And, as SpM said, the only real possibility for the phantom is werewolf. Are the two perhaps working in unison? I wonder.

No.
If I was a wolf I would not have allowed my fellow wolf to defend me, and I imagine that if SP was a wolf he would refrain from defending a fellow wolf- particularly when the need is not desperate (I only have one vote, so it doesn't look like I need to be saved).
Now, how about some pre-night strategy?
Most people have accepted at this point that it is unlikely that I am guilty. This makes me a target tonight because wolves usually try to keep the most suspicious villagers around (in other words, they kill the ones most provably innocent).
Also, I'm a pretty smart guy, so that also would make the wolves want to kill me.
Third, it is possible that the seer will dream of me tonight or the next night. Though the seer likely believes I am innocent (as most people do), he/she will probably want to be sure because of my reputation for being a formidable foe. If the seer dreams of me, I will become a
proven innocent- something that can really hurt the wolves.
The wolves know that if enough proven innocents are floating around, the village
will win, because if the village absolutely has to it will institute a mass lynching enforced by the proven innocents.
Now, if I am found to be innocent but I am killed during the night, the seer's dream has been rendered useless. Therefore, the fact that the seer is likely to dream of me makes the wolves REALLY want me dead.
So, I would like to make a suggestion. Seer- go ahead and dream of me. If you are able to later move me to "proven innocent" status it will be helpful to the village.
Ranger- guard me tonight. The wolves want to kill me because I am smart and I might soon be a proven innocent, so it might be worth your effort to keep me safe tonight.
Just imagine- what if the wolves decide to kill me and are foiled?! No wolf kill! That would be excellent!
And I hear you saying, "Well, they won't try now that they think you're going to be guarded."
I'm not so sure. I think that they may very well out think themselves and think, "Since the Ranger thinks the wolves won't kill Phantom, he/she'll probably guard someone else, thus leaving Phantom open." And then they will try to kill me.
Werebear- tonight, kill whoever you think is a werewolf. If you're wrong (you probably will be) then you still win because you will kill a villager, so you have nothing to lose.
