Hey everyone! Round 8 of putting together $15 commander decks brings us to closing out our mono-coloured decks with Ayula, Queen Among Bears! Ayula gets bigger or fights whenever a bear enters the battlefield so we're looking to spam as many bears out as we can and protect our queen.

A quarter of the deck is made up of various bears and shapeshifters which will let Ayula get out of hand fast. Once Ayula becomes a target we're running a range of ways to protect both Ayula herself and our board like 2 totem armor effects with Snake Umbra and Spider Umbra and instant hexproof/indestructible effects. The all-stars of our protection suite are Cauldron of Souls which brings all our bears back with a -1/-1 counter that Ayula can basically clean up on ETB and Inspiring Call which protects our board while drawing a ton of cards.

The deck's also running a few of synergies with Ayula's two triggered abilities. to make the most of Ayula's +1/+1 counters we're running ways to ramp in Rishkar, Peema Renegade and Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter and card draw effects like Armorcraft Judge. To make the most of Ayula's ability to fight, we're running Foe-Razer Regent and a couple of bonus fight effects. If you have a bunch of spare snow-covered forests or a group that's happy to pretend you do, Blizzard Brawl is a good swap in here.

We have two main win cons in this deck. First, we have commander damage with Ayula's ability to hit the board early and pump herself up. Second, our board ends up getting really wide with all the bears we spam out and we're running a couple of big trample effects in Overcome Overrun and You Meet in a Tavern.
