Bear's Companion

Description

Magic: The Gathering players seeking a reliable creature spell will find the Bear's Companion card (KTK-167) to be a compelling addition to any collection. Released in 2019 as part of The List series, this Uncommon card is categorized under the PLST set code and is illustrated by Winona Nelson. The card features a five-mana cost represented by {2}{G}{U}{R}, requiring a diverse mix of colors including Green, Red, and Blue to cast. As a Creature — Human Warrior, Bear's Companion enters the battlefield with a power and toughness of 2/2. Its primary appeal lies in its triggered ability: when the creature enters, it creates a 4/4 green Bear creature token. This effect provides immediate board presence, offering a significant value swing that can help stabilize a game or apply pressure against opponents. The flavor text adds narrative depth, referencing the Sultai and a hunt that results in a belt of naga skin and a full belly for the companion. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often appreciate cards from The List because they represent unique, one-of-a-kind prints distributed at events and through specific promotional channels. This print is distinct from standard set releases, making it a notable piece for those who track the history of Magic card distribution. The combination of the unique set origin and the functional gameplay design makes Bear's Companion a favorite among enthusiasts of the Commander format and casual playgroups. Whether building a deck around token strategies or simply collecting unique card art and mechanics, this card offers both mechanical utility and historical interest within the Magic: The Gathering universe.
