This must be the reason we didn't get a Birds of Paradise reprint.

People need to stop complaining on every card about power creep. The game's always going to have more and more powerful cards as it grows and as long as the cards aren't at the level of Skullclamp or Jace, the Mind Sculptor and as long as they don't wreck formats, there's nothing to complain about. This is a card that's sideboard material against blue. Sure it's good against blue but in most situations, it's just a bear with flash that can chump block fliers. It doesn't even stretch the P/T curve. It's still just a 2/2 at the end of the day.
Why are people complaining more about Skylasher than Voice of Resurgence which has a massive impact on every game and is clearly not just a 2/2?

I find this card very offensive. *** this card.

That bear is on crack - no less than four freaking abilities for free, now that's something.
And that 'something' is called power creep.
Having flash and reach alone would have put into that category to some extent,
giving it protection from blue pretty much seals the deal already, but going one step beyond
and adding immunity to counters as well isn't even power creep anymore, it's power rumble.
Or i guess power lashing, in this case. Blue will rightfully learn to hate this little bug(ger).

I thought I read this wrong at first glance, then I just realized that Wizards must've just come down with a bad case of the power creep flu...

Usually I'm pleased when WotC releases extremely good green creatures. Green should have the very best creatures in the game I think. Although that has never really been the case.
But this one breaks reasonable boundaries too much. Not as foolish as Phyrexian Obliterator or Wurmcoil Engine but still stupid.

Well, this is certenly green giving blue a middle finger.
Also, for the people crying about this being a "power creep". I have a question for u:
How will this fare against any 3/3 vanilla common/uncommon who isn't blue?
Answer: the same as a bear.

As a fine illustration of how far we've come since the original Ravnica block, if this card had been in Dissension it would have been the best creature ever printed at the time.

This would be cooler if it had thrashing mossdog's art.
