Owlbear 3GG
Creature: Bird Bear (Common)
Trample Keen Senses - When Owlbear enters the battlefield, draw a card. Many believe that a misguided wizard created the first owlbear, but others insist these creatures have always existed in wild Faerûn .
4/4
Owlbear's here, and it even has Keen Senses like it does in D&D.
It has 2 different names in french, weird. "Hibours" is fun and fluent to pronounce but also sounds like "e-balls", which is going to rise some jokes among french players.

I would guess they are just using these ability words for flavor in this set. I think it is silly that it does not have the abillity of keen sense though, if they want to call it that.

I think keen sense will be "trigger: draw a card"

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
What's the point in using a keyword here? ETB doesn't need a keyword attached. Draw a card doesn't need a keyword. Keen Senses matters cards don't seem necessary or useful. Why bother putting it on the card?
kavu climber sure has come a long way. This seems like a decent card for limited, acting as a common top-end that has some minor evasion and replaces itself.

Here it looks like its just flavor. Owl Bear has Keen Senses in D&D, so they tagged the ETB with that just for the reference. I wouldn't expect Keen Sense to show up elsewhere.
This one is good. No complaints and decent translation of Keen Senses.

Your analysis is correct but Limited, my friend, Limited.
