| [[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]] is a {{C|Dunland}} [[Minion]] from the [[The Two Towers]] set. Along with {{Card|Freca, Hungry Savage}} he is one of the two named Dunland Men and the only Dunland minion who is naturally Fierce.

| While his stats and access to {{C|Dunland}} tools makes him a solid fighter, he is most valued for his Response ability and was heavily relied on to claim sites before {{Card|Freca, Hungry Savage}}'s release in [[Reflections]]. He can be used with {{Card|Hillman Tribe}} to take control of two sites at once (the number Dunland needs for powerful cards such as {{Card|Ready to Fall}} and {{Card|Dunlending Elder}}), although the Free Peoples player will only have to win that one skirmish to prevent this. Against a Fellowship with strong skirmishing potential it may be better to use the {{Twilight|4}} to play {{Card|Saruman, Rabble-rouser}} instead and ensure Hillman Tribe will win (or all three).

|
| Because of how responses work, Wulf is able to use his ability and claim a site even if he wasn't in play when the skirmish was won -- an essential trick to get around the exertions of {{C|Rohan}} mounts. {{Card|Dunlending Arsonist}} and {{Card|Hillman Mob}} are the most popular choices for doing so due to their balance of twilight cost and strength. In a similar manner, {{Card|Dunlending Looter}} and {{Card|Hillman Rabble}} can immediately stack themselves on a site Wulf claims as a result of them winning a skirmish.

| |
|
| Several Dunland cards and effects can make minions fierce, but most of them are contingent upon winning the first skirmish. If the Free Peoples must use pumps to beat Wulf the first time they may not be able to win again, making him an excellent bearer of {{Card|War Club}}. A common tactic, especially for Rohan, is to resolve Wulf's skirmish first and exert or wound him so that if another minion wins its skirmish, Wulf will not have the vitality to control a site. War Club greatly increases the risk in doing so, opening the door for the Shadow player to make some plays.

| == Deckbuilding Strategy == | | |
| Most Dunland minions are focused on doing one thing, yet Wulf's fierce keyword and response ability enable him to stay relevant both before the Shadow player has controlled a site and after they have controlled several. He is a unique minion but not ''essential'' to the deck, making him slightly more difficult to plan around than other Dunland minions. The exact number of Wulf to pack (har har) into a deck will vary: a slim deck may be hindered by more than 1 or 2 copies, while a larger deck with aggressive cycling will have no issue with 4.
| | = General Strategy = |
| | |
| | !Wulf, along with [[lotr09002|Freca, Hungry Savage]], is one of two named [Dunland] men and the only [Dunland] minion who is naturally Fierce. While this combined with his strength and access to Dunland's tools makes him a strong fighter, he is most valued for his Response ability and was heavily relied on to claim sites before Freca's release in Reflections. He is often used with Hillman Tribe to control two sites in one skirmish, the number Dunland needs for powerful cards such as Ready to Fall and Dunlending Elder. Hides is necessary to keep him safe from direct wounding, though he remains vulnerable to direct exertions. |
| | |
| | Because of how skirmishes are resolved, Wulf is able to use his ability and claim a site if played at the end of a skirmish phase even if he wasn't in play when the skirmish was won. The most popular choices for accomplishing this are Dunlending Arsonist and Hillman Mob due to their balance of twilight cost and strength, though Wild Man of Dunland and Hill Clan are also capable of it. This is a good tactic when facing [Rohan] fellowships whose mounts will exert Wulf before he has a chance to use his ability, though it may be a waste of Wulf's Fierce keyword if an extra site is unneeded. |
