Deck Title:
The Hold Steady - The Bear and the Maiden Fair
A bear there was, a bear, a bear!
All black and brown and covered in hair!
Three boys, a goat, and a dancing bear!
They danced and spun, right to the fair!
Oh, sweet she was, and pure, and fair!
The maid with honey up in her hair!
He smelled her on the summer air!
The maid with honey up in her hair!
From there, to here. From here! To there!
All black and brown and covered in hair!
He smelled that girl on the summer air!
The bear! The bear!
The maiden fair!
Oh, I'm a maid, and I'm pure and fair!
I'll never dance with a hairy bear!
I called a knight, but you're a bear!
All black and brown and covered in hair!
He lifted her high in the air!
He sniffed and roared and he smelled her there!
She kicked and wailed, the maid so fair!
When he licked the honey from her hair!
From there to here. From here! To there!
All black and brown and covered with hair!
He smelled that girl on the summer air!
The bear! The bear!
The maiden fair!
And the bear, the bear!
The maiden fair!
And the bear, the bear!
She sighed and she squealed and she kicked the air!
Then she sang: My bear! My bear so fair!
The bear, the bear,And the maiden fair!
From there to here. From here! To there!
All black and brown and covered in hair!
He smelled that girl on the summer air!
The bear! The bear!
The maiden fair!
And the bear, the bear!
The maiden fair!
And the bear, the bear!
The maiden fair!
And the bear, the bear!
Introduction:
When i saw this commander i knew i have to build it, i just love tribes and when they enable us to make a bear tribal i giggle, the meme is real, but more letal than ever, in the past years really awesome bears came out and give this deck some teeth.
I think Ayula, Queen Among Bears
abilities are perfect, it feats bears perfectly and are realy powerful as well, so here it is, a Ayula, Queen Among Bears, bear tribal.
5 Cool Facts About Bears:
Bears are certainly big and fluffy, but there’s a lot more than meets the eye!
A polar bear’s coat is made up of two unique layers: The shorter coat provides insulation from weather, while the longer coat prevents water from reaching the short coat layer and skin.
Each layer serves a unique purpose and allows bears to thrive in frigid conditions.
Grizzly bears possess a biting force of over 1200 PSI, which is enough to crush a bowling ball or an iron skillet.
Adult grizzly bears can run up to an incredible 40mph—the same pace as a greyhound—and would break the speed limit on many roads in the US!
Polar bears, the largest of all bear species, can weigh between 900-1500 pounds and grow approximately 6-10 feet long!
With all of these incredible physical traits, it’s no wonder that bears have proven themselves to be dominant predators in the wild.
There are eight different species of bear: North American black bears, brown bears, polar bears, Asiatic black bears (also known as moon bears due to the white, crescent-moon-shaped marking on their chests), Andean bears, panda bears, sloth bears, and sun bears.
Each species is recognizable by its distinct size, markings, and characteristics.
For example, sloth bears have adorable rounded ears, a cream-colored snout, and a unique "V" or "Y" shaped white mark on their chests.
Bears can walk a short distance on their hind legs. Bears typically stand on their hind legs to get a better view or scent of what’s in front of them.
This ability is cruelly exploited in bear dancing, as bears are able to shuffle in a way that makes it seem like they are “dancing.
Perhaps one of the lesser-known facts about bears is that they are among the most intelligent land animals in North America. They have the largest and most complex brains compared to other land mammals their size, and they rely on this brain for a number of behaviors.
For example, grizzly bears can remember hotspots for food even after ten years, and some have even been observed covering their tracks or hiding behind rocks and trees to avoid detection by hunters. Grizzly bears have also learned to camouflage their scent by rolling around in rotting flesh to sneak up on prey.

Final Thoughts:
This deck is really fun, Ayula, Queen Among Bears abilities is very fun to use, keep oponents on their toes we the imminent threat of their creatures been removed.
Also it gives the agreesivity to make this deck get the finish line.
Their is enough support so the cretures don't get dependent of Ayula, Queen Among Bears giving counters, we can buff then e beat then senseless regardless.
Note: The maybeboard is composed of cards that i own, but did not make the final list, some of them where in the deck at some point, but for a reason or another was cut. I might put back in, one or other, if i feel the need.
