Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This Selesnya deck is helmed by Kudo, King Among Bears, whose symmetrical ability sets all other creatures' base power and toughness to 2/2 and makes them Bears. The deck breaks parity by stacking +1/+1 counters on its own creatures, turning them into oversized threats while opponents' creatures remain 2/2. The primary win condition is combat damage through a wide board of pumped creatures, supported by counter doublers like The Earth Crystal and Doc Samson, Super Psychiatrist, and finishers such as Beastmaster Ascension and Sovereign Okinec Ahau. The deck has no infinite combos and relies on incremental value, resilient creatures, and instant-speed protection to outlast opponents.
