The next Magic: The Gathering set will introduce the card game's first ever legendary bear.

Magic head designer Mark Rosewater, a.k.a. MaRo has a special preview for the upcoming Core Set 2019, and it's something we've never seen before: A legendary bear! But before he revealed the unusual creature, apparently, he took the chance to play Hangbear on social media. Apparently, people have been requesting for a legendary bear:

Now, that legendary bear exists. Meet Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma!

For a four-mana cost green creature, it's an easy target but if left unanswered, you'll be able to cast bigger creatures for lower mana costs. Plus, it's legendary status can enable Mox Amber as well as other cards that trigger with Historic spells. It will probably be a cheap rare but I'm sure a lot of fans are happy that a legendary bear finally exists in the world of Magic.

Core Set 2019 will be released on July 13, 2018. Prerelease events will take place from July 7 to 8.
