Introduction

Up to 8 players draft a more powerful and condensed version of Bloomburrow limited. Pack design imitates play boosters but increases the number of rares and adds a special guest in every booster.

Booster Design

Three boosters of each:

8 commons
4 uncommons
2 rares
1 special guest

Commons have up to three copies, everything else is singleton.

Almost every common and uncommon is featured.

The special guest slot has flavor-appropriate cards from other sets. They are separated as rarity "special".
Filter r:s to see only special guest cards.
Viashino has been officially errata'd to be lizards.

Draft Archetypes

wu: Birds (Fliers with non-fliers)
ub: Rats (Threshold control)
br: Lizards ("Opponents losing life" matters aggro)
rg: Raccoons (Expend midrange ramp)
gw: Rabbits (Tokens go-wide)
wb: Bats (Life gain/loss flyers)
ur: Otters (Spellslinger and Prowess tempo)
bg: Squirrels (Food and Graveyard matters midrange)
rw: Mice (Valiant aggro)
gu: Frogs (Flicker & Bounce midrange)

A Classic Set, Remade (Design Goals)

• 💎 Embellish a piece of magic's booster history.
--> keep as much of the original format intact while creating a more modern, deep and varied limited environment

• ⚖️ Balance trumps pure nostalgia.
--> rebalance card distribution, rarity and, in some cases, oracle text
--> nerf overpowered bombs and cut unplayable draft-chaff
--> balance the mana curve of each color and further support archetype synergies to make any color-combination fun and playable.

• 🃏 Make flavorful additions from other releases that fit the set's themes, art and mechanics.
--> Special Guest or Bonus-Sheet type of inserts that create extra variance and surprise veteran drafters.

• 💪🏼 Gameplay feels more like block constructed decks rather than the original booster-draft format as decks are generally more powerful.
--> Commons are still valuable, decks are just more synergistic and reliable (fixing, mana curve)

• 💸 Small & Affordable
--> Easy assembly, low barrier to entry

Remastered Balance Changes

These optional erratas are meant to help improve upon a few issues that a lot of people have with this format:

  • Green is too good in every rarity and is the most drafted color by a large margin.
  • Blue is weak, especially it's rares are below average (even when I left out the most underwhelming ones already).
  • Red also underperforms with Blue-Red being the worst pair.
  • Card-selection and card-draw are too rare and flooding out or getting mana screwed is far too prevalent.

These erratas are now visually implemented into the cube as custom images for the respective cards.

As I have visually updated my other remastered set cubes over the past months using cardconjurer, I decided it was time to give this cube the same treatment. I am still very thankful for the gold-bordered revisions provided by OmegaSong - this is just about consistency.

Furthermore I've made erratas for more cards:
I noticed I didn't want to see some cards in my pool because they were too bad to be played and yet by cutting them I was also removing any chance for the more undesirable archetypes to have even a little chance to compete. So these erratas buff Birds and creatures with flying in general and add some extras to Otters and Raccoons as well. Many of these changes are backed by 17lands data.
I'll update the overview section with a comprehensive list of all extra erratas.
Unfortunately I haven't yet figured out how to make Sagas and Classes in cardconjurer so I'll have to add those another time.

If I wanted to use only cards from Bloomburrow, what could I replace those non-BLB "special guest" cards with?
