5 Things I want in Bloomburrow | Mtg 

Calling it now, we're getting a Thalia, Bunny Guardian of Bloomburrow

Bolas is the one "trapped in the forever plane" (Ugin's Meditation Realm), and Ugin is staying there to guard him and keep him from ever escaping or regaining his power. So that's why no Bolas or Ugin for a while. Like I imagine Bolas will escape or something at some point, but it'll probably be like a big dealio rather than a random show up in a set.

Karn would obviously be a little stone dog. Think about it: Created to be a companion (in part), defined by loyality, capable of defending his master. He's got big dog energy, as to most golems.

My number one bloomburrow prediction that I’ve said since I heard about the set is that there will be an animal helping the main group that at the end follows them out and we find out they are a main character that maybe even lost memory. You said it but I’m calling garruk bear or wolf or wolverine or something.

Engaging the algo for the extended theme song!

I would turn Karn in a little tortoise with a silver carapace.

I found a dead mouse in my apartment parking lot right after you said the Mickey magic part. The prophecy is started

Im sure Kharn will turn in to a rock on bloomborow

Your last point is precisely why single set blocks are a bad idea. We need two sets to adequately explore ten guilds.

The vibe of this set is reminding of Eldraine. I agree that it should be on a high powerlevel

All I want is cute art. That will be the win for me. I've loved Redwall since I was a kid and love small critters/humans stories. Can't wait

Bolas is in the prison realm desparked and Ugin is his jailer for the remainder of his mortal life. It has now become a prison for Ugin and Bolas, alike - they cannot leave it. But just to be certain that Bolas will never plague the multiverse again, Ugin will keep watch over his brother until Bolas' natural death in thousands of years.

I want swarms and packs and flocks. Single, fairly costed, cards that drop two or three (or more) bodies on the board. I'd also love a new tap cycle 'warrens of the ', 'burrows of the ', etc that tap to give either mana *or* can be tapped to create a 1/1 chump of whatever kindred corresponds to the color pair. This feels like it should be the widest of the wide weenie sets.

Garruk was in the sidelines of a recent set. The card The Huntsman's Redemption in Wilds of Eldraine was reference to his adventure with Kellen or something. I'm not certain. But I agree he'd be awesome as a Squirrel or something.

God what an old, irrelevant video. Bloomburrow is already yesterday's news. Where is the "what I want in Duskmourn" video? If you can't tell that's a joke. Dear god Wizards, let these sets breathe just a little. We don't need eternal spoilers. Just seeing Duskmourn spoilers before they've even started showing more than 5 cards from Bloomburrow. I'm hoping this set is amazing. I know many older players are hoping this is more of a return to more classic Magic. Fingers crossed.

Yes you are 110% right about high power level. I want a three cost ( 2and a g or 3 g doesn't matter) 7/5 trample, reach, death touch treefoolk and yes powerful new snow covered shock/ dual/ tri/ bolt lands 😃

For your 4 color lands just don’t give them land types, for the love of god. You can have a land that taps for white, black, red and green. Just don’t make it a Plains Swamp Mountain Forest that can be fetched by every fetch land and single-handedly gives you 4/5 Domain.

With regard to dual lands, I actually would like them to just put shock lands back in standard. They’re not new, but they’re great, and I’d love them back in standard.

Sure the comparisons to lorwyn will continue but what if you did dual lands like ancient amphitheater for every creature type? Reveal a (insert type) or it enters tapped like fortified beachhead for soldiers?

So the one big disagreement I’ve got is the desire to see more main set returning characters. I’m honestly a little tired of seeing characters from, like, Ravnica on every single plane. Bonus sheet, though? Alternate universe, alternate art treatments? Yes please.

Karn would obviously be a cool clockwork owl that goes on adventures. Like just Bubo from Clash of the Titans

If we do not get big Grizzly bear Garruk I will riot- I wanted him with a steel chair in MoM, give me big bear Garruk cowards

I am already disappointed with the set. A stupid bird deck, but no foxes? Fart you WoC!

_Sorin_ would totally be a cute little _Mirkwood Bat_ hanging upside down from a branch.

They’re bringing Dack Fayden back to life for this one. Mark my words!

Bro I’ve never heard the full bar of your rap that went hard 😂

its okay to say "tribal" bro. We said it for 30 years and it wasnt a problem.

