Hey, nerds! Instead of doing one or two deck techs for the set, I'm going to share five unique deck ideas featuring some of the new commanders from Bloomburrow, with three additional honorable mentions for a total of 8 deck ideas! But don't worry, I'll also be going over some key cards for these decks. Alright, let's get into it!
Let's start with the honorable mentions.
Vren, the Relentless
The idea here is to give other players tokens using cards like Genesis Chamber
Ygra, Eater of All
Next is Ygra Stax. Ygra turns creatures into artifacts, meaning you can turn off everyone's creatures with Karn, the Great Creator
Zinnia, Valley's Voice
The final honorable mention is Zinnia, Valley's Voice Jeskai Legends. Zinnia gives all your creature spells offspring , including legendary creatures. Of course, you'd have to sacrifice one of them because of the legend rule... unless you turn off the legend rule with Mirror Box
Now onto the main show!
Ms. Bumbleflower
First up is Ms. Bumbleflower Voltron. Bumbleflower is the face commander for one of the new precons and is an incredibly powerful Bant commander that provides card draw, counters, and temporary evasion. Her counter ability can target herself, so as you cast protection, Equipment, and Auras you grow your commander and give it evasion. You are giving opponents cards, so you want to either play Narset, Parter of Veils
Baylen, the Haymaker
Next is Baylen token pile. This idea was inspired by my friend who created an Atla Palani, Nest Tender
Mr. Foxglove
Next is the other Bant precon commander, Mr. Foxglove combat tricks. Foxglove draws you cards based on the difference between your and your opponent's hand sizes. It also lets you just put creatures into play, but that's boring. Instead, I want to load up on combat tricks to pump him while emptying our hand to draw as many cards as possible. Simic Charm
Gev, Scaled Scorch
Next up is Gev persist combo. Gev gives creatures +1/+1 counters so long as an opponent has taken damage during the turn, so creatures with persist, such as Murderous Redcap, Puppeteer Clique, and Putrid Goblin, go infinite with any sac outlet. We can take this even further, however, because sometimes we might not have these exact creatures in play. With the combination of Cauldron of Souls and Dross Scorpion or Infernal Captor, we can repeatedly give our entire board persist with Cauldron, then sacrifice all our creatures except for Gev, have them return and untap Cauldron so we can do it again. Infernal Captor does need a creature that generates a token creature when it enters or another persist creature. To close out the game, Altar of Dementia can mill everyone, Goblin Bombardment pings, and Gray Merchant of Asphodel drains the table. Ideally, you just get a sac outlet with Murderous Redcap and Gev though. That is the easiest way to win.
Zoraline, Cosmos Caller
And finally, we have Zoraline, Cosmos Caller Orzhov Vampires. Obviously, Zoraline wants us to build Bats, but what is a Vampire except a Bat that's humanoid? Jokes aside, there are 19 Vampires in Orzhov that make Bat tokens, and over 150 Vampires that are mana value three or less. You do lose some lifegain from their first ability, but the second ability is what I'm interested in. It's great recursion from the command zone for some of our best Vampires, like Blood Artist, Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, and Cruel Celebrant. You should still add some Bats to the deck; I mean it's still on theme. Basilica Screecher has extort, Darkstar Augur is a flying Bob with offspring, and Lifecreed Duo is a Bat soul-sister.
And that wraps up the 8 unique deck ideas from Bloomburrow! If I inspired you to build any of these or have a unique deck idea yourself, let me know in the comment section below! And let me know if you want more deck ideas just like this for other commanders and check out my other videos shown on screen here. Alrighty nerds, I'll see you next time!
