Bloomburrow (BLB) Play Booster Box | 36 Packs
Magic: The Gathering — Bloomburrow (set code: BLB) is a Standard-legal Magic: The Gathering expansion released on August 2, 2024 and the 101st Magic expansion in the game's history. Bloomburrow is one of the most visually distinctive and tonally unique sets in recent Magic history — a complete departure from the dark horror of Duskmourn and the gritty mystery of Murders at Karlov Manor. The entire plane of Bloomburrow is populated exclusively by anthropomorphic animals: Mousefolk, Rabbitfolk, Frogfolk, Batfolk, Birdfolk, Lizardfolk, Squirrelfolk, and many more. There are no humans anywhere on this plane. Every card, every character, every story beat is built around the animal folk of the Valley and their fight against elemental forces threatening their home.
This tonal decision makes Bloomburrow one of the most accessible and gift-friendly Magic sets ever produced. The artwork is universally charming and warm — pastoral landscapes, cosy village scenes, heroic little creatures in armour — making it a natural choice for gift buyers, parents buying for children, and anyone who has been put off by darker Magic aesthetics. It is also one of the most beloved sets among the Magic community for exactly this reason, with Bloomburrow consistently ranking among the top-rated Magic sets of 2024 in player surveys.
The set introduces five mechanics tied to the animal folk of the Valley. Gift lets you offer opponents a benefit in exchange for a more powerful effect — a risk-reward mechanic reflecting the Valley's community spirit. Offspring lets you pay extra mana when casting a creature spell to also create a smaller copy of it, representing parents and their young. Forage requires sacrificing three Food tokens or exiling three cards from your graveyard to fuel powerful abilities — gathering resources to survive the elemental threat. Valiant triggers whenever a creature you control becomes the target of a spell or ability you control, rewarding targeted buffs and protection spells. Expend rewards you for spending a cumulative amount of mana in a single turn, scaling in power as your resources grow.
The ten Limited archetypes in Bloomburrow are each built around a two-colour pair and a specific animal folk combination — Blue-White Birdfolk, Black-Green Frogfolk, Red-White Rabbitfolk, and so on — making this one of the most coherently structured draft environments of 2024. For players who enjoy building tribal decks in Commander, Bloomburrow provides an exceptional suite of new Mousefolk, Rabbitfolk, and Squirrelfolk legendaries and support cards.
The standout collector treatments in Bloomburrow are the Field Notes variants — cards redesigned to look like entries in a naturalist's field journal, complete with handwritten margin notes and sketch-style borders. These are among the most beloved alternate art treatments of any 2024 Magic set. The Seasonal Showcase basic lands — featuring the Valley across the four seasons in full-art pastoral illustrations — are widely considered some of the most beautiful basic lands ever printed. Bloomburrow Play Boosters may also contain Special Guest cards (SPG 38-47) — 10 powerful reprints from Magic's history appearing at approximately 1 in 64 packs in non-foil.
Note: this box contains 36 packs — one of the last sets released in the larger 36-pack Play Booster format before Wizards standardised at 30 packs per box from Duskmourn onwards, giving you 6 additional packs compared to more recent releases at a similar price point.