I hope THIS set has changelings. I know it won’t, but I can always hope

I want tribal multi color lands “comes into play untapped if you control a wizard, soldier, cat, etc.” I want tribal synergy back into standard. I remember the days of elves, merfolk, saplings being standard decks.

I want them to reprint Wizard's lightning as Otter's Lightning just for the art

Karn turns into a Car from the movie Cars. Hes gonna have his own sub type “Carns”

Incoming “Bolas, devourer of cute innocent creatures”.

Regarding anthems, how about a cycle of cheap mono-colored enchantments that anthem every guild/creature type featured in the set? So a green and 1 for an anthem that hits whatever creature types correspond to gruul, selesnya, simic, and golgori, with a second notably-green feature. That may make them good for standard and perhaps commander in spots, but not crazy for everything (anything?) else.

The fursona bonus sheet.

look, ive wanted otter tribal ever since ikoria so just keep seeding otters matters card to me please

i want cards that can't be countered. there are a bunch of creatures that have ways to protect themselves from being destroyed, but so very few that protect themselves from being countered.

Dev, you fool. Bloomburrow was last year. It’s Duskmounrne spoiler season now.

Oh snap! Tapping that notification asap!

A new cycle of lands could be something like lands that tap for two colors and can be sacrificed for a third color

My theory is that they will print a cycle of dual lands like fortified beachhead that will enter untapped if you have a member of a certain creature type in hand or on the field

Excited for Bloomburrow preview season, can't wait! 🥳👏

1-5 playable frogs 😊

Hear me out… Dual tapped pathways; but they share one color on each side so red/blue - red/green or blue/white - blue/black. “Fair” 3 color mana fixing

Since you like dank Jank, check this out. I think I found a deck that nobody else has found, AND it’s good: Deck 2 Vaultborn Tyrant (BIG) 20 7 Mountain (USG) 343 4 Play with Fire (MID) 154 3 Professional Face-Breaker (SNC) 116 2 Etali, Primal Conqueror (MOM) 137 3 Gala Greeters (SNC) 148 1 Boseiju, Who Endures (NEO) 266 1 Black Market Tycoon (SNC) 167 3 Security Rhox (SNC) 220 1 Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance (NEO) 276 3 Magda, the Hoardmaster (OTJ) 133 2 Bonehoard Dracosaur (LCI) 134 2 Copperline Gorge (ONE) 249 4 Rockfall Vale (MID) 266 3 Karplusan Forest (DMU) 250 4 Forest (UND) 96 3 Sticky Fingers (SNC) 124 3 Riveteers Requisitioner (SNC) 121 4 Voltage Surge (NEO) 171 1 Goldvein Hydra (OTJ) 167 3 Big Score (SNC) 102 1 Ruby, Daring Tracker (WOE) 212

Based on the uncommon lands, the guilds and their respective animal types are; WU - Bird WB - Bat WG - Rabbit WR - Mouse UB - Rat UG - Frog UR - Otter BG - Squirrel BR - Lizard GR - Racoon

I think the problem with 4 color tap-lands is just -- why not 5 colors then? (5:39) (11:30) Lmaoooo. Maybe Karn would be a metal animal like something from power rangers. Or idk, a colorless turtle. Oh my god wait -- Barn. He's a building artifact named "Barn". Alternatively: a legendary creature bird named "Barn, Owl" I would personally love to see a new Squee card. Squeek, the Immortalon

Fun fact: Yeah, you're right, planeswalking makes you adhere to the plane's rules of existence, but omenpaths ignore this. So if you walk through an omenpath, you'd be a normal-size, lame human. A bear-Garruk would be hilarious. EDIT: Too bad Kiora lost her spark. Big sad.

So, what you want, and what were getting, is to see what everyone's fursona is. I like the way this is going. I just want them to make a card, or maybe re-skin the one guy from legends, or his knock-off from DMU that's a breakfast tiger, and make his art just the most muscle bound shirtless deviant art nonsense. Then, follow it up by giving us a set-specific board wipe like Apocalypse Chime, but just call it Shame, or better yet, it turns all your non-humans into 1/1 or 0/1 humans, just so WotC can let us know that they know that we know (I know... that was awkward) what they're doing here.

