Hello! Nice to see you are interested in Ayula, Queen among Bears!

Update 11.10.2020: My list has since changed and my general focus will be turning Ayula into a 1 vs 1 Voltron deck that wins with commander damage. It will be updated here soon.

This is my current decklist. (22.12.2019) and I will create a Primer for the deck here in the coming days.

While making this deck it was important to me to create a highly consistant and interactive deck.

Ayula is a great tribal bear commander with an amazing control feature. The fight ability lets me control the board without losing tempo due to having to play removal spells that dont evolve my boardstate.

Since this deck doesn't work very well without my commanders abilities I rely heavily on the ability to protect and replay Ayula during the game. The deck has 9 land tutors which can fetch a total of 17 lands. Other ramp spells are Sol Ring , Emerald Medallion , Wild Growth

I decided not to run any mana dorks and rocks (besides Sol Ring) because they are much easier to remove.

To protect Ayula I have included the essential Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves . Heroic Intervention , Blossoming Defense and one of my favorites: Savage Summoning . Temur Sabertooth eventhough a cat, not only helps to bounce bears for Ayula triggers, he also helps to protect Ayula herself.

tbc.

I may have left out some obvious inclusions due to budgetary restrictions.

Any help and suggestions are very much appreciated!
