Beorn the Fierce - Intelligence

Beorn asks for ramp, cheap Bears, changelings, and enough board protection to keep three Bears in play. The first market check is version separation: HOB #119, showcase #230, and surge-foil #266 should not share one price or supply history.

Making a creature a Bear does not make it enter. Ayula does not trigger from Beorn conversion.

Preventing the trample counter does not prevent Bear conversion. Removing the counter does not remove the Bear type. Multiple trample counters do not multiply trample.

The Bear effect survives cleanup and Beorn leaving. A zone change creates a new object and removes that old conversion.

Changelings count as Bears once. Nexus makes every creature you control a Bear; an independent Beorn conversion survives Nexus removal.

Throne becomes a Bear, receives the anthem, and makes Beorn trigger an additional time. Each trigger chooses its target separately.

Strionic Resonator and Lithoform Engine permit new targets for a copied trigger. Each resolution counts the Bears present then.

The trigger happens below three Bears and checks after conversion. At least three Bears draws exactly two, even with a larger Bear board.

A trigger on the stack survives Beorn leaving. His anthem ends, and he no longer counts toward the resolving three-Bear check.

Beorn is a Bear and counts toward the three-Bear draw check, but his anthem says other Bears, so it does not give Beorn +2/+2.

Beorn plus one other Bear can target a non-Bear you control, make that creature the third Bear, then draw two cards when the ability resolves.

The ability says up to one target creature, so choosing no target is legal. If no target is chosen, the ability can still check whether you control three or more Bears.

If a chosen target becomes illegal before the trigger resolves, the whole ability fails, including the draw check.

The trample counter remains, and the target stays a Bear in addition to its other types because no duration is given.

Each beginning of combat on your turn can trigger Beorn. Extra-combat effects can add more trample counters, type changes, and draw checks.

Deploy efficient Bears before Beorn so his first combat can draw two.

Add Bear to useful green creatures and keep their existing abilities.

Make every creature a Bear; independent Beorn conversions survive Nexus leaving.

Additional and copied triggers resolve separately and can each draw two.

Use land drops to build and rebuild the Bear board.

Turn large creatures into trampling anthem recipients.

Use counter payoffs alongside Beorn's separate trample counters.

Use actual Bear density first, then Beorn's anthem and trample counters to make combat profitable.

Use Beorn's trigger, Maskwood Nexus, and changelings to reach three Bears before the draw check.

Pair +1/+1 counters with trample and Bear bodies so the deck can keep attacking through blockers.

Use ramp, draw, recursion, and large green threats to recover when Bear density is disrupted.

Local and Scryfall records agree on identity, green color identity, mana value five and the Bear Shapeshifter Warrior type line.

The conversion has no end-of-turn duration and survives Beorn leaving.

Zero targets permits the draw check; an illegal selected target stops resolution. Conversion is not entry. Copies resolve independently.

EDHREC displayed 4,887 decks with Ayula, Goreclaw, Dancing from Dark to Dawn and Roaming Throne among support. Inclusion is not proof of price or supply movement.

The exact-card API search returned an empty results list on September 9, 2026. This dated observation does not prove no combo can exist.

Record 643-3197-4304 is a mono-green compatible loop. Beorn is absent from its required pieces.

Record 2850-3197 is a mono-green loop independent of Beorn.

Nonfoil and traditional-foil Dragon Hoard cards appear in Play and Collector Boosters; surge foil comes from Collector Boosters. No dedicated Beorn precon is verified.

Local HOB prints still say not legal in Commander, while current Scryfall and official release information say legal. Check current Oracle information before relying on a stale flag.

The audited Beorn prints lack local CardTrader blueprint mappings. Inventory and seller depth remain unavailable until exact mappings are verified; missing values are not zero.
