Best.Deck.Ever.
Basuldur means Coat of Arms and alsoGolden Bear for a beefy. +1
Put in Coat of Arms FTW
It's interesting to note that a Bear Cub does not get stronger as it grows up. It's just as strong as the simple Grizzly Bear and Forest Bear , the magical Runeclaw Bear , and even Balduvian Bears . Bears. As in MORE THAN ONE.
Only the Golden Bear is stronger than their army-strength cubs.
Bears eat beets.
I LOVE BEARS NOW! Why aren't you using Adaptive Automaton , though?
lol sick deck, ditto on the Adaptive Automaton
lol sick deck, ditto on the Adaptive Automaton
alsoCoat of Arms :P
is win
Bear Cub for the win!
It seems that Overwhelming Stampede might be better in most cases than Overrun . One coast of arms or muraganda petroglyphs gives you a bigger boost. Like the bears though.
Daaaaaa bears.
If you reconsider getting rid of Lead the Stampede , then card:Kamahl's Summons would be a very tasty card to abuse. You should consider Door of Destinies , too, as with card:Kamahl's Summons, it becomes very effective.
At least keep it in the sideboard so you can swap out when against another tribal deck, because they'll quickly and eagerly make use of your Coat of Arms .
how about Grizzly Fate ?
Although i love bears, i think the unicorn deck i saw might replace it as the best deck ever.
brballer42;none of them have abilities because of Muraganda Petroglyphs
brballer42;none of them have abilities because of Muraganda Petroglyphs
Time to put in some Door of Destinies and Overwhelming Stampede
THANK all of you for the comments keep them comming.
Still missing Overwhelming Stampede , AEther Vial and maybe something to draw more cards when you've played them all?
AEther Vial would suck.... Only 3 cmcs in this deck! you could try Brass Herald
Check the wording of AEther Vial , MAY put charge counters. Meaning you stop at 2 counters and you can tap it and put 1 of the 20 bears that have a cmc of 2 into play. Awesome turn 2 drop for this deck, which is also awesome.
Ashcoat Bear DUR.
Splash blue for Phantasmal Bear , he's a Bear Illusion, what's not to like!?
Ashcoat doesn't work with petroglyphs out.
Yeah, I appreciate the Muraganda Petroglyphs point. However, you should definitely run card:Kamahl's Summons and Bearscape .
You want to get out the Door of Destinies reliably on turn 4 or earlier, so some mana ramp or more lands to ensure enough land draws would work wonders for this unbearably strong deck.
definitely add Alpha Status
and also Words of Wilding .. great anti-mill also
@lbiedma ,Phantasmal Bear isnt lulzy enough.
No Werebear
pretty neat idea wonder howed it fair in tournament +1 from me
I'd play Caller of the Claw to give you an out against Wrath of God. He's an elf, but summons bears, so that should work flavor-wise. Also with that lopsided mana curve I'd play Aether Vial Maindeck.
oh wow +1, I'm going to try to make this I think, but maybe with some cheaper cards instead of the rares
I'm making this deck +1
The Beast Ever, that's all :D
Yeah, that's Ashcoat Bear , but he can't use it because the petroglyphs won't buff it.
Also, have you considered Wild Pair ?
I meant to say before that he should re-add Lead the Stampede for card:Kamahl's Summons abuse.
Coat of Arms would also pump your opponents tribal decks so i would suggest splashing some white so you can play a few Nevermore and prevent a board wipe.
Want to check my decks out? I see that you also know legacy is awesome. I like having a huge selection of cards. BTW try Mythic Proportions
I bet this even plays well. Rediculous! +1
I might take Golden Bear out cause on turn 4+ you'll probably never wanna play him with all the other 4 cost goodies lol
I agree Golden Bear seemed like a good idea when I suggested it but I think now -4 Golden Bear +2 Cultivate
Then you'll have 60 cards
Love it! +1 from me mate, great work.
This is brutal XD
Why not use Ashcoat Bear as well. I mean, it's got flash and still costs 2cmc which is a nice bonus.
I would call it... Pedobear's Deck xD
This deck is full of lolz. +1
Macnzich If I'm correct the flash ability of Ashcoat Bears would counter the effect of the Muraganda Petroglyphs .
The almost endless supply of 2/2's really lays down the aggro! This deck is amazing, it's almost unstoppable. If only they could have trample, but I guess Muraganda Petroglyphs is kind of necessary.
