We received a request from @paranormal-actiddies to build a $80-$100 hate bears deck, which is just what we did! The full list ended up coming to $97.14 on TCG Player, but you could cut that lower with a more budget manabase.
Kambal is a fun commander, hes aggressively costed at 3 CMC and chips away at opponents quicker than you might think. Sol Ring? 2 damage. Ponder? 2 damage. Kodama’s Reach? 2 damage. Most commander decks only have 25-35 creatures, leaving 26-36~ spells.
Remember, if you’ve got a request for a deck send us an ask!
The term ‘Hate Bears’ refers to 2~ drop creatures that are disruptive toward the opponents gameplan. Thalia and Leonin Arbiter are perhaps the two most iconic hatebears in magic. With a few small exceptions, every creature in this deck is in some way going to mess up opponents plans. Causing things to come into play tapped, stopping ETBs, increasing the casting cost of spells, etc. The main goal of this deck is to play as many of these as possible before casting Armageddon or comboing out.
Speaking of comboing out, lets talk win conditions. I mentioned Armageddon already. When spells cost +1, +2, +3 its very difficult to recover from an Armageddon. If you’re ahead on board you can just repeatedly swing into advantageous combat. Pair that with a few pillow fort elements like Ghostly Prison and Norn’s Annex and suddenly opponents cant really do much.
Kambal steals a lot of life, pairing that with effects like Cliffhaven Vampire and Painful Quandry opponents quickly end up low on life. Sanguine Bond is extra rude with Kambal as it makes each spell cost 4 life, and deal 2 to each other player. But pair that with Exquisite Blood, and you just win.
Alright guys, I need good wincons for my Hate Bears Linvala
Right now the win cons are acting too slow and it extends the game too long. The deck works in single player but struggles in multiplayer. Any tips for mono white control win cons? I really have no ideas for this.
NEVER get me bears or any ornament that is useless.
But I would totally dig for those USB gun thing.
Spent my evening straightening up my room and House. MY room is still messy and I have zero place for teddy bears and decorative ornaments. Except the wall, which will be filled with my random drawings. I have this me-to-you bear a now-acquaintance gave me. Haven't talked/chat/sms for a lot of years. I think it is legitimate enough to be thrown away. Don't you think so?
