Hey Wizards... I want to be able to play this in Legacy Lands with Seismic Assault and others as an enchantment toolbox - you need to print an enchantment version of Academy Ruins. Call it Sanctum Ruins (Serra's Sanctum) and make the ability cost 1W and tap. Or call it Crumbled Library (Sylvan Library) and make the ability cost 1G and tap.
You'd think a card that makes Bears would make me think about Bears, but for some reason it makes me think of Cats and Frogs instead... Especially frogs. Ribbit.
So... Can we assume that Ayula is the name of the new planeswalker?
The flavor text suggests that Ayula is just a legendary bear. Can't see Branchy McTreeface marking his territory with clawmarks. Also pretty sure the second PW is a dude.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Ayula's probably the bear-ish card depicted on the booster artwork.
A friend of mine has a bear tribal deck currently lead by Yeva (Goreclaw doesn't care about most bears) so I do hope he gets a proper commander now!
In what universe? If you build a deck like that, and ever draw that hand, I will personally come to wherever you live, perform complicated acts of awestruck ********, then disembowel myself to escape the world that allowed something like this to occur and validate you.
Between this and Savage Swipe, it seems that bears that are actually 2/2s are a (minor) theme here. This is exactly the right set for meme-y fun stuff like that, can't wait to see what Ayula herself looks like.
I already run words of Wilding in my Enchantress EDH, in order to avoid drawing too many cards, free land discard seems so much better, even with the awkward mana cost.
Is Ayula the second walker or is it a legendary bear (particually the one on the booster pack art)
Why not both? A bear planeswalker!
If she uses runic claw marks that summon other bears, she is probably sapient and can hold a spark. And the flavor text does suggest that she tends to leave her territories...

I think this is the right answer. This'll be a treat if true because the booster makes it look like she has Jesper Ejsing art.

This thing, plus the thing that reveals the top 6 and you keep the snow cards, plus snow forests....
I'm thinking that mono green bear lands might be a thing.

Fingers crossed for Ayula being a "2/2 stats matter" legend (if it's in this set at all).
Pretty please!

This is good in its own rights, if you can constantly draw lands or return them to your hand this is a engine (and in a color that cares about lands.)
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to.

Anyway here’s the question everyone wants answers
Is Ayula the second walker or is it a legendary bear (particually the one on the booster pack art)
Why not both? A bear planeswalker!
