Bird Admirer // Wing Shredder
Werewolves rarely get to hold a wall's job, and that is the quiet tension here: a 1/4 with reach is a defensive brick, but the transform mechanic pulls toward flipping it into an attacker. On its day face, four toughness and reach make it a genuine roadblock against fliers and ground beaters alike, precisely the sort of static, do-nothing turn that satisfies the daybound condition. To hold night and grow the werewolf side, you cast fewer spells; to keep the reach blocker on defense, you cast more. The card sits inside that pull without ever resolving it for you, which is the werewolf design in miniature: the tempo you want on offense is the one that flips it back to the blocker, and vice versa. Both faces carry reach, though, so the flying-coverage half of its job survives the transform even as the body swings from a stubborn 1/4 wall to a night-side beater. That continuity is the small mercy in an otherwise punishing framework: whichever way the day/night track turns, this creature never stops answering fliers.
