The statline "Other creatures are Food in addition to theire other types" is a really cool mechanical expression of an apex predator, and putting it in the set that has the cutest creatures in the games history was certainly a choice.
I usually have zero interest in playing Golgari commanders but that one line of text makes me want to build it so badly. I want to chomp up all of my creatures, huge flavor win imo
it's kind of odd flavour that it makes them all artifacts but I've been keeping my eye out for stuff in Green that does artifact stuff, so this is a great contender to take the Commander spot from Oviya Pashiri or someone in that project.
This is why I really miss block formats. Imagine staying here for a year instead of getting excited for a month before we're whisked off to some other set we're supposed to care about suddenly. It's exhausting. This is a charming, beautiful environment - shame we won't have time to appreciate it at all.
Alternatively, they are taking MUCH bigger setting swings than they ever have specifically because they don't have to stay in a setting that may be unappealing for too long. Though I do generally agree, release schedules are bananas, its baffling that people even attempt to keep up.
Hell, I would even take a 2 block of this set. It feels like too much content to just shove into a single set. It took the OG ravnica 2 sets to fully explore all 10 guilds. I don't think this set with it's 300 ish cards will be able to explore all the fractions fully as well as the calamity beasts.
It goes the other way too, though: MKM was a pretty unpopular set, could you imagine taking half a year to unravel a mystery that nobody seemed to care about? I would love to see a return to this plane but I value the flexibility more. Plus they can just go to a plane twice in a row like they did with the 2022 Innistrad sets
Not to mention they left out squirrels for the tribal buffs in this set...because that makes sense...don't worry though...they gave it to the bats. Cuz those guys are always in the same mana color...fml.
have you been playing a tribal samurai deck? I'm looking at a cheap 50$ CAD one with great art, but the art seems fuzzy, from online picture. Looking at the Mardu commander who double triggers on attack
@@riverfilms4548 Yeah, even the published accompanying story seemed criminally short. There's so many questions I want explored that are left hanging. We didn't learn anything about what the calamity beasts are, or their purpose/legend in Bloomburrow.
Redwall, Secret of NIMH, & Watership Down just jump out to me - which are some of my absolute favorite fantasy worlds so this set has me enamored. It speaks to my childhood, I really love this one
Yeah, its kind of weird that its extra mana only if you control three or more creatures of the SAME type. Doesnt really jive with what Three Tree City was supposed to be about per the oddly satisfying voice.
Because it appears thus far it was crafted with care and takes itself seriously. Wizards has been churning out really uninteresting, visually generic, sterile, corporate product for so long I'm trying not to get my hopes up. For many of us who've been deeply in love with fantasy universes over the last 30+ years I can assure you hardcore fans don't hate on something for having a gentle or cute factor involved in the process. I loved Lorwyn and the Kithkin as much as I enjoy the older Phyrexian blocks or the soullessness of the plane of Esper, for example. On the contrary, Strixhaven, down to the trailer and presentation, was bogus and shallow from its conception. MtG always stood as a bastion of the highest caliber of fantasy themes and the last few years they've been letting that quality diminish so heavily. Not just artistically but flavor-wise and thematically a lot of sets in recent memory really fell flat. Too many marketing ploys and gimmicks; not core, true MtG. Again, I really don't want to get my hopes up but I was hooked just from the trailer. Incredible animation with heavy emotion evoked by mere woodland creatures that don't even have dialogue. That's the quality that used to by synonymous with MtG set teasers. A stark contrast to the Strixhaven trailer with the snarky talking book and clip art style animation and oh boy...college fraternities! It's a shame we will only get one set to tell this story and immerse in this exciting new plane, but beggars can't be choosers. I'm hoping you're right - that this set will be as successful as it appears it can be. Maybe the money will talk and the suits over at Hasbro will demand quality product.
