Wilson Black Bear by user1935123

Format: Commander

Commander: Wilson, Refined Grizzly and Cultist of the Absolute

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Golgari bear voltron/tribal hybrid built around Wilson, Refined Grizzly and his Background Cultist of the Absolute. Cultist turns Wilson into a 5/5 flying, deathtouch, trampling attacker with double ward, but demands a creature sacrifice every upkeep. The deck feeds that cost with extra Bears and landfall tokens, pumps Wilson with equipment, auras, and Bear lords, and can pivot into a go-wide alpha strike with Beastmaster Ascension and Overrun. Beorn the Fierce, Surrak and Goreclaw, and Dancing from Dark to Dawn form the engine. There is no hidden commander; Wilson is the single-faced commander the deck is built around.
