Collecting Bloomburrow: The Four Most Important Things to Know

Editor's Note: Collector Booster contents have been updated.

Welcome to the all-new, all-animal, and all-amazing plane of Bloomburrow! Magic's latest set is filled with cute treatments and styles that embody this release, so there's sure to be something for every player. Whether you're a Commander superfan, collector of alternate arts, or just a basic land lover, Bloomburrow (BLB) is sure to whisk you away to Valley. 

Top 4 Things to Know About Collecting Bloomburrow

You'll find all the details for where and how often you can collect all aspects of Bloomburrow below. But if you just want the quick hits of what's cool and fun to open in Bloomburrow, then check out these top four things to know about collecting this cozy set.

1. Imagine: Courageous Critters Reimagines Magic Favorites

Sure, they're not all canon, but what if Jace was a wily fox, or Liliana was a cunning squirrel? It was too much fun to resist, so we created 24 Imagine: Courageous Critters cards that put furry faces on familiar friends. We've seen some Planeswalkers so far, but this crew includes some creatures cutified through Bloomburrow's unique magic. You can find 20 different Imagine: Courageous Critters cards in Bloomburrow Collector Boosters. 

Additionally, there are four Imagine: Courageous Critters cards found exclusively in Bloomburrow Commander Decks. These planeswalker cards appear in foil and are part of each deck's 99. Want an example? Tamiyo, Field Researcher is part of Peace Offerings, the Green-White-Blue deck. 

2. Japanese Raised Foil Anime Cards

This is the cream of the crop for collectability in Bloomburrow. These 20 cards feature art from renowned artists on cards from the Bloomburrow set. Legendary illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita lent his talents to Lumra, Bellow of the Woods, capturing the sheer scale of the Calamity Beasts. Japanese versions are only found in Japanese-language Collector Boosters, with English versions in all other languages of Collector Booster. Opening one of these is a truly special event. 

3. Collecting Field Notes

Calamity Beasts are causing havoc all around Bloomburrow, and the animals of Valley are taking field notes to stay informed on these monstrous elementals. These 8 Calamity Beasts—7 mythic rares and 1 rare—are a threat to Valley, so it's best to stay informed! You can catch these field notes in both traditional foil and non-foil in both Play Boosters and Collector Boosters. 

4. Customize with Full-Art Seasonal Basic Lands

Match your basic lands to how you're feeling. Want to make your deck cozy cool? How about a fall Island? How about kicking off your Hot Squirrel Summer with a full-art summer Forest? Or sip some cocoa and decorate your deck with a winter Plains! All five basic lands get all four seasonal treatments, though some seasons are more commonly found in boosters than others. Full-art seasonal basic lands can be found in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters in both non-foil and traditional foil.

The Booster Fun of Bloomburrow

• Spring 40% 
• Summer 30% 
• Autumn 20% 
• Winter 10% 

You can find the full-art seasonal basic lands in non-foil and traditional foil in Play Boosters, Collector Boosters, and Bundles.

Showcase Woodland 

See the plane of Bloomburrow through a classic fairy tale–inspired frame! This set's showcase treatment features 42 different cards, 7 mythic rares and 35 rares, each with new artwork within this unique frame. You can find these in non-foil and traditional foil in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.

Borderless Field Notes

With this release we're debuting the field notes treatment, stylized like classic journal drawings shared among each other as our friends in Bloomburrow study the larger Calamity Beasts that have suddenly appeared on the plane. There are a total of 8 cards in this treatment—7 mythic rares and 1 rare—all of which are available in non-foil and traditional foil in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.

Borderless Cards

There are also 11 different borderless cards in the set. These cards feature a classic Magic art style and illustrate two groups of cards. First, the rare legendary land Three Tree City features a seasonal treatment like the basic lands in the set.  

(Note: Three Tree City seasonal artwork does not have staggered rarity within boosters like the full-art basic lands.)

Second, a cycle of mythic rare modal spells appears in this treatment, depicting truly mythical moments from Bloomburrow's history.

Our friend Ral, the sole planeswalker card in Bloomburrow's main set, appears in this treatment.

Borderless cards are available in non-foil and traditional foil in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters. 

Last but not least, Magic: The Gathering is pleased to welcome the world renowned TCG artist Mitsuhiro Arita to Bloomburrow!  

These borderless cards are available in non-foil and traditional foil in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.

Imagine: Courageous Critters

Those entering Bloomburrow through the Omenpaths find themselves taking a quick paws when they see their reflection.

There are 24 total Imagine: Courageous Critters cards in the set, spanning Planeswalkers and creatures from Magic's history, each illustrated as if they were on Bloomburrow.

During the development process of this set, our design teams had a blast establishing the image for what Ral would look like when he entered Bloomburrow, and during that process, we also worked up a short list of characters that would be fun to see come to life within the set in the same way. The Imagine: Courageous Critters cards are not canon events in the plane.

There are 20 non-foil and traditional foil Imagine: Courageous Critters cards found in Collector Boosters. Each Commander deck features an Imagine: Courageous Critters planeswalker card in traditional foil, with the non-foil version available in Collector Boosters.

Japanese Raised Foil Anime Cards 

In Bloomburrow Collector Boosters, there are 21 cards featuring a new raised foil treatment—19 of these cards have exclusive artwork found only on this printing of the card, along with Mitsuhiro Arita's Lumra, Bellow of the Woods. The collection of cards spans the entire Bloomburrow release, including 11 legends from the set, 5 Imagine: Courageous Critters cards, 4 Commander face cards, and 1 main set planeswalker card (Ral, Crackling Wit).

Extended-Art Cards

There are 13 rare cards from the Bloomburrow main set that have been given the extended-art treatment. These are exclusively found in Collector Boosters, bringing more scale to our tiny heroes.
