Meet the tiny yet mighty adventurers of Bloomburrow!

Discover your inner folk hero in Magic: The Gathering’s first all-animal set, journeying with the smallest and bravest in a charming pastoral plane.

2 August, 2024 — Wizards of the Coast today launched Bloomburrow for tabletop, the latest set for the world-renowned trading card game, Magic: The Gathering (MTG). Set in a fantastical woodland plane, and Magic’s first entirely non-human plane, Bloomburrow is where courage and great power reside in the tiniest critters.

Magic’s smallest heroes

Step into Valley, an idyllic pastoral woodland where swords and magic are wielded by tails, scales and wings. When a terrible peril looms over this peaceful plane with the rise of the Calamity Beasts, it’ll take mighty amounts of courage in the smallest of creatures to save the valley. Join the brave mouse Mabel and her adventurer friends; Gev the lizard, Hugs the badger, Finneas the rabbit, Zoraline the bat, as well as the now-otter planeswalker Ral Zarek, as they fight to restore peace.

New & Returning Mechanics

The denizens of Bloomburrowemploy new and returning strategies to defend against the calamitous threats, some of which include:

• Offspring, a new keyword found on creature cards allows the tiniest heroes to play their part. By paying an additional mana cost, the player creates a token copy of the original card, except with 1 power and 1 toughness (1/1).
• Gift, gifts come in all shapes and sizes, but you’ll always receive an advantage in return! By promising the Gift specified on a card to an opponent, such as food tokens or drawing a card, players can receive any number of advantages to help sway the tide of battle.
• Forage, a new action allowing players to exile three cards from their graveyard or sacrifice a food token to trigger varying effects. Never go into battle with an empty stomach!
• Valiant, creatures with a brave heart may have this new keyword which triggers bonus effects whenever the card is targeted by a spell or ability.
• Expend, no resource is wasted as this new rule term tracks how much mana a player has spent throughout a turn, then grants boons depending on the number of mana used while the Expend term was in play.
• Modal Spells, allow players to adapt to their surroundings by choosing to trigger three different effects listed on this new type of card. Players can spend up to five ‘pawprints’ with each effect costing one, two, or three pawprints to trigger. Effects can be triggered more than once, creating opportunities for powerful combinations!
