Bosco, Just a Bear

Description

The 2025 release of Magic: The Gathering's Avatar: The Last Airbender Eternal set brings the beloved animated series into the TCG with a charming yet mechanically potent addition: Bosco, Just a Bear. Card number 132 in the set, this Uncommon Legendary Creature — Bear features art by Airi Yoshihisa and serves as a versatile green mana source for collectors and players alike. Bosco enters the battlefield with a mana cost of four generic mana and one green mana, resulting in a mana value of five. As a Legendary Bear with 4/4 power and toughness, he provides a sturdy presence on the board. His primary value lies in his enter-the-battlefield trigger: for each legendary creature you control, Bosco creates a Food token. These artifact tokens can be sacrificed for three life, offering significant board stabilization and life gain potential. Furthermore, Bosco offers a flexible activated ability. By sacrificing a Food token and paying two generic mana and one green mana, players can place two +1/+1 counters on him. This ability also grants him trample until the end of the turn, allowing him to break through defensive lines. This dual function of resource generation and combat enhancement makes Bosco, Just a Bear a compelling piece for any green-based Magic: The Gathering collection. The card's clean design and straightforward mechanics reflect the accessibility and charm of the Avatar universe, making it a standout entry in the TLE expansion. Collectors of the Avatar: The Last Airbender Eternal series will appreciate the thematic integration of Bosco into the Magic: The Gathering framework. His ability to leverage existing legendary creatures creates interesting synergies, while his own resilience ensures he remains a threat throughout the game. Whether you are completing your TLE set or simply adding a unique character card to your collection, this card offers both nostalgic appeal and strategic depth.
