The power function of bears is non-linear due to infighting
That's not even limited to bears, the power scaling for MtG cards in general is logarithmic. The most famous example being the fact that Emrakul, the plane-eating eldrich god and most powerful card ever printed, can be defeated by 15 1/1 squirrels.
Hey, if you can get 15 squirrels to work together, killing god is the least you have to worry about them doing.
Grizzly Bears is a 2/2 that depicts 2 bears. Implying each bear is 1/1 on its own.
Ah, the og bear was before my time.
Summoning an 8/8 creature for a 2 cost is really good too
Really good is bit of an understatement i would say.
That 8/8 better be conditional.
Like "you have to take a hit from a real bear" conditional. Otherwise it's a 3/3 with defender.
Fine I'll take four in my Bear tribal deck
I think this card could work with something like "Whenever Eight Fucking Bears is dealt damage, place that many -1/-1 counters on it." Maybe make it cost 2F instead of 1F.
I don't mean to tell u how to live your life, but standard representation for green mana is "G"
Ah crap, you're right. It's been a while since I notated Magic cards my brain went to Forest instead of Green.
Are those the bible bears?
II Kings 2:23-24
Bearnice was more then mildly displeased to discover she was the only female bear to be in attendance at the orgy.

The title would have been clearer like "Eight bears fucking" ... otherwise why use bears of the fucking variety in the first place ...
