always remember that if your being attacked by a bear just defend yourself with 4 little girls

Word of advice: when checking to see if a bear is dead or just sleeping, do not hit it in the head with a large stick.

This is exactly the same as Grizzly Bears. Quite literally no difference. Kind of amusing. :p

@DysprosiumJudas: Along with Bear Cub, Forest Bear, and Runeclaw Bear. Barbary Apes and Cylian Elf are the same except for creature type. 27 others are green 2/2s for 2 with additional abilities.

Magic really loves it's 2/2s. :P

We're goin' on a bear hunt,
We're going to catch a big one,
What a beautiful day! We're not scared... Uhoh!
Oh look! It's some long, wavy grass!
Can't go over it,
Can't go under it,
Oh no! We've got to go through it!
(Make arm motions like you're going through
long grass and make swishing sounds
.)

We're goin' on a bear hunt,
We're going to catch a big one,
What a beautiful day! We're not scared... Uhoh!
A river.
A deep, cold river.
Can't go over it,
Can't go under it,
Can't go around it,
Oh no! We've got to go through it!
(Pretend to go through the river
making splashing sounds and waving arms as though you are swimming.)

We're goin' on a bear hunt,
We're going to catch a big one,
What a beautiful day! We're not scared... Uhoh!
Mud.
Thick, oozy mud!

Can't go over it,
Can't go under it,
Oh no! We've got to go through it.
(Squelch.. squirch. Whatever that is supposed to represent)

We're goin' on a bear hunt,
We're going to catch a big one,
What a beautiful day! We're not scared... Uhoh!
A forest.
A big, dark forest!
Can't go over it,
Can't go under it,
Oh no! We gotta go through it.
(Pretend you're in a forest)


We're goin' on a bear hunt,
We're going to catch a big one,
What a beautiful day! We're not scared... Uhoh!
A snowstorm!
A swirling, whirling snowstorm.
Can't go over it,
Can't go under it,
Oh no! We gotta go through it.
(Make random moaning sounds. Do the "snow dance.")

We're goin' on a bear hunt,
We're going to catch a big one,
What a beautiful day! We're not scared... Uhoh!
A cave!
A narrow, gloomy cave.
Can't go over it,
Can't go under it,
We gotta go through it.
(Be as sneaky as humanly possible through the cave. Or you might be eaten by the bear.)

WAZZAT?
One shiny wet nose? Two big furry ears? Two big goggley eyes?
ITSA BEAR!!!


Hurry back through the cave!

Back through the snowstorm!

Back through the forest!

Back through the mud!

Back through the river!

Back through the grass!

Get to our front door! Open the door, up the stairs.
Oh no.
We forgot to shut the front door.
(send Jimmy to do it. He's expendable.)
Into the bedroom! Into the bed! Under the covers!

...I'm nawt goin on a bear hunt again...

For those wondering why this card was made when they already had Grizzly Bears... the reason is the same as Fyndhorn Elves. This was the first set designed to be played without the need for cards from any other set. For whatever reason they considered Grizzly Bears an important staple in the base set, but didn't want to simply reprint the same card.

They chose to directly reprint cards like Dark Ritual and Counterspell because they recognized it would be a bad thing to give people 8 Dark Rituals or Counterspells in a deck outside of Ice Age Block.
