The Bear Test. A Magic card inspired by a Tom Scott video, for some reason. - Star Trek: Website

I really enjoyed Tom Scott’s latest YouTube video [https://youtu.be/Xn_O2li_jpk] about bears in Yellowstone breaking into food containers and bins, and was somehow possessed by the idea of it as an artifiact removal spell. I think even with the food token this is over costed given it’s just a worse [[Natural State]] but gotta be 1G or what’s even the point.

Good joke, I like it! Very flavorful, but I agree that it’s over-costed. I know you want to keep it at 1G for the bear meme, so why not lean into it and actually make it a bear?

Test Bear 1G

2/2 Bear

When ~ enters the battlefield, destroy target artifact with mana value 2 or less. If you do, create a food token.

I think the joke remains intact, and this could actually fill a draft deck if it had to!

Oh that’s a much better idea! Cheers.
