{"ops":[{"insert":"This mono-green commander deck is based around "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Beorn the Fierce"}},{"insert":". He serves several important functions at once.\n1: The turn you play him he puts a trample counter on a creature you have out already, which also becomes a bear in addition to other types.\n2: Once you control three bears total or more (including Beorn) you start drawing 2 cards each combat on your turn, which keeps the threats and ramp going.\n3: He gives all bears +2/+2. This deck takes advantage of all of these things.\nTo take advantage of the outstanding commander, first is to play any ramp type cards you started out with, cards like: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Earth King"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Planar Engineering"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tempt with Discovery"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sol Ring"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Myriad Landscape"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Castle Garenbrig"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Studious First-Year // Rampant Growth"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Biophagus"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Fanatic of Rhonas"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Werebear"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Earth Crystal"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Silverglade Pathfinder"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kami of Whispered Hopes"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ojer Kaslem, Deepest Growth // Temple of Cultivation"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Necklace of Girion"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lumra, Bellow of the Woods"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Great Henge"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Defense of the Heart"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Defiler of Vigor"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vorinclex // The Grand Evolution"}},{"insert":". The best land in the deck by far is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx"}},{"insert":", this deck has insanely high devotion to green. The best ramp card in the deck is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Earth King"}},{"insert":", if you don't have him in hand or in play, always get him first with the tutors "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Defense of the Heart"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Finale of Devastation"}},{"insert":" as soon as possible, it's just so good in this deck because even things that aren't normally 4 power get it after getting a trample counter on it with the +2/+2 from Beorn or from all the +1/+1 counters being thrown around in here, not to mention he brings his own bear friend which gets buffed from Beorn. The ideal scenario is play "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Earth King"}},{"insert":" turn 4 or earlier, then "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Beorn the Fierce"}},{"insert":" the next turn, giving the earth king the trample counter if no other creature is out. This means you get the draw 2 cards and ramp at least 2 lands into play depending on what other creatures or enchantments are out. If you also have "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Dancing from Dark to Dawn"}},{"insert":" in play, then you get an accelerating ramp and bear token interaction that gets more insane each turn. You get all your lands in the deck in play in like 3 or 4 turns.\nThe next goal, play the bangers and threats. Examples of bangers to play as early as possible include: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ouroboroid"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Questing Beast"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Hit-Monkey"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ayula, Queen Among Bears"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Wilson, Refined Grizzly"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Managorger Hydra"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Medusa, Inhuman Queen"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Forgotten Ancient"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Warden of the Grove"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Predator Ooze"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rhonas the Indomitable"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vastlands Scavenger // Bind to Life"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Radagast of Rhosgobel"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nylea, Keen-Eyed"}},{"insert":".\nThe bigger and badder threats to play later after more ramping has occurred include: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vigor"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kalonian Hydra"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Railway Brawler"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Elder Gargaroth"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vorinclex // The Grand Evolution"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lumra, Bellow of the Woods"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Canopy Gargantuan"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Quilled Greatwurm"}},{"insert":".\nAfter you have some major threats and bangers out, play the +1/+1 generators. Some of these can and should be played early, like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kami of Whispered Hopes"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ouroboroid"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bristly Bill, Spine Sower"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Necklace of Girion"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Innkeeper's Talent"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ayula, Queen Among Bears"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Biophagus"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sphere Grid"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tribute to the World Tree"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Warden of the Grove"}},{"insert":". Here are more generators that are usually played later: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Dancing from Dark to Dawn"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Germination Practicum"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Defiler of Vigor"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Canopy Gargantuan"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Railway Brawler"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vigor"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Great Henge"}},{"insert":" . This card "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Agonasaur Rex"}},{"insert":" is a creature but I included it in here as a trick to always cycle it for the +1/+1 counters, indestructible and card draw at instant speed. Also the saga part of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vorinclex // The Grand Evolution"}},{"insert":" is a crazy good counter generator, I recommend activating its saga ability as soon as possible, it's worth it.