@@TheRealPDizzleAbsolutely love what you have to say here, but I still don't get why they don't go back to the block style release, that and core sets as ever since they got rid of those they have just tried to find replacements for them in jumpstart and now Foundations. Like we fans want blocks back, come on WOTC
@@numberoftheword in that case you haven't paid attention much as this seems to be very well received and awaited. You are not ma lot of people though. There's always people who don't like it, but it doesn't seem to be "a lot".
I hope it's enough that Wizards/Hasbro decides to return to this plane again sometime soon. Although I guess they operate way ahead of the curve but hey, maybe someone up there will take notice and they'll do a 180.
Thank you for adding the names of the artists in every image! it makes it so much easier to look for them :). Much respect from a fellow illustrator. It's all STUNNING
This set is amazing. I'm hoping to be able to introduce my 8 year old daughter to Magic with this set. I've played for over 30 years, and I think it's about time to pass that knowledge on to my offspring.
I figured that they would be the returning noncreature subtype from MaRo's spoiler, but everyone was flapping their gums about it potentially being Junk, and it made me waver a bit.
I have never been interested in Magic The gathering... until I saw this video.There's something about it that calls to me. I am a huge fan of the Redwall series. I LOVE this. I feel like even if I never learn how to play the cards.Collecting them to just looking at them will be awesome.
One thing that I'm really loving about the way the animal people are depicted in Bloomburrow is that while different species all have specific cultural things that they do, their morals are seemingly specific to individuals as people, instead of having broad, species-wide factions of good guys and bad guys. The tendency to say "these animals are the good ones, and these animals over here are the bad ones" is THE reason I never got into Redwall, despite how beloved the series is among my generation, and I really appreciate the way Bloomburrow generally takes a more equitable view of its animal people. Especially the rats. I love the rats.
I'm not too familiar with Redwall, but I find this to be a really interesting comparison, and I totally agree that the unity between these different cultures rather than segregation is so much more intriguing and inspiring.
That bugged me about Redwall too. It seems Wizards took the best parts of the “anthropomorphic mice” genre-courage, friendship, kindness, celebration of each other’s differences-while leaving out the negative.
@@earldrazi2879 I think, it's close. Both are the most hyped set for different audiences (of course there's always overlap.). 1. MH3 as the set that people expected to have a huge number of playables for modern and commander. 2. Bloomburrow more for it's flavor and feeling like the first "real" magic set of the year as in "it's actually standard playable" and also "doesn't feel like a universe beyond product". I'm not as negative on Outlaws of Thunder junction, but the whole "everybody now wears a cowboy hat"-gimmick wasn't everyone's cup of tea. It feels like the Streets of New Capenna of 2024 in that a lot of people aren't into the theme.
These cards look incredible. The art is gorgeous and the story keeps on hitting that childhood storybook nostalgia. I don't play Magic, but this set is dangerously close to changing that. Thank you so much for this great new set!
I hope WOTC and Hasbro can learn a lesson from this set. That being when you make a set that has people this stoked you better have a block for it, and not just give it one month to sit in stores before the next set comes out. No wonder power creep has been so bad recently, they wont stop pumping out products!!! I'm not completely against universes beyond but it feels like that's the company's priority rather than making and developing there own IP. If you look back and the golden age of standard and arguably recent magic the kaladesh-ixalan blocks all got at least two expansions before they moved on to the next plane and I personally love those sets so much, Kaladesh and Aether Revolt being my favorites as that's when I got into MTG. But Wizards, come on please, I know you and Daddy Hasbro want all the money you can drain out of our pockets but just give us less product per year, I know I don't want twelves sets a year and at least one product has dropped a month or felt like it sense Outlaws of Thunder Junction. Just give it a rest, give us more sets per block and less products per year, makes the buildup more fun, the power creep less, and gives us more time with amazing set concepts like this!!!! also my personal take reprint any land that is over like 8 bucks, nobody should have to drop hundreds of dollars on lands so they can build a top of the line competitive and strong mana base.
