Commander: Ayula, Queen Among Bears

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Ayula, Queen Among Bears is a low-curve Bear tribal deck that converts every Bear entry into +1/+1 counters or fight removal. The primary plan is to flood the board with 2-3 mana Bears, use cost reducers and draw engines to keep the flow going, then finish with a large combat step (Overwhelming Stampede, Unnatural Growth, or a freshly pumped board). Ayula acts as a repeatable pump/removal engine; the deck still works moderately well if she is removed, thanks to Beorn, Surrak and Goreclaw, and other Bear payoffs. A secondary Aluren + Cloudstone Curio loop offers an infinite Bear-entry trick, but it is fragile and usually needs haste to actually kill. There is no hidden commander; the 99's legends are support pieces.
