Quick Links
Bloomburrow is a cozy plane where small anthropomorphic animals live in general harmony.
An important point is thatthis archetype only works if you also play non-flying creatures.
Notably missing from the list above are the Bats, which are present in white and black.
Since Bats have flying,they won’t work as targets for your Bird buffs.
Threshold deckswork best when you’ve got a handful of cards in your graveyardto trigger the threshold abilities.
In a limited format, however, this ability has a chance to shine.
If you manage to get Gev, Scaled Scorch, you might cast Lizards and get their bonus automatically.
Both Duo cards, Glidedive Duo and Kindlespark Duo, also do an excellent job of enabling the archetype.
Classesare another excellent option.
Since a lot of the Rabbit effects target a specific creature,Mice also work well in this archetype.
White/Black Batfolk: Life Gain And Loss
White is excellent at gaining life.
Black excels at using life as a resource.
Combining the two, the Bats of Bloomburrowbalance out life gain and loss and reward you for both.
Thetrick to this archetype is balance.
Sealed and draft formats do not include the normal four-copy restriction on cards.
If you find five or six copies of important cards like Savor, feel free to include them all.
Bats pair well with Lizards and Rats.
A couple of copies of Lifecreed Duo will also enable Rabbits, with their mountains of creature tokens.
Prowess triggers from any noncreature spell, butinstants are key because they provide utility.
In a draft, you’ll likely be competing with Lizards for burn spells and Mice for buffs.
Birds and Frogs can also help provide your buffed otters with evasion and extra enter triggers.
Note that forage counts as sacrificing, soyou get two lands and a forage trigger for three mana.
Squirrels work well with Frogs, which can return them to your hand for additional triggers.
Red/White Mousefolk: Valiant Aggro
Red/white is considered one of the weaker color pairs in constructed Magic.
If one Mouse gets through the blockers, feel free to give it all the buffs.
Birds pair perfectly with Mice, granting themflying and other boosts which will further trigger their valiant abilities.
Lizards can also be splashed in so you can get an extra reward out of combat damage.
