Fans are going nuts over Redwall-style MTG set, Bloomburrow

Blo🔯omburrow is my favorite MTG set in years, no question

Judging by social media, the new MTG Bloomburrow set (which is basically Redwall meets Magic: The Gathering) is going down very well. 

After being given the spotlight at MagicCon, this new world starring anthropomorphic animals showed off Commander decks, unique features, and a rendition of what some Planeswalkers would look li꧂ke in animal form. (Jace is apparently a fox, if you're interested). However, it's the painfully adorable an𒊎imal artwork from MTG Bloomburrow that seems to be sending fans… well, wild. 

sums up all of our thoughts with "Absolutely. Fucking. Incredible. Artwork" in a discussion thread about the reveals. Meanwhile, on Twitter says that MTG Bloomburrow "has a chokehold on our DnD group." Honestly, I get it - no matter whether it's character artwork or land cards that depict a location during each season, this set is nothing if not eyecatching. 

A pair of A-list guest artists are supporting the project too. The creator of Mouse Guard, David Petersen, has created five illustrations for MTG Bloomburrow, while Mitsuhiro Arita (who has previous experience with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best card games thanks to their work 𒀰on Pokemon) is also featured with a borderless take on the great bear 'Lumra, Bellow of the Woods.'

Artwork aside, we goꦏt our first look at the various booster packs and Commander decks that are being included in MTG Bloomburrow as well. Animated Army is a Red-Green combo featuring a sorcerous racoon as its face Commander, and it tasks you to "make trash, do smash." At the other end of the scale, the stork-fronted Family Matters (Blue-Red-White) focuses on making 'offspring' and going wide. That's in direct contrast to the Green-White-Blue Peace Offering deck that's all about +1/-1 counters and a "group hug." Finally, the Black-Green Squirreled Away deck lives up to its name by having you hoard tokens.

Intriguingly, a starter set is also being ꧅included in the Bloomburrow lineup. The last themed beginner box we got was for the incredibly popular Lord of the Rings crossover, so publisher Wizards of the Coast clearly has faith in this one.

Either way, it's clearly an animal-friendly time at Wizards. A similar concept has joined its tabletop RPG via D&D Beyond, and this𝐆 Redwall-style spin❀ on D&D is everything I didn't know I needed.

Bloomburrow is set to launch this August, after the Wild West-themed Outlaws of Thunder Junction (which has 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:another pointy-eared bad boyಌ for🤪 us to fawn over) hits shelves.
