Long before any significant spoilers hit the web, MTG Bloomburrow already scored one win in my book.
Thats thanks to whats likely its most self-evident trait: being really, really cute.
Just like that, Bloomburrow was already onto a winner.
Of course, the folks at Wizards of the Coast are aware that this is the case.
The particularly elaborate theming of every Standard set released in the last 12 months is strong evidence of that.
Take Outlaws of Thunder Junction, for example.
It was pitched as Magics Wild West set and at least that much was crystal clear in its execution.
However, it failed to offer much beyond this campy, Stetson-sporting veneer.
Undoubtedly, it delivered some compelling narrative threads within its band of rootin tootin ne’er-do-wells.
What is Thunder Junction actually like?
Who are the people there?
What is a Fomori vault doing in the middle of the desert?
Its, uh, you know … a cowboy town, the set seems to meekly reply.
Murders of Karlov Manor committed similar sins.
Change can be good, of course.
Bloomburrow has a surprising amount in common with old-school Ravnica.
[Mabel] has a family and shes fighting for them.
