Deck overview

Ayula, Queen Among Bears is a mono-green Bear tribal deck that turns a modest creature type into a snowballing board. There is no hidden commander and no infinite combo; the single-faced Ayula is the central engine. Every other Bear that enters either grows a Bear with +1/+1 counters or fights a blocker, so the deck floods the field with natural Bears, changelings, and Bear tokens. It then closes with anthem effects (Beorn, Banner of Kinship, Eldrazi Monument, Spider-Ham) and trample. Secondary paths include pumping Ayula to 21+ commander damage and using Springleaf Parade to turn creature tokens into mana. Wins are combat-focused, relying on a critical mass of counters and evasion rather than a single spell.