For your first point I was initially thinking "Dev, you crazy. We don't need a big power creep set." but I think you've talked me into it. New Standard, new baseline. I want something that can shake up the format so we're not seeing the same decks that were top of the meta remain on top. I actually think a good shake-up would be something based on creature types though; they can be as self-contained as you want them to be. The Selesnya Enchantments deck from NEO or the Bant Toxic deck from ONE - just an all-new deck crashing in and demanding notice, despite being (essentially) a block constructed deck. Maybe Izzet Otters becomes the new hotness that people have to start considering. Also, just thinking nice and cynical business dude-like; the cute animal set might draw in more attention than the usual. If you make a sort of Block Deck here, it might kickstart Standard from people just opening the set and building from what they've got. Lord of the Rings probably tried and sure did sell better than everything else, but was a rough entry point because Modern is a tough format. Maybe Bloomburrow.deck remains relevant for three years.

What I want. Strong 1 drop green and black creatures. More options to remove artifacts in black. New black sweeper to replace path to peril. Green lifelinker. What I don't want. No new white sweepers. Take a day off ffs. No new impactful U/W cards at all in fact. Yall can have a 1/5 flyer for 4 mana, best we can do. Red, idgaf it all dies to removal anyways. Sincerely, Golgari Mid Range

If Blue/White Sunfall and Domain/Reanimate Atraxa are dominant, then the only counter to that would be hyper-aggro (mono red, Boros, etc.) and that would be quite sad. They might need to ban Sunfall from Standard.

We know exactly which animals belong to which guilds because of the spoiled lands. If you don’t feel like puzzling it together they’re listed on the MTG Wiki.

I may be mistaken, but Bolas still has his spark, as does Ugin. War of the Spark ended with Ugin making the sacrifice play by trapping Bolas and himself in Ugin's relam with the Immortal Sun, which stops planeswalkers from planswalking.

Your comment about chopping wood being a relatively core tenet of cozy games begs the question: is RuneScape a cozy game?? I would argue yes, but I get if it’s not a universally-held opinion.

I want a new main character that's compelling so there is mystery on what they'll look like off Bloomburrow. Typal sets pretty much suck (Ixalan...) so I don't think anyone should get excited about power level right now. Its also hard to imagine a set that's all about animals, but not be typal. 🤷

All I want is no more cards for monored. I’m getting sick of it. Thank god it’s gonna lose some key cards like Kumano faces kakkazan. It’s time to move on and to stop toilet-players from developing the usual no-brainers deck and busting the meta (talking mostly about Bo1 here).

Garruk = honey badger 🦡 Bolas = nah you right ,evil raccoon Ugin = good raccoon? Liliana = goth Lola bunny 😏 Kiora = [censored for the algorithm]

How about creatures that make it so when any creature of their type leaves the battlefield, it triggers…something? Draw a card…make a squirrel…or something like that - would love to see something that neuters sunfall. Too bad that would probably be super breakable.

Considering the theme, I think it'd be great to have duals with the types that gain your opponent 3 life. We could call them healing duels (in honor of Healing Salve) 🤷‍♀️

I am hoping they handle typing by using umbrella words such as 'Rodent' to make the cards more flexible and effective. This should lessen the amount of cards referring to type to make space for other fun stuff.

WHAT HAPPENS TO KARN?!?! he turns into mana rock, karn silver stone taps for colorless.

Bolas was sent to that prison realm, so I guess he still has his spark. Emrakul in Bloomburrow would be the realisation of the fabled 15 Squirrels killing an Eldrazi Titan meme.

I think reprints should have been for the numbered yearly sets, or sets like those, while themed sets for a plane or something should focus on that plane. But I think having like Eldraine's Enchanted stories where you get special side cards that are for reprints of older existing cards, is perfectly fine, infact I like those alot.

That's an extremely Me thing, but I wanna see Arlinn in the set and story. Predators in that plane are kinda the big bads and it would be nice contrast to have a friendly wolf helping the protags? Would be interesting design space too. Probably not gonna happen lol but super excited for the set nonetheless ^^

How was Angrath, the minotaur planeswalker, not in OTJ? Considering all the bull and cow references it seems like he would have been a great fit.

