Deck overview

This mono-green stompy deck is piloted by Beorn the Fierce, combining Bear tribal synergies, +1/+1 counters, and trample beatdown. The deck develops early mana and utility creatures on Turns 1 through 3 before casting Beorn on Turn 4. Beorn's combat trigger transforms utility creatures into Bears, provides trample counters, and unlocks a repeatable two-card draw engine once three Bears are controlled. In the mid-to-late game, the deck scales its board presence using powerful force multipliers like Unnatural Growth, Chronicle of Victory, and Triumph of the Hordes, or high-power beaters such as Ghalta the Unstoppable and Gigantic Big Bear. While the strategy generates steady card advantage and heavy combat pressure, its reliance on sorcery-speed creature deployment and absence of mass protection spells leave it vulnerable to well-timed sweepers.
