Magic The Gathering Releases All-Animal Set Bloomburrow

Wizards of the Coast has announced the release of “Bloomburrow,” the latest set for the popular trading card game Magic: The Gathering (MTG), launching on August 2, 2024. This new set marks a significant milestone as MTG’s first entirely non-human plane, featuring a cast of small animal characters in a fantastical woodland setting.

Bloomburrow introduces players to Valley, a pastoral realm where miniature creatures wield magic and weapons to defend their homeland against the threat of Calamity Beasts. The set’s narrative follows Mabel, a courageous mouse, and her diverse group of animal companions as they strive to restore peace to their world.
