. We can stretch that to say they see themselves as the ruling class, and perhaps Edgar Markov actually had motivations toward the good of all when he created Innistrad's vampires. After all, doing so put the plane into balance, in a way.
I'm okay with Vampires being
Werewolves being blue is a bit more of a stretch. They clearly wouldn't embrace the scholarly, textbook-loving, wizardly side of blue. But that doesn't mean that they can't seek perfection and self-improvement, which are blue traits. Maybe the wedge Werewolves see their non-human, transformed sides as improved versions of themselves.
Perhaps the wedge werewolves are less "in your face" and more invested in trickery and deception, as well.
With all that in mind, I present Meinhard. Cursed with an inability to become a werewolf himself, Meinhard instead learned magic that allows him to bring out the "gift" in others.
Great way of referencing UG penchant for knowing morphs with the temur of a werewolf wedge.
Would you be bothered if I tried to piggyback something off of this idea?
No, I'd be flattered.
Temur were blue not because of a philosophical connection but rather due to their living in a frozen landscape. It was elemental, not philosophical. It's alluded strongly in today's Planeswalker's guide that melting the Qal Sisma's snows and glaciers is hat removed teh blue influences in Temur.
I don't necessarily agree that the Temur didn't show any blue in their philosophies, and I don't see how your point is relevant to this card. Are you suggesting that the wedge werewolves could be justified by making them ice-wolves or water-wolves?
I think Doug at least tried to justify the blue in Temur philosophy. I'm happy with the werewolves being as blue as Temur is, anyway :)
Their vision quest shaman guys at least seemed a bit blue.
@L2i0n0k7: Actually, I would put blue in the werewolf by emphasizing the moon connection. "Moon magic"-themed spells would do a very good job here. You wouldn't even be the first to draw a werewolf/ice connection. The spellwolves of Dominic Deegan have done that theme too.
I've never heard of Dominic Deegan.
Meinhard here does emphasize the moon connection. I'm glad you think that's a good direction.
