Trample Other Bears you control get +2/+2. At the beginning of combat on your turn, put a trample counter on up to one target creature you control. It becomes a Bear in addition to its other types. Then if you control three or more Bears, draw two cards.
Predicted power
Standard 49 Eng.C-Usr.

A 6/6 trampler that can immediately make another attacker a 2/2-larger trampling Bear is credible in creature-heavy green decks, but drawing needs an unsupported second Bear.

Best home Mono-Green LandfallBand fringeConfidence 55%

Could be wrong if Additional Bear support could make the two-card combat trigger reliable and turn it into a regular payoff rather than a fringe curve-topper.

Pioneer 31 Eng.D-Usr.

The floor is a five-mana 6/6 plus a conditional combat buff; that can be tested, but it is less efficient than Pioneer threats without a proven Bear shell.

Band fringeConfidence 67%

Could be wrong if A viable Bear/changeling shell or reliable acceleration would substantially improve its rate and card-draw consistency.

Modern 24 Eng.FUsr.

Five mana and a board requirement are major liabilities in Modern. The card offers no immediate cards without another Bear and is vulnerable before repeated combat triggers.

Band speculativeConfidence 75%

Could be wrong if Dense Modern-legal Bear or changeling synergies could create a low-cost shell that makes its draw trigger dependable.

Legacy 20 Eng.FUsr.

Even if fast mana can deploy it early, it needs a board and another Bear to draw cards, while efficient removal and Karakas punish a five-mana legend.

Band speculativeConfidence 74%

Could be wrong if An Ancient Tomb-based tribal shell with enough resilient Bears could make its immediate combat trigger more relevant than expected.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 54 Eng.CUsr.

In Bear or changeling tribal, it is a sizable lord that can turn another creature into a Bear and draw two each combat; five mana and board reliance limit breadth.

Best home Bear tribalBand role-playerConfidence 70%

Could be wrong if Its adoption rises if Bear/changeling decks can consistently establish two Bears before combat and protect a five-mana creature.

Limited 77 Eng.A-Usr.

A five-mana 6/6 trample is already a strong finisher, and turning another creature into a larger trampling Bear creates a powerful board swing. Extra draws need Bear support.

Best home Green creature decksBand first-pickConfidence 45%

Could be wrong if The unknown Bear density, removal, and format speed determine whether its conditional draw engine is common or mostly irrelevant.

Bear-tribal combat engine

“A powerful but setup-dependent five-drop whose card-draw ceiling needs existing Bears, while its baseline is a large trampling board payoff.”

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