I'd drop the peroglyphs for those. I'd love to see the other persons face when that card drops.
hello please comment on my page i need your feedback to make this deck more effective thanks.. deck:green-black-elf-deck-legacy-mtg-deck
I beat it with my Eldrazi Mill Deck but seriously it kicked the butt of every other deck I can think of great job! Love the Flavor! Bear cub is adorable! +1
Omg, I BEARly believed it. I'll have to go to the MAUL and get this honey-sweet deck. +1
hello please comment on my page i need your feedback to make this deck more effective thanks.. deck:green-black-elf-deck-legacy-mtg-deck
When i saw the 400 variations of the 2/2 bear i just had to +1.
man. this is so nice... not to mention i HAVE A THING for bears... have to agree bear cub is the cutest...
But hey, no way someone could beat Forest bear on the most funny list.. Its like how my kid brother use to draw bears. lol..
But seriously, this can whoop any deck.. just humbling to see it come from bears instead.
Good job! +1,000,000 :)
--->Insert a megusta face here<---
I hate how many people comment on this page, because every day, I have about 10 notifications from this deck. gfjkasd XD
i like it it works and its pretty fast like elves i would recommend some Overwhelming stampedes or some overruns to make it faster and to give everything of yours trample
simple but great! nice deck! +1
in tribal deck wars maybe put out Coat of Arms because you'll also pump his/her creatures especially for those decks that are faster than you.
Please take a look at my decks i need some constructive feedback
-->Rush Goblins
Fact: Bears beats Battlestar Galactica
Why not to use Doubling Chant ?
PS: I do really love your deck. Seriously, I want to marry it. :3
This deck is stoppable by Stormtide Leviathan , in case you can't defeat your opponent in eight turns. I think you should add Cobbled Wings , or maybe Canopy Claws to the sidedeck. I don't know which card would work better.Canopy Claws is an one mana cost instant which includes flashback that costs the same.On the other hand, Cobbled Wings is a cheap equipment that could stay in battlefield forever (flying bears, LOL).
What do you think?
This deck is pretty cool, the only problem i can find is that you need Overwhelming Stampede just to fend off against mass token decks where they can block your bear with weak creatures
Doubling Chant I say!
This deck is so good I can't bear to look at It.
YEAH BEARZ!!!!
i play a cavarn in my turbofog (no creatures) just so i could name hippogryph. though it might actually be worth it in here to play at least 2
some creature suggestions: Werebear, ulvenwald bear, striped bears, razorclaw bear.Definitely add druids familiar and ashcoat bear.maybe sideboard spectral bear and pale bear.also maybe Grizzly Fate
After playtesting a bit I'm sorry I suggested Golden Bear all that time ago. An extra 2 mana for a critter +2+1 bigger isn't worth it in a deck that routinely gives you 10/10s by turn 6 or 7. I think the extra 4-drop slows you down, with Door of Destinies already stopping you from casting a bear on turn 4. Not once did I draw a Muraganda Petroglyphs but I imagine it feels a bit underwhelming if you got out an Adaptive Automaton out and the door in your hand. I'd honestly rather have another 4x2cmc bears more. But the thing I wanted the most each game was to be able to play a 3cmc card on turn 5 along with a bear. Something like Turn 4 Forest, Door; Turn 5 Forest, Beast Within (to nuke whatever their game play is relying on), and a bear. Turn 6 Forest Bear, Bear, Bear Turn 7 Coat, bear, swing.
Further on removal I was thinking Prey Upon or even Ulvenwald Tracker might help round the deck out?
As for the whipe comments, I was thinking Fresh Meat could work well but why have that when you can have Caller of the Claw and Coat of Arms ? Waaaay better.
Golden Bear is not very good, I agree. Muraganda Petroglyphs is really useful though. Not underwhelming at all. A few cards that actually do something that may be alot better than all these 1G for a 2/2 bears: Ulvenwald Bear has an awesome trigger and can pump anything, card:Druid's Familiar is very good with 6 power for 4 mana so he's a definite, Spectral Bears for sideboard maybe, and maybe Striped Bears for cantripping fun.
Also, Ashcoat Bear is strictly better than all the 2/2 Grizzly Bears because it can be flashed in. Maybe when they're attacking.... could be useful.
I would get rid of Balduvian Bears for Ashcoat because he has the worst art.
Well all of those suggested bears do not work with Muraganda Petroglyphs , so maybe we agree more than you think.
I would also repeat what everyone else has been saying, Ashcoat Bear is a great choice if you eliminate the petroglyph. If you have a Door of Destinies out you can wait until your opponent chooses blockers than BAM overwhelm them.
WTF!!!! this is some pure BULL, half these dang cards should have been banned by now. This deck is broken and is going to represent at least 80% of legacy decklists from here on. THANK YOU FOR DESTROYING THE BEST MAGIC FORMAT YOU DOUCHE.