So Wizards, are we going to see a Bloomburrow D&D setting book? Come on, you know you want to, after all Humblewood is one of the most popular 3rd party settings and now you've got your 'official' version of it.
Honestly ths only thing that'll make me regret this preorder is if the card quality is crap. Everything shown so far has been beautiful. Don't really care if its powerful I want to build a deck with these.
The bats at star gazers is certainly a choice, but the design team does 100% understand squarels. That and the Big Cat making all creatures food is just brilliant flavor.
I just watched this movie two days ago. It's beautiful. The stone magic was weird, but I think it represents, how advanced technology always feels magical to people who not yet understand it.
@@Paul20661 I started right before Alara came out, so I missed Lorwyn by a year I think. Kamigawa was right between them. I still bought a bunch of Lorwyn stuff though. A lot of my cards are stored in fatpack boxes haha
My daughter is going to be stoked about the rats. She started with eldraine so rats were big for her and shes consistently improved her first prerelease set since.
Nearly ten years ago, I made a vow that I would never spend money on Magic the Gathering again, because as much as I love the game, trying to keep getting new sets and the cards I wanted for decks was just way too expensive, and my collection is already big enough to play in any variety I wanted. Because of Bloomburrow, I am making a one-time only exception. The theming and aesthetic of this set is just too perfect. I'm still only buying one box of boosters and the Squirrel deck once it goes down in price, and after that I'm done getting new cards for good. But kudos to the team that worked on this set, and many thanks.
The birds and the mice are friends? Okay, then... Still, this set looks beautiful and really captures a more traditional MTG feeling. A breath of fresh air.
The awesome part is that this plane still has room to show animal folks that are 3 mana based and 4 mana based. Despite of (or perhaps because of) being depicted as a tiny people plane it has the most room for growth.
@@ohcrapnotyou7323I don't think any of the new squirrels will outclass Chatterfang's power and capability to fill the board with tokens (but I think hes included in the Squirreled Away precon as a 99 anyway).
Outstanding card art from Vincent Christiaens, Omar Rayyan, Raluca Marinescu, Campbell White- this is top-tier talent. Been playing since 1995 and this looks to be some of the best artwork I've seen in the game, which is saying something given how much amazing work there's been over the years.
I need all of those arts on my PC screen. Having those masterpieces is my main goal as well as having the whole collection of the cards in digital and real life
3:30 "...a might peek that no-one but a brave birdfolk can reach." Looking more closely at the card, we can see a mouse with a hang glider who's ready to put that to the test!
Looks like a fun set! It sucks that blocks aren't really a thing anymore. I feel like it'd be fun to stay in Bloomburrow a while. Magic is travelling so fast, and we don't even know what's to come next in the story. I like that the guilds have been somewhat re-imagined as animals. It gives us some new flavor to be excited for! It's a cute set, it's within universe, it feels unfamiliar yet refreshing, and I like what I see. Again, I wish we'd just stay for an entire block, but I'll take what I can get. And next time we do a block, I'd prefer something that is neither the Aftermath nor the Double Feature treatment, please. No need to ruin a good thing, because this seems pretty nice!
Can we stay here LONGER (several sets) and maybe throw in a Netflix show while we are at it? This is GORGEOUS! I'm also thinking about homebrewing an RPG campaign inspired by this (Mausritter is an obvious match for this, TBH!)
Just started playing Magic and was on the fence about committing to it but this set removes any doubt! It really minds me of the Redwall series. All I need from Magic is a badger that yells “Salamandastron!”.
The statline "Other creatures are Food in addition to theire other types" is a really cool mechanical expression of an apex predator, and putting it in the set that has the cutest creatures in the games history was certainly a choice.
I personally love it.

