Trying to build a deck around one of legendofa's oddball combos. The combo is:

• Words of Wilding makes a 2/2 bear whenever you would draw a card, if you pay 1
• Sylvan Anthem upgrades them to 3/3 bears as they ETB
• This causes each of them to trigger Elemental Bond, causing the cycle to repeat for as long as you can pay 1

In addition to these, the deck runs:

• Ayula, Queen Among Bears, legendofa's suggestion of a nice synergy piece. It's legendary but it triggers itself on ETB so no problem if you end up with multiples.
• Branching Evolution and Forced Adaptation to beef up the bears.
• Llanowar Elves, Druid of the Cowl and Sol Ring because this deck is thirsty for mana but doesn't care about lands.
• Gnarlwood Dryad and Ram Through to keep the opponent's side of the board clear if we're slow to get going.
• Commune with Spirits to help find our pieces.
• Nissa, Who Shakes the World who lets you pay the 1 to Words a lot more times and is just generally great.
• Jaheira, Friend of the Forest because it might be nice to be able to tap our bears to make more bears. I might replace this with another Commune if it doesn't perform, though.
• Basic lands only -- I had a more toolboxy mana base at first but this deck is slow enough as it is.

Like most of my decks this is intended for the Horde format but it might work in 1v1 with a bit of tweaking.
