So this started as a Meme. I wanted to do a somewhat funny EDH deck, Headed by Surrak Dragonclaw and depicted lots of fight mechanics, mainly focused on Outmuscle and Savage Punch because it's funny. I was interested in doing a Bear tribal angle, but I started to realize there were some pretty legit combos to be had for Bears! So this is now a seemingly competitive mashup with a funny twist!

So, here are the strategies. (It's surprisingly versatile)

We go wide with some token production and doublers. Not the primary wincon, but we can deal some good damage with Beastmaster Ascension and Craterhoof Behemoth . We can continue to draw a ton of cards through this angle with Kindred Discovery , Season of Growth , and Path of Discovery

Lands matter (In Graveyards) with Ayula's Influence , Crucible of Worlds , Splendid Reclamation , Titania, Protector of Argoth , and Sylvan Safekeeper . Full suite of of lands that sacrifice for benefits or cycle (Minus Fetches). Most of our ramp is in exchange for sacrificing a land, which we won't mind. Any of the discard or sacrifice effects can feed Bearscape . This all includes some spot Land Destruction.

Mind our own business while we ramp and draw cards in search of our combo pieces.

Words of Wilding + Slate of Ancestry + some bears and mana = Essentially double bears

Words of Wilding + Fecundity + Ashnod's Altar = Infinite Colorless Mana and BEARS! Add Purphoros, God of the Forge for dmg.

OR Words of Wilding + Skullclamp + Ashnod's Altar = PROFIT

Add in Doubling Season or the other doublers...

Here's how this goes off:

Equip any creature to Skullclamp

Sac the clamped creature to Ashnod's Altar

On the stack is two card draws and two floating colorless mana.

Spend 1 mana on Words of Wilding. This will produce 2 bears due to Doubling Season..

Spend the second colorless to equip a bear with Skullclamp.

Rinse, repeat. Nets any combination of infinite colorless mana, infinite bears, and infinite draw.

Again Purphoros can ping the table to death, Ayula, Queen Among Bears can pump them and make them fight EVERYTHING, and/or we can overrun with INFINITE BEARS!
