Bear tokens.

Deck Help forum

Posted on Aug. 30, 2012, 11:09 p.m. by Zombrained

I'm building a bear token deck currently. I've been playing with several different variations on it, but so far, it just doesn't quite work, though I'm confident I can get it too. Things I need help on:How much mana to be using.How many creatures to use, and if (1)G bears are better then (1)G+ bears with abilities for this type of deck.Which enchantments to prioritize.

First, I'd advise to get some 1 mana cards in there. If nothing else, put in some Llanowar Elves or even Arbor Elf just for the mana ramp. I always like having a Fog or 2 in my green decks, but that's just me.

Not sure why you have Kavu Lair in the deck when your bears are 2/2's, it won't do much for you there. You could probably replace that with Bearscape if you want more tokens. Besides, it's BEARSCAPE.

Also, although this deck will give you plenty of tokens, I don't see anything that could be used as a win condition. I see you have Wildsize on your maybeboard, either that or Overrun would work great to cinch the game. You can also scale back to 2 Parallel Evolution s also. Since it has flashback plus all your other token boosters you won't need to worry about needing to draw it that often.

Looks like a fun deck to play, I hope it works out for you.

Your lands seem fine at 22 by the way, it's pure green so you shouldn't have too much problem with ramp. If you use Muraganda Petroglyphs , then of course your tokens will get stronger, in addition to their buffs from Coat of Arms .

Consider replacing Caller of the Claw for another creature though, because your deck's strength lies in token production. You won't get more bears from tokens dying in a turn. You could add in card:Druid's Familiar to replace them. Definitely keep in the Werebear s though, those things are awesome. You have plenty of ability-less creatures through tokens that you could add in more creatures with abilities if you really wanted to, just depends if there's anything you especially want to add in still.