That would get in the way of Bluey or whatever other secret lair they're dropping

For real!
Fully agree! I want a whole year here!
Wish Wizards has a 1,000 cards base set that last for 5 years, so my cards don’t rotate out every year…

Guys this is an ai comment LOL
Wizards really did say “child soldiers” I kid, it looks like a very fun set!
not only that, they said "Everyone in bloomburrow cares about their kids. Which is why we're introducing child soldiers"

@@earldrazi2879 I think, it's close. Both are the most hyped set for different audiences (of course there's always overlap.).

2. Bloomburrow more for it's flavor and feeling like the first "real" magic set of the year as in "it's actually standard playable" and also "doesn't feel like a universe beyond product". I'm not as negative on Outlaws of Thunder junction, but the whole "everybody now wears a cowboy hat"-gimmick wasn't everyone's cup of tea.

Tal was already an otter though.
These cards look incredible. The art is gorgeous and the story keeps on hitting that childhood storybook nostalgia. I don't play Magic, but this set is dangerously close to changing that. Thank you so much for this great new set!
If you're not interested in other sets but you do like this one, maybe consider a draft/sealed event when the set comes out?
Same. I just bought a starter set just because I love the concept
I hope WOTC and Hasbro can learn a lesson from this set. That being when you make a set that has people this stoked you better have a block for it, and not just give it one month to sit in stores before the next set comes out. No wonder power creep has been so bad recently, they wont stop pumping out products!!!

Just give it a rest, give us more sets per block and less products per year, makes the buildup more fun, the power creep less, and gives us more time with amazing set concepts like this!!!! also my personal take reprint any land that is over like 8 bucks, nobody should have to drop hundreds of dollars on lands so they can build a top of the line competitive and strong mana base.
I adore the visuals , especially when we see makeshift gear from small things like leaves and nuts. Rather than just human clothes on animals

@@Sweetroll_Wolfie That the necklace was magic?

Replying for algorithm points.
@@tomevans2499lol thanks!
thank you
Finally a set that's reminiscent of Lorwyn, i hope they do a block set like that too.
Lorwyn is coming back in 2025 I think
I started playing when Lorwyn came out XD got the FAT PACK remember those
@@Paul20661 I started right before Alara came out, so I missed Lorwyn by a year I think. Kamigawa was right between them. I still bought a bunch of Lorwyn stuff though. A lot of my cards are stored in fatpack boxes haha
@@The2ndnothing 😮 no way, I hope they don't mess it up!
The art alone makes this set S tier
Now this set feels like a Magic set. Wish we had another set right after still on this plane.
This is perfect for my Wilds of Eldraine precons 💚
Out of all the sets released this year I figured Duskmourn would be the one I'd be most interested in but ngl this peaks my interest.
Three tree city looks pretty cool, like nykthos but for creature types.
Would absolutely LOVE to see an animated tv series of Bloomburrow! The story alone can stretch up to 8-9 seasons
a secret of nimh set? i approve
also this video really made me want to play dnd in this world
My daughter is going to be stoked about the rats. She started with eldraine so rats were big for her and shes consistently improved her first prerelease set since.
I’m digging it. The trailer was beautiful, the art on the cards are fantastic, and prospect of playing a deck built around tweaked out raccoons rocks.
We need a universes within dockside retrain about a raccoon stripping copper wire lol.
Finally, a fully realised concept!
So this is Magic x Redwall
And I'm 100% here
Where have you been? This is 100% that
Nearly ten years ago, I made a vow that I would never spend money on Magic the Gathering again, because as much as I love the game, trying to keep getting new sets and the cards I wanted for decks was just way too expensive, and my collection is already big enough to play in any variety I wanted.
Because of Bloomburrow, I am making a one-time only exception. The theming and aesthetic of this set is just too perfect. I'm still only buying one box of boosters and the Squirrel deck once it goes down in price, and after that I'm done getting new cards for good. But kudos to the team that worked on this set, and many thanks.
The birds and the mice are friends? Okay, then...
Still, this set looks beautiful and really captures a more traditional MTG feeling. A breath of fresh air.
Hopefully there isn't a large contingent of shrikes 😢😢
Well if the birds eat seeds and bugs it makes sense. Plus these birds seem to be smaller and cuddlier than most birds-of-prey.
For a moment when they said "band together" I was like... Yay Banding!
This was such a well done intro to the set! I have enjoyed the evolution of these set intros over the past few years
The awesome part is that this plane still has room to show animal folks that are 3 mana based and 4 mana based. Despite of (or perhaps because of) being depicted as a tiny people plane it has the most room for growth.
Finally a set to grab my interest since Lord of the Rings. Loving the nostalgic Redwall vibes.
Finally a set that feels magical again and not some weird mishmash of other genres
Chatterfang is happy
Bro might become part of the 99 after this set
@@ohcrapnotyou7323I don't think any of the new squirrels will outclass Chatterfang's power and capability to fill the board with tokens (but I think hes included in the Squirreled Away precon as a 99 anyway).
@@FelipeLundgreen how do you know that? I wouldnt expect that