WoTC doesn't care about what we want.... I've waiting forever for a Sultai Faerie xD

I want to see Narset as a kitten with the name, "Nyaset of the Hidden Pounce" A beast lord in Jeskai colors who gives beast creatures 2x prowess. Lol

Think garruk would be nice to see again. 😗 but i hope aswell he stil is a planeswalker. I would like a fitting borderless one for my muldrotha deck😅 And i just hope they make a good story this time. Zander junction was soo bad and march too and karlov manor ... Yeah i mean they have all this money. Can it be so hard to have the story department of the sets work together and make a good coherent story that doesn't just kill of something like atraxa in a little longer sentence as a little sidenote?

As far as land reprints go, I wouldn't mind seeing something the like check lands come back (Glacial Fortress and friends) since we haven't seen them in a while and they would make a solid replacement for the slow lands. As for new lands I would like to see ones that care about the creature type, either as an ability or a way to come into play untapped.

As long as the art is good, and we're headed down to flavourtown, I'll be happy. Ideally there'll be enough in terms of critters to help give note options to gimmick tribals too

I'm suprised you didn't mention Kellen!? I just want to know what happens to that little dude. My guess is that he'd anthropomorphize into some pointless critter like an opossum or a pigeon.

Kiora was desparked right? I’m assuming Karn turns into an artifact Fox. XD I want more Kasmina or Teyo cards.

Me: who would by a card just cause it’s cute? That’s dumb. Also me: my God. I hope there’s lots of bunnies!

I think the animal planeswalkers were not explained well.. Lore wise what makes the most sense is that the planeswalkers are just changing their appearance to blend into the animal world of bloomburrow, since planeswalkers appearance is just a mental projection, they can look however they want

I would love to get one specific reprint - Lightning bolt. Come on Wizards, give us bolt!

Jokes on you. I've been playing Jeskai with for well over 6 months now and I don't plan on changing that post rotation.

Oof, super disagree with you on the first point. I want a relatively weak set (honestly). I think Standard is worst when they release a super power level set at rotation, and then it's defining the meta until it rotates (which is an eternity away). It's better if the sets ramp up power closer and closer to rotation so that each set changes the meta. Therefore you want the first set of rotation to be a weak one.

Id most like to see wizards announce that they've hired some actual magic players to monitor the state of stadard and recommend cards to ban. Because saying standard is healthy shows how out of touch they are.

I think Karn wouldn't turn into what ever xantcha bloomsona was, with 50% more silver

Possums in Gruul colours. If you know, you know.

Is there any chance for faeries on bloomburrow or would they just be like... moths or something? I was hoping to make dimir faeries more of a thing post rotation but i bet we aren't getting any more in this set

karn would be a toy motorcycle, also the dragons would become lizards or chickenfolk

Have you tried Palia? It's like a cozy MMORPG. It's neat.

Karn turns into a toy wind-up monkey with symbols and a fez. Great question.

If this makes a new standard deck viable like mice kindred I'm 100% building it!!

I hope the tribes actually kick ass. Tribal decks can be so cool but they're not usually good in standard. This set has strong tribal themes, so let the tribes be strong.

I think possibly the best use of Karn on Bloomburrow would be for him to be the straight man on Bloomburrow

My guess is the legendary creatures will be the guild leaders and all the typal creatures that correspond to that leader will be in those colors but mono colored so if you like frogs and bats you can do blue black frogs and bats black green frog bats or blue white and green white and the commander ones in the set will probably have a third color associated with them to hit the story beats and give more reason for players to play their old typal cards in the color or to help push older cards or cards in recent previous sets

Would Braids be a hyena? Raccoon, badger, raven? I’d love to see any version of Braids as an animal

Tri color pathways… so one side would be black and red the other would be black and blue or something

Always remember. Don’t take life too seriously. You won’t make it out alive.

Sooo when they keep saying stardew valley…do they mean animal crossing?

Anyone else wishing the Redwall series and/or a Tales of desperaux feature with this would be ideal?

it will be an extreme missed opportunity if they don't get at least *a couple* pieces from Rebecca Guay for this set

I want every set before the western set to rotate out and give us a fresh standard. Other than that its a dead game not worth playing. Multiple decks with turn 3 wins is not a healthy meta.

I think its actually pronounced Bloomb-urrow. Glad to help out, please don't check my work.

At this point if the set doesn’t have a mechanic that’s similar to adventure (giving card modality) it’s not gonna be too good

I feel like Dev wants more subscribers, views, and clicks.😂😂

I'm just super excited for this set, and not looking forward to the horror house one at all :D

I'd be pretty pissed if it was pathways. I just sold the whole JUND play-sets
