Cute animals are a staple of Magic: the Gathering, but in the Bloomburrow set you can buy in the Standard version, they're adorable, collectible, and a blast to play with.

The last MTG set at Prerelease without a bonus sheet was Murders at Karlov Manor , and I can't remember the last time the Limited format didn't have five or more bombs from The List or Special Guest cards. For the first time in a long time, I actually enjoyed deckbuilding and gameplay at the Bloomburrow Prerelease events.

I had a slight advantage going into the Bloomburrow Prerelease weekend, having played in the early access content creator event on MTG Arena on July 24th. Playing against some of the best players in the world is a great introduction to a format’s meta. Most of my time during the MTG Arena Streamer Event was spent in Draft, but I did get to play a few Sealed rounds. Between early access and games on my LGS, here are four things I think everyone should know before playing the Sealed Bloomburrow meta.

Aggro players thrive in Bloomburrow Limited, even in Sealed. Mid-range is alive and well, as is some Control, but aggressive decks are favored with the stats to support the build choice.
