Best cards to pair with Little Bear in The Hobbit limited

common

Ordinary Bear
Ordinary Bear
Creature — Bear

Ordinary Bear is a Bear that Little Bear can target to put a +1/+1 counter on when entering, and together they contribute to the Bear count needed for Beorn the Fierce's draw trigger.

 Beorn, Reluctant Host // Till and Tend
Beorn, Reluctant Host // Till and Tend
Legendary Creature — Human Bear Shapeshifter // Sorcery — Adventure

Little Bear can untap Beorn after he attacks and put a +1/+1 counter on him since he's a Bear, allowing Beorn to attack and still be available to block, which is excellent value in limited.

uncommon

Beorn's Hospitality
Beorn's Hospitality
Enchantment

Beorn's Hospitality puts +1/+1 counters on creatures via Landfall, and Little Bear's flash lets you enter it at end of opponent's turn to untap a Bear and set up a counter from Beorn's Hospitality on the next land drop.

rare

Gigantic Big Bear
Gigantic Big Bear
Creature — Bear

Little Bear can untap Gigantic Big Bear after it attacks and put a +1/+1 counter on it since it's a Bear, making the already massive hexproof creature even larger and giving it pseudo-vigilance.

mythic

Beorn the Fierce
Beorn the Fierce
Legendary Creature — Bear Shapeshifter Warrior

Beorn the Fierce turns a creature into a Bear and gives it a trample counter, making Little Bear's untap and counter ability relevant on more creatures, and Little Bear itself contributes to the three-Bear threshold for drawing two cards.
