About Phantasmal Bear

Phantasmal Bear, Creature — bear illusion, designed by Ryan Yee first released in Jul, 2011 in the set Magic 2012 and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of £ 0.04.

This card could be useful in a deck that focuses on tempo and disruption, as it provides an early-game threat that can potentially trade with an opponent's removal spell, forcing them to spend resources on dealing with it. However, there are better options available in the form of cards like Delver of Secrets or Tarmogoyf, which offer more consistent value and impact on the game. Overall, Phantasmal Bear may not see much play in competitive decks, but it could still find a home in more casual or budget-friendly builds looking for a cheap and evasive threat.

Rules

03/16/18

If Phantasmal Bear becomes the target of a spell or ability, its ability triggers and goes on the stack on top of that spell or ability. The ability will resolve first (causing Phantasmal Bear to be sacrificed). Unless the spell or ability has another target, it will then be countered when it tries to resolve for having no legal targets.
