In an engine deck Werewolf becomes useful because if you draw your entire deck, and still have Werewolves left over, you can use them in the [[Night]] phase. In [[Big Money]] games, Werewolf functions as a [[soft terminal]], allowing your deck to sustain more of them than similar draw cards such as {{card|Smithy}} or {{card|Margrave}}. Finally in tight races for victory points, giving your opponent {{Hex|Misery}} or curses may be the difference between victory and defeat. | In an engine deck Werewolf becomes useful because if you draw your entire deck, and still have Werewolves left over, you can use them in the [[Night]] phase.
