This deck aims to be decently competititve while still encompassing the hilarity and meme potential of bear tribal.

Value Cards

Our objective is quite straightforward: winning through combat damage. To achieve that, we have a couple of value cards that sort of offset the obvious drawbacks that come with playing a bunch of vanilla 2/2s for 2.

• Cloudstone Curio is the best support card we have, and is going to give us a lot of mileage out of our bears. Not only does it synergize with our commander, allowing us either to stack lots of counters on something or repeatedly fight creatures, but it also works well with many of the other value cards in this deck.

• Panharmonicon has a place in many a creature deck, and it's no slouch in this deck either. It will let us both grow a bear and fight with it with every single bear entering the battlefield. Like Cloudstone Curio, it also works well with our value cards, including Cloudstone Curio itself.

• Rhonas's Monument plays two important roles in this deck. Firstly, it makes most of our bears cost 1 or 2, making them easy to cast multiple times with each other as well as with Cloudstone Curio. Secondly it gives a nice +2/+2 to something before a potential fight trigger as well as the much-coveted trample ability.

• Emerald Medallion, like Rhonas's Monument, gives a cost reduction. While it doesn't pump our creatures, it applies its bonus to all of our green cards, not just creatures. A nice trade.

• Guardian Project is one of our finer card draw enignes. Being an enchantment, it's harder to get rid of than Beast Whisperer. Unlike Beast Whisperer, its draw trigger checks when a nontoken creature enters the battlefield, not on cast. This makes it easier to abuse with Cloudstone Curio and card:Paharmonicon.

• Beast Whisperer, while easier to get rid off than Guardian Project, has its merits. Being a creature makes it findable with Vivien Reid, Growing Rites of Itlimoc  , Worldly Tutor, Green Sun's Zenith, Natural Order and Hibernation's End. Additionally, Beast Whisperer, being a creature, lets it trigger our card draw engines and Cloudstone Curio

• The Great Henge does all the things we could ask for a value card. It draws us cards, ramps us and even gains us some life!

• Door of Destinies is a card I find myself often debating cutting, but never do because of the potential of the card. Especially in this deck, our cheap bears will quickly rack up counters. Counting in Cloudstone Curio, I expect this card to reach high speed and stupidity.

• Doubling Season is a tried and true value card of highest quality. It both doubles the production of bear tokens as well as the counters made with Ayula, Queen Among Bears and even Door of Destinies and Beastmaster Ascension. The dream is to cast Grizzly Fate with Threshold or Kamahl's Summons with many creatures in hand while having this on board. It has an interesting interaction with Hibernation's End in that Doubling Season makes you put two age counters on it rather than one on your upkeep, speeding up both the cumulative upkeep cost as well as the size of the creatures you can find with it.

Combos

• Words of Wilding + Sylvan Library: Let's us make three 2/2 bears on our draw step in exchange of skipping our draw for turn.

• Cloudstone Curio + Ayula, Queen Among Bears/Door of Destinies/any draw engine: By continously playing and bouncing our cheap bears, we can generate a lot of value.

Win Conditions

• Overwhelming Stampede becomes an easy win condition if you have stacked a bunch of counters on a single bear and have a decent amount of other bears.

• Craterhoof Behemoth is one of the most common, not to mention best, win conditions in commander. Dropping this after making a bunch of bear tokens is the easiest way to win. Craterhoof has the added benefit of being tutorable, especially with Natural Order.

Obligatory List of Bear Puns

In this deck, we exercise our right to bear arms, as well as really bad puns:

Let me get my bearings (when you look at the board state)

That's a bear-faced lie

Let's beary the hatchet (when you make an alliance with somoeone)

Time to bearicade my life total (when you make some bears to block with

Grin and bear it (when you hit em)

I'm just gonna bear-el in (when you turn bears sideways)

Refer to Ayula as "Queen B"

This could get grizzly (when you fight anything)

Time to make X disabbear (when you fight something or a bear dies)

Time to give X an Oscar (where X is the creature you're fighting)

Let's paws and reflect

Knock knock. Who's there? Fur. Fur who? Fur whom the bear tolls.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...

What's the capital of Switzerland? Bearn

If you have a response, just say "Paws" and then look around the table a bit, before saying "No, really, I have a response"

Obligatory Bear Force One reference

This may be a polarizing play (when casting Hibernation's End)

Back to the bear necessities (after a board wipe)

You've left my board state in utter pandamonium (after a board wipe)

"What do a bear and a train have in common?" "What?" "Too-too." (make it sound like a train)