time to make some squirrels EDH deck
This is the first set in a while that really feels like Magic. I'm in love with this set already.
Mouse Guard as Magic?! Yes plz
I almost hate how much I love this setting. What a genius expansion
I am greatly interested! Looks promising and intriguing. This has potential to be my favorite set thus far.
Outstanding card art from Vincent Christiaens, Omar Rayyan, Raluca Marinescu, Campbell White- this is top-tier talent. Been playing since 1995 and this looks to be some of the best artwork I've seen in the game, which is saying something given how much amazing work there's been over the years.
These statlines are WILD. Standard's about to get aggro! Love love love the theme of this set!
This is the most excited I've ever been for anything ever.
First set in a while I've felt connected to and been excited about.
Outstanding animation. I love the call backs to Secret of NIMH and Redwall. CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS.
Flubs, the fool comes straight from the raider-white tarot illustration. Surprisingly Interesting set...
This looks like a genuinely fun set! Can't wait!
I need all of those arts on my PC screen. Having those masterpieces is my main goal as well as having the whole collection of the cards in digital and real life
3:30 "...a might peek that no-one but a brave birdfolk can reach." Looking more closely at the card, we can see a mouse with a hang glider who's ready to put that to the test!
If the mouse can reach it, they're an honorary bird.
Looks like a fun set! It sucks that blocks aren't really a thing anymore. I feel like it'd be fun to stay in Bloomburrow a while. Magic is travelling so fast, and we don't even know what's to come next in the story. I like that the guilds have been somewhat re-imagined as animals. It gives us some new flavor to be excited for! It's a cute set, it's within universe, it feels unfamiliar yet refreshing, and I like what I see. Again, I wish we'd just stay for an entire block, but I'll take what I can get. And next time we do a block, I'd prefer something that is neither the Aftermath nor the Double Feature treatment, please. No need to ruin a good thing, because this seems pretty nice!
Omg this is absolutely what magic needed. A set hasn’t looked this good since war of the spark
Wish Brian Jacques was still around. Maybe we get a proper Redwall universe beyond.
Can we stay here LONGER (several sets) and maybe throw in a Netflix show while we are at it? This is GORGEOUS! I'm also thinking about homebrewing an RPG campaign inspired by this (Mausritter is an obvious match for this, TBH!)
Wow they Finaly manage to make a set on a new planes that I'm looking foward to! Good job!
I wish they would make a full cartoon of this. I am SO excited for this set!!!
WotC actually put love and flavor into a set instead of just printing money, it's a miracle.
Just started playing Magic and was on the fence about committing to it but this set removes any doubt! It really minds me of the Redwall series. All I need from Magic is a badger that yells “Salamandastron!”.
There is a very prominent badger character! You could play him as a commander and yell when you cast him :)
Hype for the Mice, Racoons and Rabbits to band together.
As well as the Bant Precon, of course!
The last time a flavored set excited me was Ravnica and well before that the Onslaught set. I will be coming back to magic for this one.
The animations in this are incredible
Oh my, now im worried about the Trauma Duskmourn will cause once it hits standard together with this set 💀
Man, is that Corrin Evertail?
Would love to see this as an open-world rpg! Such a fantastic plane
I'd binge the hell outta this if it were an anime! Giving serious Redwall vibes!
this might be my favorite set of all time and i've been playing since 1997. I love animals :)
This would be a great setting for a D&D game.
Psssst. Checkout Humblewood. 3rd party 5e source book. Has similar vibes.
Redwall meets MTG... My childhood has returned! 🙏💙
Looks so good! Can't wait!
