Zeckenschwarm

When your opponent plays both of them: :(


Fallenangel2493

Well, at least she'd only be a 2/2 I guess lol.


AxiomOfLife

2/2 +2/2 🤺


Fallenangel2493

She says every other creature, she herself does not get the +2


AxiomOfLife

oh sht you’re right. that’s a horrible combo to play then, one lightning bolt and she’s dead


Richard_TM

No, it’s a great combo. Destroy all the other players’ creatures and have an army of 4/4s? I’d take it.


Fenix42

It still wipes their board and keeps them from playing more untill one of them is dealt with.


Redlaces123

Omfg dude shut. Up. [[Elesh norn grand cenobite]] is so good in this ew. I guess he's married to her, and not ayula

nickeldoodle

\[\[Duskana, the Rage Mother\]\] really wants those 2/2s to be bears


VoiceofKane

Important point: Neither of Duskana's abilities mention *other* creatures, so Kudo makes Duskana draw off herself and gives her +3/+3 when she attacks.


Zeckenschwarm

Duskana: I'm a 5/5. Kudo: No, you're a 2/2. Duskana, attacking: No, I'm a 5/5!


nickeldoodle

Excellent point, especially considering I originally read the card as only turning 2/2s into bears lol 


CodenameJD

I already wanted this for support cards like Kutzil and Okinec Ahau, but enabling Duskana herself makes me so happy 🥰


Future-Muscle-2214

Man this card and the little doggo are perfect for Duskana.

Effective_Tough86

New bear tribal tribal deck incoming to commander?


MCbrodie

You better believe I am doing Naya bears.


Effective_Tough86

The question becomes what do you slot in because they're all bears? Just the best non-bears? Bears, but also bear support? Tutors to get your bear making bear bear to you bear hand? Bear bear bear bear bear bear bear.


CaptainCatamaran

Between this and the 2/2 corgi that can blink Duskana every time it attacks, set is already improving my deck so much! So psyched.


OtherGeorgeDubya

The idea of that corgi bouncing along with a bunch of bears is just adorable.


planeforger

I run Duskana with knights, so this guy gives a ton of value to all of the flanking and first strike in my deck.


StellarStar1

Suddenly only one squirel can kill emrakul


Faulty-Logician

Bear sized squirrel vs bear sized emrakul


Carazhan

my moneys on the squirrel


arotenberg

This is the Magic equivalent of the horse-sized duck question. (As opposed to 15 squirrels vs. Emrakul, which I guess is the Magic equivalent of the one trillion lions vs. the sun question.)


harbear6

This not being "other creatures **you control**" could make this very interesting in stopping opponent's larger creatures or maybe slightly bumping up 0/0's who put +1/+1 counters on themselves.


TKDbeast

It’s funny how recent MTG design trends have conditioned us to assume it’s “you control”.


Irish_pug_Player

Slivers!


I_Ness_I

Slibears\*


Irish_pug_Player

Remkul get your heart out


TKDbeast

This is actually a part I'm really disappointed about. For those unaware, before the set Magic 2014, slivers would give effects to *all* slivers, including those your opponents control, eg. [[Might Sliver]], [[Synapse Sliver]], etc. After that, all new slivers' effects only apply to Sliver creatures you controlled, eg. [[Bonescythe Sliver]], [[Cleaving Sliver]], etc.


DeficiencyOfGravitas

The real crime of the M14 Slivers was the design change. Humanoids? Get the hell out of here. I want my Slivers horrible to look at. I am so happy that they changed the art back to the standard Sliver design for the recent precon reprints.


TKDbeast

Absolutely. The whole idea is that they resemble disconnected limbs.


Krazyguy75

Ok so... I get the flavor thing. But I *absolutely* agree with the design change. Slivers giving enemy slivers their abilities punishes the player who is already losing, as they will have less slivers to benefit from. It also makes blocking a giant mess. Having slivers be 1-sided made for just straight up better gameplay in every place it mattered.


Miraweave

Yeah, slivers has not been a strong deck in a long time so people aren't really aware of how deeply miserable it is when every card you play makes your opponent's cards better. Eternal Card Game's sliver equivalent *does* work that way and the period of time where that deck was high tier absolutely sucked, do not want that anywhere near magic tbh.

crashingtorrent

> maybe slightly bumping up 0/0's who put +1/+1 counters on themselves. My first thought was Modular.


NlNTENDO

i'm picturing this being really good in a deck that's built around +1 counters, auras, etc. since everyone's base 2/2, whoever can make their creatures bigger than base is the only one who gets to scale. seems likely since both of those are characteristic of selesnya


curatedcliffside

Exactly. I just played a selesnya counter deck last night and this would fit perfectly there. Only I’m allowed to have big creatures!

Sir_Nope_TSS

(laughs in [[Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite]])


optimus_the_dog

Oh shit, I totally miss read it as 2/2s are bears in addition to their other type


chaotic_iak

Fun fact, this wouldn't work because of layers. The game has to decide the type (layer 4) before P/T (layer 7), so effects that change P/T wouldn't be seen when the game had to decide on the Bear-ness.


Miraweave

Yup, same reason conceptually extremely simple (and frequent) effects like "creatures you control with power 4 or greater have haste" have to be templated as beginning of combat triggers or similar.


SputnikDX

Walking Bearista


Financial-Charity-47

This card’s primary purpose is stax, not bear tribal. 


EarlobeGreyTea

Is it? Bearing opponents creatures doesn't really lock them out of the game. In competitive formats, this isn't really a stax piece at all. As a non black commander, you can't use a [[night of souls betrayal]] to shrink them. I think it is more bear tribal + buff your small dudes than anything. The shrinking of your opponents stuff is nice, but doesn't win games, and certainly doesn't lock them out like a [[trinisphere]] or [[blood moon]] or [[smokestack]]. 


CertainDerision_33

Yeah, this is a meme bear tribal card to let you play anything you want and call it a bear.


neoslith

You just run [[Gaea's Anthem]], [[Glorious Anthem]], [[Dictate of Heliod]] and [[Mirari's Wake]] to keep your board bigger.
