The List Is Set —July 3, 2019

And I'm only missing less than a handful of cards, Words of Wilding seems to be going up in price and down in availability, and some of the pricier vanilla bears will have to wait until I can manage to actually get my paws on them. Added in Panharmonicon and Hardened Scales to stack on some more multipliers. Eventually (if nothing gets destroyed and everything is in play), say I'll have 4 lands in hand, and 4 land drops per turn from Rites of Flourishing, Ghirapur Orrery and Storm Cauldron. I can use these to make 3 bears each--1 from discarding to Ayula's Influence the first time, playing them from my graveyard with Crucible of Worlds to make another 1 from NOT drawing a card from Horn of Greed to instead Words of Wilding which will bounce them to my hand again with Storm Cauldron and then finally 1 more from discarding once again to Influence, equating out to 12 bears per turn, BEFORE factoring Panharmonicon, Ayula triggers, Hardened Scales and eventually Primal Vigor if I feel like going absolutely crazy...

Anyways after initial tests I received a crash course in the strategy's weaknesses and strengths, which I will probably get into more at a later point. Thanks for reading.

Any aversions to using changelings? I would think Chameleon Colossus immediately becomes one of your better bears. Are Spectral Bears too hard to find or too narrow? And including Beast Within and/or Force of Vigor gives some much needed additional removal.