\nFinal stage is play the +1/+1 counter doublers and enjoy the ride (and math). Counter doublers included are: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Earth Crystal"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ouroboroid"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kalonian Hydra"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bristly Bill, Spine Sower"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Branching Evolution"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Canopy Gargantuan"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Quilled Greatwurm"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Innkeeper's Talent"}},{"insert":" when fully levelled.\nThere are a number of cards included that have self mill abilities which this deck uses for advantage. Things like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vastlands Scavenger // Bind to Life"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vorinclex // The Grand Evolution"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Argoth, Sanctum of Nature"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lumra, Bellow of the Woods"}},{"insert":". Because of the mill and very good card draw which can mean discarding, I included a nice suite of recursion, cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Eternal Witness"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Evolution Witness"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Genesis"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lumra, Bellow of the Woods"}},{"insert":" gets any lands milled, discarded or destroyed back, which counts as ramp. A card that can get itself back from the graveyard is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Quilled Greatwurm"}},{"insert":", as long as you have a lot of counters, it won't stay dead and is a great threat that buffs all your creatures. It works extremely well with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vigor"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Akroma's Memorial"}},{"insert":" (first strike). This card "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Evolution Witness"}},{"insert":" can get a ton of other cards back over the course of a game because of all the counter generators in here. The best way to get "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Genesis"}},{"insert":" into your graveyard to start getting back creatures is with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Greater Good"}},{"insert":", if genesis is in play you can sac it to draw cards, or if it's in hand you can discard it to GG's effect.\nI included many cards that count as card advantage, card draw or abilities that put cards into play for a discount. These include: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Beorn the Fierce"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tribute to the World Tree"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Great Henge"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Terrasymbiosis"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Greater Good"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Elder Gargaroth"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Augur of Autumn"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"War Room"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bonders' Enclave"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nylea, Keen-Eyed"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ojer Kaslem, Deepest Growth // Temple of Cultivation"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vorinclex // The Grand Evolution"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vastlands Scavenger // Bind to Life"}},{"insert":" casting its prepared spell when possible is worth it. Be aware when your creatures are 60+ power from +1/+1 counters you probably shouldn't activate "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Greater Good"}},{"insert":" on them any more, but it's a good problem to have so I can live with it.\nThis card has proven to be ideal for this deck while playing, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tribute to the World Tree"}},{"insert":", it naturally does exactly what I want it to do when I cast a creature, like auto put +1/+1 counters on all of these when they enter: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ouroboroid"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kami of Whispered Hopes"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Evolution Witness"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Predator Ooze"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Managorger Hydra"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Forgotten Ancient"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Warden of the Grove"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Medusa, Inhuman Queen"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bristly Bill, Spine Sower"}},{"insert":" which just makes everything run so much faster. Then when I cast the bigger stuff it draws me a card and allows me to be able to keep the gas pedal down for longer. The deck just plays so much smoother and easier the earlier this card is in play.\nSome cards I included for the utility, besides the +1/+1 generation "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bow of Nylea"}},{"insert":" is used for giving deathtouch to all my attackers, which interacts with trample in an interesting way, because 1 damage is enough to kill a creature you can assign 1 damage to each blocker, then the rest of it tramples over to the player. \nThese cards are included for power as well as good synergy together "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Radagast of Rhosgobel"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Seedborn Muse"}},{"insert":". This card is for the protection (hexproof) "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Saryth, the Viper's Fang"}},{"insert":". It also doubles as an untapper, use for a trick, or ramp with untapping Nykthos or Castle garenbrig. \nThis card "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Defense of the Heart"}},{"insert":" is an absurd tutor for 2 creatures to put directly into play and can get a witness to bring it back to do again next turn. \nI included "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Akroma's Memorial"}},{"insert":" as an all around protection and defensive card for both me and my creatures, for the flying, vigilance and protection from black and red, so other than board wipes I will be much safer.\nThe weakness of this deck is that it doesn't have very much interaction with other decks in it. The only cards that can be classified as answers to opponents threats would be: "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ayula, Queen Among Bears"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Archdruid's Charm"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Silverback Elder"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vivien of the Arkbow"}},{"insert":" and the final chapter of the saga on "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vorinclex // The Grand Evolution"}},{"insert":".\nThat being said I can say this deck is a blast to play as you watch everything grow absurdly giant over the course of a few turns when you get the right cards out. It doesn't take much once things get going. \nThis deck really only has one way to win in it, and that's attacking with enormous creatures, so if that sounds fun to you and works in your play group I can highly recommend it.\n\n"}]}
