Bloomburrow is a Magic booster set scheduled to be released on August 2, 2024.

Set on the new plane of Bloomburrow, it features a world of cute anthropomorphic animals with no humans in it. The animals have an advanced culture and are the main characters of the set. They wear clothing, talk, and wield magic. Much like on Segovia, foreign Planeswalkers are changed when 'walking to here; in Bloomburrow's case, human Planeswalkers are transformed into anthropomorphic animals like the local races while here.

Bloomburrow has a minor Typal theme. Each Limited color pair represents a dedicated creature type. These include woodland creatures like Bats, Birds, Frogs, Lizards, Mice, Otters, Rabbits, Raccoons, Rats, and Squirrels. Offspring is a new mechanic.
