Commander: Kudo, King Among Bears

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a GW Bear-tribal combat deck built around Kudo, King Among Bears as a cheap, recastable type-changing commander. Kudo makes every other creature a 2/2 Bear, which supercharges Bear payoffs like Ayula, Queen Among Bears, Beorn the Fierce, Patchwork Banner, and Metallic Mimic while also turning incidental mana dorks into attackers. The primary plan is to assemble a wide, lorded-up Bear board, grant it evasion through Ruxa, Patient Professor and Jasmine Boreal of the Seven, then finish with Overrun, Beastmaster Ascension, or a flood of tokens from Grizzly Fate and Fade from History. There are no infinite combos; the deck wins through redundant tribal synergies and combat inevitability. It is a midrange "vanilla matters" deck with a small but real interaction suite.
