In addition to being fairly powerful, Reckless Waifu looks like Lightning from FFXIII! <3 4.5/5

Punishes you opponent for not 1st or 2nd turn drop. And Waif is just fun to say.

Great one drop, although I think that the Delver of Secrets better serves its purpose.

Amazing when it flips. Very mediocre when it doesn't. Powerful, but consistency is definitely an issue, since anything from a Ponder to a random mana dork can screw you up. Still, the potential of a 3/2 is scary.

Probably the best werewolf in the set, since turn 1 is when most opponents are least likely to be able to cast a spell. When this came out turn 1 and I had the play at the prerelease, it was hard to lose.

This and Stromkirk Noble are epic one-drops for red. RDW of some kind will be epic.

This is my waifu. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My waifu is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My waifu without me is useless. Without my waifu, I am useless. I must transform my waifu true. I must burn straighter than my enemy who is trying to combo me. I must burn him before he combos me. I will...
My waifu and myself know that what counts in war is not the spells we cast, the noise of our incinerates, nor the smoke we make. We know it is the hits that count. We will hit...
My waifu is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its power, and its toughness. I will ever guard it against the ravages of sweaty fingers and spilled drinks. I will keep my waifu clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...
Before God I swear this creed.
My waifu and myself are the defenders of my plane. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until there is no enemy, but PEACE.

Dies to Geistflame. Obviously this is the better card, but in case it becomes really a THING, a terror of Standard, Geistflame to me looks like great tech. If you cast it on turn 1, you have a decent chance of Flashbacking it. I predict before the block is over we will have some very good ways to manipulate flashback costs. An instant that deals damage on turn 1, and then flashbacks, is very good. It hits creatures unlike Bump in the Night. I'm just saying, we never have a block go by without the mechanics getting better stuff over time, and Geistflame just has so much potential as a one-drop instant, that roughly any thing at all that makes it better should make it worth it.
As for the Werewolf deck,
4x Kessig Wolf Run
4x Reckless Waif
4x Mayor of Avabruck
4x Kruin Outlaw
4x Instigator Gang
4x Garruk Relentless
4x Moonmist
4x Full Moon's Rise
These are just plain IN or you're doing it wrong.
Does anybody else think it's really, really sad that Moonmist doesn't help Garruk?
Or would that be stupid and broken?

Darth Paralax's deck is painful to look at. There is heavy reliance on moonmist, and no other provision for getting them flipped. 4x full moon's rise is not required. The mana curve is way too high. The odds of drawing no 1 or 2 drop creatures in your opening hand are 34.6%.
But hey, I agree that this is the best werewolf. Oh wait someone else said that. I guess I disagree with everything DP said.

@DarthParallax So you just take a bunch of the werewolves, and other cards that say "werewolf" and "transform" on them, and shuffle it up and play? This is why I prefer Werebears. Then again, I prefer Werebears to a lot of things.
At first it seemed meh, however with a lot of control decks running around in T2 this girl ends up as a pseudo Goblin Guide as a turn one play.

my turn 1: Me: Reckless Waif, go Them: ... opps. turn 1: Them: ... Me: responses? Them: land, pass turn. My turn 2: Me: Transform, bash you for 3. Them: ... The "reckless wife" is the second best one-drop in standard after Stromkirk Noble. I wouldn't put her in constructed most of the time, but she is good.

I really love this card, mainly due to flavor. The idea of this little girl turning into a werewolf and tearing someone's face off is really fun. Also, I never get mad when my opponent kills her, because I get to call them a child killer afterwards. lol

Even if this is the only werewolf in your deck, you should still run it IMO. I love this card. Red's always had a combatant for Delver, it's just most players have overlooked it.
There's a card coming out from Avacyn Restored: Vexing Devil
{R}
When Vexing Devil enters the battlefield, any opponent may have it deal 4 damage to him or her. If a player does, sacrifice Vexing Devil
4/3
You heard me right. {R} for a 4/3. Red is getting more and more tempting... (there's a devil planeswalker coming out too)

Its so sad delver beats this card on so may levels that it has just become an obsolete option.
And then we see turn 1 Stromkirk noble vs turn one this, and I cry knowing the vampire wins out, yet again.
No love for werewolves, it seems. When innastrad came out, this card was sub par. now it is just not fast enough to compete.

Transform is just a bad mechanic. You have to not play your hand for an entire turn to get them to transform, most likely that your opponent won't play any spells, and then if two spells are played in a turn the card transforms back. Standard players much love playing the game every other turn.

I have made it my personal goal to make the best deck possible using only one-drops and win a tournament with it. Innistrad has some of the best one drop spells of all time. Stromkirk Noble, Delver of Secrets, Vexing Devil, and this are some of the best one drop creatures in the game and are auto includes in my deck. That being said delver is probably the better card compared to this, but more narrow. In a deck that has lots of instants and sorceries Delver is the better card, but in a deck that's fairly light on them this card will flip more consistently. This card fits into most every deck that runs red while delver is really dependent in what deck your using. I will take delver over the waif for the deck I'm building because of the habit of it flipping back over on turn 2.

T2: Transform Reckless Waif. Play Swamp. Cast Tainted Strike, Assault Strobe and Mutagenic Growth. Game Over.
Standard legal as well.
