Summary

In this engaging Commander game, each player commanded a deck built around one of four Bloomburrow commanders: Bello, Bard of the Brambles; Hazel of the Rootbloom; Zinnia, Valley's Voice; and Ms. Bumbleflower. The game kicked off with players setting up their mana bases and ramping up with artifacts like Arcane Signet. As the game progressed, Leonard, commanding Zinnia, Valley's Voice, started amassing an army of small creatures in true bird bard fashion. Amazonian, piloting Ms. Bumbleflower, opted for a group-hug strategy, flooding the table with card draw. Bello's player leaned into the deck's theme of turning inanimate artifacts into formidable creatures. Hazel's player, on the other hand, leaned into token strategy, taking advantage of Hazel's ability to create token copies.
