MTG Bloomburrow released August 2024 and took a bold creative direction — a plane with no humans whatsoever, populated entirely by sentient animals in a cozy woodland setting. Mice, frogs, rabbits, birds, and otters replace the humanoid fantasy archetypes, and the result divided opinion but created a uniquely passionate fanbase.
For Australian buyers the question is whether that fanbase translates into sustained secondary market value. The answer is yes, with some caveats.
At AU$180 for a 36-pack Play Booster box, MTG Bloomburrow sits in borderline territory. The all-animal cast and cozy woodland aesthetic drove strong initial demand and Commander players have kept secondary market interest alive well past release. The showcase treatments are visually distinctive and sought after by collectors. Use the C3 EV Calculator for a current AUD verdict based on your purchase price.
What Is Bloomburrow and Why Does It Matter for Australian Players?
Bloomburrow is set on a plane of small animal communities living in a world scaled to their size — a mushroom is a landmark, a pond is a lake. The set introduces Gift and Offspring as new mechanics. Creature type synergies across the various animal races drive strong Commander demand for tribal deck builders. The Bloomburrow showcase treatment uses a distinctive nature-art style that has attracted collector interest. The Play Booster box contains 36 packs with 14 cards each.

Why does Bloomburrow have no humans? Bloomburrow is set on a plane where the dominant intelligent species are small animals — mice, frogs, rabbits, birds, and otters — rather than humanoid races. The design choice was intentional to create a distinct plane identity. It is the first MTG set without any human creature cards.
What tribal decks does Bloomburrow support? Mouse, Frog, Rabbit, Bird, Otter, and Bat tribal archetypes all have dedicated payoffs in Bloomburrow. Mouse and Frog are the strongest competitively.
