Four Bloomburrow Commander Decks were released together with Bloomburrow on August 2, 2024.[2][3]

Description[ | ]

The four Bloomburrow Commander decks each contain 10 new cards with the BLC set code. Main Commanders appear as Borderless cards (#0001-0004), while the alternate commanders (#0005-0008) and the rest of the new cards (#0009-0040) appear as normal cards. These cards are permitted in the Commander, Legacy, and Vintage formats. The other cards in these decks (with printed set code BLC and collector numbers #0105-0355) that have been previously printed are legal for play in any format where a card with the same name is permitted.[4]

In Collector Boosters, Main Commanders can appear as anime raised foil versions (#0101-0104), and the rest of the new cards as extended art versions (#0041-0072).

There are several additional cards with the BLC code, that aren't to be found in the Commander decks. These are the Imagine: Courageous Critters (collector numbers #0073-0100; raised foil #0093-0096), and the Bloomburrow Buy-a-Box card Flubs, the Fool (#0356).
