Imagine: Courageous Critters is a series of 28 cards with a showcase treatment that envisions renowned Planeswalkers and creatures were they to visit the plane of Bloomburrow.[1] Note that these are not to be considered canon visits in the storyline but rather "What if?" scenarios.[2]
The Showcase: Bloomburrow Secret Lair drop is a complementary product, with animalshifted versions of Sorin, Huatli, Tezzeret, Kiora, and Vraska.[3]
Description[ | ]
There are 20 different Imagine: Courageous Critters cards in Bloomburrow Collector Boosters. All of them appear as borderless cards with expansion code BLC (#0073-0092), and four of them also as anime showcase cards (#0093-0096). Additionally, there are four Imagine: Courageous Critters cards (#0097-0100) found exclusively in the Bloomburrow Commander Decks. These planeswalker cards appear in foil and are part of each deck's 99. All cards have "Imagine: Critters" written in the information below the text box. This release does not make them Standard legal, but they are historic legal.
Note that R&D only chose cards for this series with depictions that don't contradict their type line.
