Commander: Ayula, Queen Among Bears

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Ayula, Queen Among Bears is a mono-green Bear tribal deck that wins by converting every Bear cast into +2/+2 counters or a fight. The primary plan is to land Ayula on turn two, deploy Bears and changelings, and use her triggers to grow one or two huge tramplers while removing blockers. Secondary paths are token generation from Bearscape, Ayula's Influence, Grizzly Fate, Titania's Command, and Dancing from Dark to Dawn, plus tutor lines into Gigantic Big Bear or Lumra. Beorn, Goreclaw, and Surrak and Goreclaw provide anthem effects; Roaming Throne doubles Ayula triggers. There is no true hidden commander, though Wilson, Refined Grizzly is a resilient legendary Bear. The deck finishes with Overwhelming Stampede or a critical mass of trampling Bears.
