That's the problem with banding, it was almost allways overpriced.
Now, if these wolves cost 2 mana, THEN they would be playable. If it was straight banding, even better.
Hmm, let me think...
Dire Wolves GW
Summon Wolves
Banding
2/2
Now That would be a card worth playing!

Did anyone notice that the casting cost on the card is 3G while the Oracle says 2G?

The leftmost trees on the horizon of the picture seem to form the name "MArK." Could be coincidental, but keep in mind this is the same Ron Spencer who hid the name "MIKE" on Goblin Grenade.

It is weird, but the actual cost of this card is not 3G, but 2G. This happened to Fylgja too, but it was already fixed. I hope they correct this one too. Anyway 2G fos this card is already too much. I agree with the previous comment that said the problem with banding is that most of the creatures with it were overcosted.

Winter is coming... and House Stark is screwed if THIS is its most powerful creature. At least the Lannisters have Savannah Lions...

Nice art and interesting execution, but a tad weak. A nice addition to a wolf themed deck, but even then there's better cards that could take its place.
And if regular wolves are 2/2's, a dire wolf should at least be a 3/3, like watchwolf.

I love the idea. I've tried. Keeps failing.

Errata win. Before errata this card costs 4. Now it cost three. (No, really, check.)

Dire Wolves, Grizzly Bears,Llanowar Elves and Savannah Lions Magic has a history of naming cards in groups of animals. It is kind of disappointing because if Grizzly Bears is 2 bears then that mean 1 grizzly is actually a 1/1 creature? we have seen humans being 1/1 so that means a grizzly, dire wolf, and a human all have the same power and toughness? Now under the new names we see that the creature is singular and its power in toughness is referring to a single creature.
