Ursapine

This is very much a limited creature. In constructed play, you generally aren't going to want a 3/3 creature for five mana. Being able to pump any creature with a green mana is pretty sweet though. I'd absolutely draft this card up early and dedicate to green, but I can't see myself making this guy a priority on any constructed deck list.

Constructed: 2
Casual: 2.5
Limited: 4

Ursapine

While it's a bit costly for constructed, this card can be a boon if you're going a decent amount of green in your limited decks. The more, the merrier. A fair deal at a 3/3 for 5 mana, the G ability is really what makes it great. A high pick and a reason to go green if you can pick up decent stuff (not usually a hard task in Rav).

Constructed - 2.5
Casual - 3.5
Limited - 4.5

Ursapine- Rare- Ravnica

hey peoples, today we have the superpumper, ursapine.

this dude is a POWERHOUSE! not only that he makes all your other creatures POWERHOUSES!! he can save anycreature you have from burn and/or combat, and he can also have him and your other creatures attack in a huge alpha strike. very good card for limited. but for constructed? i think its too slow, and it really only works w/ swarms, and if your playing something like G/W weenie with this in your deck, then you wont be going far.

Ratings:
constructed- 2/5 just too slow for the decks that it would be useful in
limited- 5/5 a awsome card, if you get this out you are mostlikely gunna win
casual- 3/5 its a pretty fun card, but nothing too special about it
