Bear Necessities by Ardeidae

Format: Commander

Commander: Beorn the Fierce

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Beorn the Fierce leads a mono-green Bear-tribal beatdown that leans on ramp, anthem effects, and power-matters payoffs to bury opponents under trampling bears. The deck's primary game plan is to flood the board with cheap bear creatures, use Beorn's attack-trigger card draw to refuel, then deliver a knockout punch via Hydra Omnivore, Ghalta, Primal Hunger, or a doubled-power army from Unnatural Growth or Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus. Secondary avenues include Beastmaster Ascension and token generation from Dancing from Dark to Dawn. The commander is the engine - its anthem makes every bear a threat, and its conditional draw keeps the gas flowing - but the deck can still function without it thanks to a dense tribe and redundant beaters.
