the classic example and also synonymously used for a simple 2/2 creature. :D
being released in every core set until today, could this card possibly be called a little part of magic history?

Sorry, BalonyPony, that combo requires 11 cards in two turns without draw effects. How about: 2 Black Lotus, 3 Lightning Bolt, Yawgmoth's Will, return both Lotuses, play all 3 Bolts again, sac the other Lotus and play Grizzly Bears. 2nd turn kill!

For what it's worth, I still play Grizzly Bears over Runeclaw Bear in extended.

The bear minimum of playability, even though bearly anyone played with grizzly bears in their decks, it's almost unbearable to see them replaced.

I think they were banished so Stephen Colbert doesn't put wizards on notice.

The oracle text should be rewritten with "Protection from Runeclaw Bear."
Just to make me happy.

Totally sidelined by nearly 2 dozen "better" creatures for the same mana cost but a true classic.

"Dominarian Bears are known to punch trees in half, making them far superior to Runeclaw Bears in every possible way."

Always a 5/5 for the nostalgia.

I like my women like I like my grizzly bears. Low cost, classy, mature, and capable of punching tree's in half.

runeclaw bear is just too young, flashy(look at those tattoos), and not punching trees in two.

Nostalgia is a stupid reason to give a medicore card 5/5..

It deserves a solid 2.5 so that's what I will rate it.

But seriously, who cares. If you really love this card so much more than Runeclaw Bear then just throw it in your Standard deck, there is literally no difference and just slap anyone who tries to call you on it because they are officially as retarded as you are.

>mfw Runeclaw Bear is better. Magic bear = sensible in mtg context. Random grizzly bear punching a tree down = ridiculous.

The cult around this card is ridiculous. It's just a boring vanilla creature that no one would play outside of limited.

Old School MTGer Justice 4Green

Old School MTGer Justice can't be countered.

Creatures you control named "Grizzly Bears" get +10/+10, haste, infect, and protection from everything if any opponent controls a creature named "Runeclaw Bear."

"Don't try to outrun one of Dominia's Grizzlies; it'll catch you, knock you down, and eat you. Of course, you could run up a tree. In that case you'll get a nice view before it knocks the tree down and eats you."

The Old flavour text was brilliant.

Looks like someone climbed into a tree since the bear is now knocking down a tree.

I want to build my ass a bear deck.

*** bears, man.

I'll call it Bearpocalypse. Would have named it Bearmageddon, but there's a webcomic with the same name.

But still.

The bearpocalypse is coming.

"We cannot forget that among all of Dominaria's bears, a system of bears exists, with bears and bears that will never fight bears bears bears bears bears bears."

The power of this card lies on its simplicity.

It's my standard creature for comparisons, to be good one must defeat it, if it can't, it's a bad creature.

So, 2/5.

He's upset that Runeclaw Bear exists, hence the tree smashing.
