A staple in any kavu deck. Cheap enough first strike, and the kicker gives you more options later in the game.

Sadly, this is overshadowed by the Kavu Titan, even though this should be considered almost as good because of its first strike ability.

I don't know, 5 mana for a 3/3 haste with first strike? That's barely better than Ambush Party, and playing it without the kicker is almost always a waste of a card. I guess it works for Kavu tribal but there are much better Kavus out there.

I like this design better than Kavu Titan.
Of course, Kavu Titan is better than Pouncing Kavu in every way.
Kicker, however, shouldn't be a make a card efficient spell before and after it was kicked.
It is like making a lightning bolt with kicker 2 with "if this card was kicked, lightning bolt deals 4 damage"

The art looks like it is seen through a viewfinder. I'm not sure if I like it.

Think Kavu tribal with proliferate. Nothing insanely good, but nothing terrible.

For that to be true, Grizzly Bears would have card quality to rival that of Lightning bolt. It does not. Shocking, I know.
Your card would be more along the lines of Burst Lightning, actually.

Man, a 3/3 with haste and first strike can still cause a mess.

Actually pretty decent. Better with the kicker- I could see this being a high pick in Invason limited.
