A closer look at Huntmaster of the Fells Dark Ascension

Huntmaster of the Fells was a bit of a dark horse in the recently concluded Dark Ascension Pro Tour in Honolulu.

Not only was it part of Brian Kiblers winning deck, it also played a major factor in the very close semi final match between Kibler and Jon Finkel.

Huntmaster of the Fells - Double faced card - Dark Ascension

It is not just the fact that this card will give you 2 life and a 2/2 token wolf creature when put into play. It is the fact that if no spells were cast last turn the Huntmaster will transform into a 4/4 with trample and deal 2 damage to your opponent as well as 2 damage to target creature.

With this card you can majorly control the playstyle of your opponent as he is forced to try and cast spells every turn.

I have to admit I wasn't super excited about the Huntmaster of the Fells until I saw it in action at the Pro Tour, but now I am pretty taken aback by just how powerful this card can be.