It's okay, aloehart199. While all of these bears (except Balduvian Bears ) will probably be banned in legacy, they'll only be restricted in vintage, so you'll still be able to play them, or at least 1x of each, which should be plenty. I've got a hunch that these bears will be perfect in an explosive combo deck- move over, ANT, it's time for BAN! (BEAR-Ad Nauseam).
Actually, they wouldn't restrict Bear Cub , that'd just be inhumane and would make bears an endangered species.
deck:ban-1
This is truly wonderful. The speed with which you are able to bring out such powerful creatures and thereby whittle away ever more quickly at the opponent's life points is the strong point of this deck. Its weak link, however, is its lack of defense against flying types. Versus a comparable bird deck, it would really come down to who gets the better draw more quickly. Unfortunately I am unable to suggest any specific cards that would help in this area, but it's something to consider.
Gravity Well could deal with flying.
Grizzly Fate maybe?
Look at those bear mothafuckas, so chill. Forest bear is all "come at me fucka" and baby bear is all chill lookin at bee's 'n shit. Grizzly bear is tryin to copy runeclaw bear and golden bear is all "check me out fuckas! doin the thrilla".
You forgot Balduvian Bears, which I'm pretty sure is gazing in awe at Golden Bear's dance skills. Also, just to nitpick, Grizzly Bear came first so Runeclaw bear is the one doing the copying.
Aw hell nah. You did not just come fuck up mah comments. Grizzly bear is a cheap ass mothafucka so he cant afford his own moves.
Ok, believe what you want. I guess my affection for Grizz is just my age showing (when I first started playing magic, they still made cards with Banding!)
I love your deck, I been playing my Humanity's Unwavering Might vs it, Your bears are the only thing that can hold my humans back for a few turns. I would love it if sometime we can get together and chat and maybe come up with a better versions are are decks.
Y U NO RANCOR BEARZ?!
I hate to say this, but Balduvian Bears doesn't share a creature type with any of the other cards. Its creature type is "Bears" not "Bear"
Just saying

card:Akroma's Memorial. DO IT.
Da Bears.
I made a bear deck based around Grizzly Fate (Grizzly Fate), you should check it out. 4 bear tokens for 5 cmc. And Bear Umbra will help you get the mana. Or Extraplanar Lens .
Ah-Ha-Ha, i get it.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!
I LOVE the bear theme good draw hand to. :)
Have you tested it against a mono blue control that always cancels and returns? Other then that..... BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!O.o
But.. But.... But it's Bears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But.. But.... But it's Bears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its an amazing deck, but my friend just made proxies of it and i beat him with my (budget) The Hunt of Flames deck. It doesnt even have the Huntmaster, but i still beat it :)
hehehe, congratulations izik99 you just proved a point I was telling some of my friends. It doesn't matter how much the deck costs or if it has a lot of rares in it, if it works and is consistent, even the cheapest budget decks can be more powerful.
kudos to you! :D
Nicholasgambit666 thanks! i definetely didnt think it woulld happen myself :D
i find it funny that as Bear Cub is just as strong as a Grizzly Bear
This deck needs Werebear just for the flavor text. It gives Coat of Arms more of a themed meaning.
This deck puts MTG on Steven Colbert's Threatdown. o.0

its sex with bears the deck Ogmatic
Storm Crow has nothing on this
Thanks for this. I love it! I made a similar deck using pegasuses (Look mommy, there's a pegasus in the sky). It's for my girlfriend who enjoys a good pegasus and to be played against your deck. Though I think the Coat of Arms might get out of hand. Check it out and offer any suggestions if you'd like.
ShadowDrDoom - Balduvian Bears is a bear - http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=2550
This deck gives me wood.
:)
You Won't Have To Play Dead With These Bears is my mono-green bear control deck. ;)
Ashcoat Bear is an upgrade.
This. Deck. Is. Awesome.I agree with Werebear , it ends up being a 4/4 anyway, so the Muraganda Petroglyphs doesn't affect it for the most part. It also ends up being able to get you mana, and the cost isn't any more than the other bears.
I want to marry this deck.
Words cannot describe.
dem bears.... :D I love it! +1
Green Sun's Zenith ? Want a massive nasty win con? Triumph of the Hordes thats a giant bear scratch to the face! ahhaah xD
Wow, only 27 upvotes away from being the highest scoring deck on TappedOut! Great Job!
BEARS.

Love it. Bears are just so chill. Look at Bear Cub just sittin around, looking at bees. So chill. I would add that banner or flag artifact that costs 5 and gives your creatures +1/+1 for all other creatures with the same creature type.
+1 from me.
