Taxidermy Bear Mount by itsjanktime

Format: Commander

Commander: Wilson, Refined Grizzly and Haunted One

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is an aggressive Golgari Bear-tribal deck built around Wilson, Refined Grizzly plus the Haunted One Background. The primary plan is to tap Wilson with a mana outlet such as Springleaf Drum, Holdout Settlement, or Leyline Immersion, triggering Haunted One so every Bear gets +2/+0 and undying, then attack with a cheap recursive swarm. The commander rarely needs to attack; he is the engine. Secondary paths are lord-based beats from Beorn the Fierce and Ayula, Queen Among Bears, a Cultist of the Absolute flying/deathtouch pivot, and finishers like Unnatural Growth and Beastmaster Ascension. Ayula acts as a hidden commander, adding counters and fight removal. The deck wins by curving out Bears, pumping them, and resetting the board through undying and token recursion.
