Deck overview

This is a mono-green Bear tribal beatdown deck helmed by Ayula, Queen Among Bears. The game plan is to land Ayula on turn two and chain cheap Bear creatures for the rest of the game; each Bear ETB triggers Ayula either to grow a threat with two +1/+1 counters or to fight a problem blocker. The deck has no infinite combos - it wins through incremental board scaling, Craterhoof Behemoth overrun, and the unblockable-damage engine of Ruxa, Patient Professor. Token generation from Ayula's Influence and Bearscape plus landfall value from Rampaging Baloths and Lumra, Bellow of the Woods keep the board growing. It is a fair, mid-pace tribal deck whose biggest structural weakness is an almost total lack of protection, stack interaction, and board-wipe recovery.
