The Complete Guide to Bloomburrow Prerelease and Draft | Magic: The Gathering Deck Building
This article will help you confidently enter Prerelease, Draft, and Sealed events at local game stores or via MTG Arena while playing the Bird archetype. Don't miss our exclusive spreadsheet detailing every card in Bloomburrow that has been reviewed for Limited Play and is available to all MTG Madness subscribers.
The Bird archetype in Bloomburrow Limited features flying creatures, +1/+1 counter synergies, and powerful ground creatures. Signpost cards that can draw you in the Bird archetype include the rare Plumecreed Mentor and the rare legendary Kastral, the Windcrested. However, you can also play the archetype without these cards by building an aggressive Azorious deck.
There are nine Common and Uncommon rarity Birds in total in the Bloomburrow set, so you can't just rely on playing creatures with Flying. This is where the signpost Plumecreed Mentor becomes important.
