Ferocious Bear – Base Art – Common Israel Beast – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG

The Shepherd’s Defender

Ferocious Bear is a Common Beast from the Israel Age, costing 3 faith with 2 strength and 4 hope. Equipped with Protect, this being must be challenged first before any of your other Beings can be interacted with. This card fits well into Beast archetypes, midrange builds, and defensive strategies that require frontline protection to set up stronger plays.

This card's verse is 1 Samuel 17:34:

"And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:"

Strategic Use In Gameplay

Ferocious Bear is a valuable mid-game defensive unit that excels in holding the line while other Beings do their work. Its Protect ability forces your opponent to deal with it first, which can stall aggressive advances or save a key support unit from being removed. At 4 hope, it's difficult to take down in a single hit, making it ideal for decks that rely on strategic positioning and sustained pressure.

Synergies and Plays:

Protect Other Beings and Yourself: A strong frontliner that absorbs damage and keeps your more fragile or essential Beings safe from harm.
High Hope: With 4 hope, Ferocious Bear can survive most early to mid-game challenges, trading favorably while absorbing valuable resources from your opponent.
Beast Synergy: Fits naturally into Beast tribal decks where synergy effects and buffs can increase its threat level and value.
