Warg Tactics
AI draftAI-generated draft analysis — not yet human-reviewed. Treat with healthy skepticism.Limited summary
A flexible common that is either efficient sideboard-quality flying removal or a protection trick that leaves behind a permanent +1/+1 counter. It is particularly valuable in BG, where turning a 3-power creature into a 4-power creature can permanently enable Ferocious while hexproof protects the investment.

Play around this
When the opponent leaves two mana including green open, avoid relying on targeted removal against their most important creature unless you can respond again; Warg Tactics can grant hexproof and blank your spell.
Gameplay notes
Prefer using the pump mode in response to removal or during combat rather than spending it proactively. In Ferocious decks, prioritize placing the counter on a 3-power creature so it remains a 4-power enabler after the turn ends; otherwise, preserve the card to answer a relevant flyer.
Key synergies
Putting the counter on The Chief Warg makes it a 4/4, allowing it to enable its own Ferocious attack trigger on future turns; hexproof can also save this central card from removal.
The permanent counter turns Bejeweled Warg from 3 power into a Ferocious-enabling 4-power threat, while temporary hexproof helps it survive removal and keep generating combat-damage rewards.
Warg Tactics can turn another 3-power creature into a 4-power Ferocious enabler before Wilderland Scrounger attacks, immediately unlocking Scrounger's team-wide +1/+1 counter trigger.
By permanently upgrading a 3-power creature to 4 power, Warg Tactics enables Nighthowl Pursuer to attack as a 3/3 menace rather than a fragile 1/1.
If the opponent tries to remove the creature targeted by Troll Negotiations, Warg Tactics can give it hexproof to stop the interaction while adding another counter and trample; the extra size also helps it survive the fight.
