I think this guy (or girl) could introduce a fun little bit of extra variance into the game...I suppose I'll see...!
For what it's worth, fellow cardfloppers may recognize its jade-ness as a reference to a pretty classic Magic: the Gathering card:
The Statue may have gotten more than one MtG homage over the years, but the main one I'm familiar with is this one from the set Champions of Kamigawa:
Even Hearthstone has gotten in on the jade monster action, with ever-growing Jade Golems' being a key mechanic in a recent expansion...
So I guess there's something about jade. That comes to life. Seems cool to me.
All those 2's on the card are also a little nod to another classic MtG creature...
This original 2/2 for 2 mana has become so iconic that Magic creatures in general that match those stats and cost are referred to as "bears."

So, ah...I guess that's all on today's ursine offering. I appreciate your taking the time to read this...and hope you'll stop by tomorrow for another Monster...!
