    2:20 "Unlike other tribes that have tons of lords that pump up the whole team, Bears are a bit more scant in their department"
    I guess you could say...their cupboards were bear.

    The bear puns in this were claw-ful, I approve. Thanks for the tips!

    Can we get a Boroborygmos Enraged episode? I remember an EDHRECcast ep where y’all talked about just how much lands you would run(50+ if I’m not mistaken), I’d love to see what makes the cut when you have that much land.

    Man, you about put me into kodiak arrest with this one.

    Great episode, I always remember Bear Force One when I see Ayula.
    Please do a Drizzt Do'Urden episode!

    I can verify, Vigor is absolutely worth it in the deck. It's won me multiple games with my Ayula deck.

    AYULA! I love my Ayula deck.
    I actually got my snow basics cheap off eBay but I know not everyone has that ability.
    I don't have enough vanilla bears in the deck to run Ruxa so he's not in this deck. I have more changeling and bears with abilities.
    This deck is super fun and budget, and I have lost to my own deck (lent it to my husband for a game and he won with it). Worth it.

    YES, THANK YOU!!! I'm trying to tweak my Bear deck for a while...my friends are playing Elfs and I can't keep up with the token generation

    • @felipeguidolin1055

      I could play Ezuri's Predation and call it "Ayula Queen among Beasts"...

  • @BornFromEmbers
    @BornFromEmbers 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    My friend has a bear deck that could use some tweaking. I’m sending this to him ASAP!🤣 (also if you are running snow basics maybe add in a blizzard brawl to kill something and let you crash in without losing your guy)

    I've had an Ayula deck I've been tinkering with over the past couple years, dropping cards in every few sets. Really looking forward to see your guys upping the average take on her. She's underrated imo. Love the work y'all

  • @joshuagidcumb6805
    @joshuagidcumb6805 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Literally just built this deck to fight along pre-cons and these swaps seem perfect!

  • @endersblade
    @endersblade 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another card to consider for this deck is the super secret tech in my Ayula: Primal Forcemage. It's like Rhonas's Monument, but gives the entering creature +3/+3 instead. So basically you have a 2/2 bear enter, Forcemage makes it a 5/5, and then you can use Ayula to make that 5/5 fight something.

  • @frisbee7572
    @frisbee7572 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes! Rule zero: basics = snow basics. Thank you! We track such rule zero “errata” on a post-it note and keep it on the battlefield as an easy reminder. We also like gates = shocks (unless you have both already).

    I like adding Kamahl to the deck for his stampede ability to break locked boards.

  • @afspeellijstnaruto
    @afspeellijstnaruto 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I played + upgraded my ayula deck a couple of times. But it leans SOOOO heavily on Ayula that i gave up on it. Too much of an effort to make 2/2 vanilla creatures bigger...and they don't even have trample XD (actually sold it to someone in my playgroup a week ago). Kind of the same reasoning for my Arcades defender deck. Both are very flavorfull, but after like 10+ games with both of those decks I just find the decks to be too vulnerable.
    I went back to mono green stompy with the new Kamahl and i often switch it for Ghalta or even better, Goreclaw (best bear ever). It's less reliant because you can just put green good stuff in it with build-in trample (which is what defenders + bears miss for that extra stomping power).
    BUT. I have had a great time with both of the decks :) Just time for me to move I guess ^^

  • @jaysillynx3190
    @jaysillynx3190 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I had some cool moments with Words of Wilding where I had Elemental Bond + an Anthem on the board and could essentially generate a chain where I create bear tokens equal to the amount of mana I had available each turn.
    The whole set up ended up being too inconsistent though, and the card kinda sucks on its own as you mentioned.

  • @holdyourfire74
    @holdyourfire74 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great timing! I've been wanting to tweak my Ayula deck for a while. It really just started out as purely on-theme, but I've been wanting to power it up. Also how bad did it hurt you to to recommend Scavenger Grounds?

  • @gitaxias

    I could make a bear instead of drawing a card, but why would I do that when that card could be anything? It could even be another bear!

  • @bladetb3934
    @bladetb3934 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really hope you guys make a video about Hogaak one day. Hogaak is amazing but just popular enough to not get included on a list about unpopular commanders, but not popular enough to get anyone to make a video on him like muldrotha. The hate hogaak gets is residual hate from modern, and unfair, he should be feared, not hated.

    Does cauldron of souls go infinite with a sac outlet and Ayula? Or does the persist end when the creature changes zones?

    • @EDHRECast
      @EDHRECast  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Good question! The Persist will end when the creature changes zones. When it returns to the field it's considered a new object :)

    More like bearer of semi-bad puns. I don't hate them, but they could be better. Also love this deck, I feel like after Graham debuted this deck on command zone, everyone decided to make an ayula deck. I'm going to, eventually.....

    The way you were talking about replacing Rampant Growth with a ramp spell that fits Ayula's play pattern, I thought for sure you were going to put in Search for Tomorrow. Suspend it on turn 1, play Ayula on turn 2, and you start turn 3 with 4 mana for two more bears! What more can you want?

    Caller of the claw also lets you play a bear, have it fight, die and then get tokens. Words of wilding is also a great combo with greater good and sylvan library.

      @dragonman979 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@heatherkamp114 the magical Christmas land combo in my IRL deck is Greater good + Aluren + cloudstone curio + caller of the claw (also needs at least 1 non token bear to die) but this lets you draw most of your deck (in even increments unless u have an odd power bear) and infinite bear ETB and bear tokens (you can do the last two without greater good but usually won't win without drawing most of the deck)

    I do think so. words of wilding is just too good with sylvan library.
    That's 3 mana to get 3 bears every turn. You don't have to waste your rishkars expertise for those bears. Sometimes a drawstep is good enough.
