So after some time i've decided to do a PROPER description. Enjoy the read!

                            BEARS

So. What inspired me to make this deck were 2 simple cards. Bear's Companion and Dragon-Scarred Bear. I always liked bears but this cemented it for me. I knew what I wanted for standard. So after much consideration this is what I came up with. I have considered some other cards but we'll burn that bridge when we get to it. For now lets discuss strategies. The basic point of this deck is to summon bears and then make them powerful. Now why add blue? To not only use Bear's Companion but also because there are a few good blue cards that benefit this deck. Archetype of Imagination gives all creatures Flying and having 2 increases the chances of getting one. Additionally, Crypsis gives said bears protection from the opponents monsters for the duration of the turn EVEN if its their turn, making for good blockers. and with so many ways to get counters, that just makes them even more powerful. under the right circumstances, I can have 3-4 6/6 Flying, Trample, Hexproof bears. and Surrak Dragonclaw allows them to be better protected.
