It's rather unlikely one would want to activate that ability. Why is this an uncommon btw? Seems very fitting for common rarity.

I figured that it being repeatable was too strong. so I added a small cost.

Would it be better to have it cost less or be repeatable or both?

I'm more than happy to make it a commomn

Why not a ETB or death trigger? That way it's not repeatable (which is actually better - you want some hidden information in your game), but also doesn't require active use if you'd rather trade the creature with an equivalent body.

Blue bears now. I remember the outcry over black bears. Good times.

I might be a bit out of the loop but since when are blue bears a thing (officially)?

Also, I agree that death or etb trigger would be fitting here ala Telepathic Spies.

I dunno if they are at thing yet, it always feels so underpowered to make them weaker though

Usually these kind of dudes are either 1/3 or 2/1 - or 1/1 with flying. Ie. Merfolk Observer, Ingenious Thief, or Omenspeaker. Actually flash might be neat here. 1/2 is pretty weak and generally worse than 2/1 since that can clock you twice as fast.

Green and white get better bears, red and black just started getting bears. Blue will never get a bear without a downside

*has never gotten

OOF, you just got DESTROYED with FACTS and LOGIC
