Bears and other stuff by Conan

Format: Commander

Commander: Beorn the Fierce

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Beorn the Fierce is the deck's anthem and draw engine: the deck wants a fast ramp dork into Beorn, then cheap Bears, changelings, and Bear tokens to cross the three-Bear threshold so every combat draws two cards. Secondary plans use Ayula for removal and counters, Kona and Bind to Life to cheat out huge finishers, and trample or infect pumps to close. There is no separate hidden commander; Ayula and Goreclaw act as lieutenant bears. The primary finishers are Overwhelming Stampede, Become the Avalanche, and Triumph of the Hordes, converting a medium Bear board into one-shot or multi-turn lethal.
