This guy can get out of hand... FAST. Pair him up with other great green creatures like Predator Ooze, Dungrove Elder, or even Ghoultree, and you will be able to inflict a world of hurt very quickly. This guy goes absolutely fantastic in wolfrun decks.

Is there any reason this card isn't stupidly overpowered? If your opponent isn't playing black/blue or wolfirs you've basically won. 5 mana for a total of 12/12? Wolfir comes in as 8/8 if he's soulbound and he gives another 4/4 to what he soulbounds too.
Lets compare.
As white you get to drop Avacyn for 8 mana, and she comes in as Wolfir without helping someone else. Or you can pay 5 mana for one of the mana 3/3s or 4/4s available. Not a lot of thought went into the design of this card, and like most cards like that, it gets 5 stars.

Like ElCarl said, this and Champion of Lambholt is good except that if the champion came into play first then it will be 6/6. So an 8/8 and 6/6 and now we got rancor back. Mono green beat downs are looking good.

Exelia, the text on the card tells you the answer. Wolfir Silverheart remains soulbounded with another creature "as long as you control both of them." So, yes, you have to control the other creature for Wolfir's soulbound power to work with it.
Great card! This is the card that finally made me start playing Magic--the artwork is so cool, I couldn't resist buying the intro deck. And then another. And then a fat pack. And then...

This is on par with Vorapede, if not better.
Which makes me question it's rare status.
It's got it's up and downs, but 12 power for 5 mana is kind of pushing the limit.
-
If it were a 3/3 with Soulbound +3/+3 it would've still been great (9 power for 5 mana "like" Precursor Golem)

Question: Does the creature you soulbond with have to be under your control?
Recently in a two-headed giant game, I wanted to soulbond this guy to my partners Angel of Jubilation to get a giant flyer. This sparked some debate and ultimately I didn't get to do it. But is it legal?
Edit: Thanks for the reply Paulonius :)

So let me get this straight- Avacyn returns and rather than destroy the werewolves she turns them all into furries? And now, the furries get a p/t boost from being soulmates with each other?
>_<
On a more serious note, soulbond is an ETB trigger, so while it is on the stack he's still a 4/4, and easier to get rid of. Or you could just kill all of the other creatures your opp. controls.

@thinkoriginal: I understand that part, but what if they are simply in combat and the soulbonded creature dies as a result of straightforward combat damage? Is Wolfir then reduced to a 4/4 after combat (because the soulbonded creature died during the damage assignment step)? And therefore, if he took 6 damage in combat, he dies, right?

@Drtony: combat is all dealt at the same time. So Wolfir would deal damage as the same time as his soulbond died so he would still deal 8 damage.
