So, I saw this “mtg bloomburrow set is bad” thing floating around, and I thought, “What’s the big deal?” I’ve been playing Magic: The Gathering on and off for a while, you know, just casually. I wasn’t super hyped about this new Bloomburrow set, but figured I’d give it a shot, like I always do with new sets.
First, I checked out some previews online. You know, the usual stuff – card spoilers, some articles about the new mechanics, and people’s reactions. Honestly, nothing really grabbed me. The whole “animal” theme just felt a bit… childish? I don’t know. Maybe I’m just getting old. But hey, I’m always open to trying something new.
Then, I jumped into a few pre-release events at my local game store. It’s always fun to crack open packs and see what you get, right? But playing with the cards, well, it just confirmed my initial thoughts.
- The games felt slow.
- The new mechanics were kind of clunky.
- And the whole vibe just wasn’t doing it for me.
I tried building a couple of different decks, hoping to find something that clicked. I experimented with the different colors, and mixed different strategies. But I just kept running into the same issues. Either my decks were too slow to keep up with other people, or they just didn’t have enough power to close out games. It was just frustrating, you know?
After a few more games online, I just gave up. I mean, I’m not a pro player or anything, but I like to win sometimes! And with this set, it just felt like an uphill battle the whole time.
My Conclusion
So yeah, in my totally casual, non-expert opinion, this Bloomburrow set is just not good. It’s not fun to play, the cards are weak, and the whole thing just feels like a miss. I’m sure some people will like it, but for me, it’s a hard pass. I’ll just stick to the older sets that I actually enjoy playing.
