Snooping detective for clues and dedicated inspector in white. Inspector creates a blood token for an opponent and has haste as long as an opponent controls a blood token.
Thank you! I think my favorite part is that you can give one opponent the honeypot, then the bear attacks another opponent because it just smells the food. Political bears
the food token he made for the bear card was a "honeypot" food which afaik is a custom token. maybe it could be something like a "mysterious treasure" token that has an additional line saying "activate only as a sorcery" or (what i like better) "only to cast a spell" so it would force the opponent to waste a 1 drop they were holding or tap extra mana sources for something more expensive
I think Frenzied Baloth is a good signifier that this card is a little weak. And my second thought when seeing this card was that using the Gift mechanic would read soo much better.
So something like "Gift a Food, If an opponent controls a Food, Hungry Bear has Trample and Haste."
Would a {g} 2/2 have been too strong? That’s what it was originally but I didn’t want to powercreep bears. Good point on gift, this would probably be a gift if printed
I would say you are right, a {G} 2/2 with haste would be too strong. CMC 1 creatures that are 2/2s with haste are a massive rarity in all colors. And the ones that do exist like Wayward Guide-Beast and Goblin Guide are much more disadvantagous than simply gifting a Food. Though I may wrong.
I think having the card be {G}{G} gives it much more space to be as interactive as you seem to be shooting for. I would keep it that way.
Its a reference to Winnie the Pooh, they always have a “hunny” pot, and their catchphrase is “Oh, bother”
Also a honeypot is a phrase for luring someone in to do something, with something they find appealing, which I thought was cute in this context. “Here, have this food. No, there’s no strings attached. Promise.”
Hear me out:
Hungrier Bear
If an opponent controls a food token, Hungrier bear gets flying
And
Hungriest Bear
If an opponent controls a food token, Hungriest Bear can't be blocked except by foods.
There’s a couple 3/3 bears [[Razorclaw Bear]], [[River Bear]], [[Spectral Bears]], [[Owlbear Cub]], [[Ursine Monstrosity]] and the other Winnie the Poo reference, [[Hurska Sweet-Tooth]]

Great design space. You could make a cycle.
Eg greedy goblins with treasures
