So in an Arena game, you could put some of these new bears in play, then summon the Steelclaw Grizzly and say "Here comes Papa!!" (Or conversely, your opponent drops a Steelclaw Grizzly, puts him on guard, then says "Who's your Daddy?!")
What's interesting is it's possible to get mummy bear to attack with 9 dice in an arena game, without any additional bonuses. Add on two melee from the staff, two from bear strength, one from the hand and further bonuses from the totems etc.... This momma can be rolling 17 dice with piercing two or three when charging into a beastmasters zone and attacking!!!!!
So, does that mean Steelclaw Grizzly and Steelclaw Matriarch are prerequisites if you want one or more Steelclaw Cubs in your spellbook?
That and a lair
