Bracket: 2

DeckCheck Threat Index: 29

Deck overview

This deck leverages Kudo, King Among Bears to normalize the entire battlefield into 2/2 Bears while breaking parity through layers of +1/+1 counters, Earthbend land animation, and asymmetric static effects. By setting all other creatures to base 2/2, Kudo shrinks opposing threats while the deck's +1/+1 counter engines, such as Champion of Lambholt and Bumi, Eclectic Earthbender, scale friendly creatures well above parity. The deck also includes potent synergies like Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, which unilaterally wipes opposing 2/2 creatures, and Living Plane to turn all lands into vulnerable creatures. The deck steadily ramps into commanding board states, overwhelming opponents with high-power trampling attackers and resilient animated lands.
