget Evoking it and then using a death-kitty or lion to bounce it and do it again.)
So take it or leave it. Those are my thoughts.

I only have two Tarmogoyfs, one is in my 250 and the other is in my Big Box.
WTF would I ever want to remove Birds for something that DOESN"T produce blue mana? Where am I getting double blue for Equilibrium and Mystic Snake, two of the crucial cards of the deck? Am I just hoping I get the double blue in my lands and if I don't, oh well, cause at least my Birds can swing for one on the ground.
-2 Dismantling Blow
+2 Mulldrifter (reusable card draw OMG! Don't forget Evoking it and then using a death-kitty or lion to bounce it and do it again.)
You need to go read what Fleetfoot Panther does. Then look at Wilt-Leaf Liege and Tolsimir Wolfblood. Now tell me I need Mulldrifters in my deck. If my deck could run Blue creatures only, it would have had Man-o-War in it a long time ago.
It does produce blue. www.FindMagicCards.com - Noble Hierarch
And sorry about my panther mistake, you could still bounce it with the lion or the stonecloaker.
There, one mistake each, now we're even.

I thought it made W/G/R, so I stand corrected, my apologies. It would be better then, in almost every circumstance.
