MTG Bloomburrow Commander decklists - full card list for Family Matters, Animated Army and more

Card art from Ms Bumbleflower, Bello, Bard of the Brambles, and Hazel of the Rootbloom.

MTG Bloomburrow Commander decklists have been revealed and they're sporting some of Magic: The Gathering's most adorable critters.

That said, it's probably not wise to choose what precon you're going to add to your collection solely based on which face Commander you find the cutest. In deciding which deck is for you, you'll first want to get a general idea of what its core archetype, themes, and mechanics. Then, you'll want to down into the nitty gritty and take a proper look at the full decklist.

That's where we come in. Below, we've laid out a full decklist for each MTG Bloomburrow Commander precon. This way, you can not only get a strong sense of each deck's strength and playstyle, you can only start to investigate which cards you might sub in to upgrade and customize your deck. 

Animated Army decklist

With only 23 creatures, you might initially think that Animated Army isn't all that battle ready. However, thanks to its face Commander Bello, Bard of the Brambles, you can transform some of your Artifacts and Enchantments into creatures on your turn to have them bring the pain to your opponents (and give you some sweet card draw).

With this system in mind, Animated Army certainly isn't lacking in Enchantment and Artifact cards — over a quarter of the deck is dedicated to these spells that'll not only buff your existing board state but also provide you with extra fire power when you're on the offensive.

Peace Offering decklist

Peace Offering is a precon that's just as sweet as it sounds. Fronted by the face Commander, Ms. Bumbleflower, this deck embraces the 'group hug' archetype — meaning you'll be dishing out lots of favors to your opponents in order to butter them up and keep them fighting among themselves. 

Part of Peace Offering's 'kill 'em with kindness' approach is hinged on the newly introduced Gift mechanic. When you cast a card like Wear Down or Peerless Recycling, you'll have an opportunity to promise a Gift to an opponent. If you choose to do so, both you and your opponent are rewarded with bonuses like extra card draw or token generation.

Squirreled Away decklist

(Image credit: Wizards of the Coast)

MTG Bloomburrow as a set already has a pretty strong reliance on typal theming when it comes to its fuzzy creatures, but Squirreled Away really kicks that up a notch.  It doesn't put all its acorns in one basket though. It seems as though only a third of the deck's creatures are squirrels but it has plenty of cards like Chitterspitter that'll help you create a formidable army of vicious rodents.

True to the nut-hoarding tendencies of these critters, Squirreled Away also has space to generate Food tokens and sacrifice them to gain life or Forage.
