Ayula (EDH / Commander) [Revision 3]

Richthoughts: (some of these are in your sideboard; if i mention them i am just endorsing them, not saying you didin't think of them)

• Nykthos
  YES
• Would take out the various lords/lord effects and lean more into the +1/+1 counters since those will benefit the Not Bears who are carrying the deck, too
  ARE THERE LORDS BESIDES THE THREE THAT ARE ALSO BEARS?
• Defiler of Vigor
  THIS WAS A LATE CUT, AS YOU CAN SEE I MADE A MILLION CUTS, NOT SURE WHAT I WOULD TAKE OUT FOR IT
• Would add the good ozolith in as a result
  THIS CARD IS GOOD FOR SURE, WOULD LIKE TO FIT IN.
• Need some more card draw in the vein of Soul's Majesty imo. most of the card draw in here is conditional or slow. Tribute to the World Tree is insane and works well with Ayula. Guardian Project >>> Lifecrafter Bestiary.
  YEAH I DONT KNOW WHY I KEPT THAT FOR SO LONG. A LOT OF EDHREC GUYS SEEM HUNG UP ON IT, I AGREE OTHER OPTIONS ARE BETTER
• Staff of Titania
  DEFINITELY WORTH CONSIDERING
• Sylvan Anthem
  HARD TO FIT
• I don't get the two land auras; aren't there any that cantrip? if not, wouldn't dorks be better? this deck has no aura/enchantment incentive
  CHEAP
• Unnatural Growth
  LATE CUT, I ALSO LIKE
• obv board wipes are pretty hard to come by in green, but might consider Ezuri's Predation or The Great Aurora; the latter is mostly a reset, but that's prolly a net positive for this deck.
  TRUE
• Mimic Vat would probably guarantee you a bear per turn for Ayula
  YAH
• perhaps a creeping renaissance or praetor's counsel to get GY back?
  NOT SURE
• Again, I feel like the Forebears' Blade pun is too good to pass up
  TRUE
• Collected Company
  SEEMS MAYBE TO LIKELY TO MISS?
• if you wanna do +1/+1 counters more heavily, champion of lambholdt
  WORTH CONSIDERING
• conjuror's closet will get you a bear trigger per turn (and good w/ ETB stuff like Tribute to the World Tree)
  YEAH TRUE
• Beastmaster Ascension
  HONESTLY THINK THIS IS TOO SLOW
