Howling Moon
The two abilities point in opposite directions, and that split is the whole design. The combat-step pump is a proactive Wolf-and-Werewolf payoff: a repeatable +2/+2 that dodges the transform-flip fragility of most werewolf tribal by living on an enchantment rather than a creature that can be flipped back or killed. The second clause is a defensive tax that only opponents can trigger, punishing the double-spell turns that combo and control decks are built around by spawning a 2/2 blocker on their nickel. What ties them together is that the tokens the opponent hands you are Wolves, which means their aggression feeds the first ability's target pool. An enchantment that gets stronger the more your opponent tries to go off is an unusual thing to hand a green creature deck, and it means the card scales inversely to the game plan across the table: the harder they push spell velocity, the wider your battlefield gets, and every new token is another body eligible for the combat buff. It is a rare tribal anchor that refuses to sit still while the opponent does the interesting things.
