Players are seemingly very excited about the upcoming release of Bloomburrow. With plenty of intriguing typal support and awesome Courageous Critters to collect, this set should be a blast.
When it comes to power level, though, this set is obviously a huge step down from MH3. On the surface, it also looks a bit tamer in comparison to some incredibly strong premier sets of late, like The Lost Caverns of Ixalan and Outlaws of Thunder Junction. Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean there aren’t elite and expensive cards to get your hands on.
With this in mind, we thought it was important to go over the most expensive cards in Bloomburrow thus far. Things have shaken up quite a bit from prerelease. There are a few major surprises in terms of what is actually expensive at the moment. We’ll be focusing on the cheapest variant of each MTG card released in Bloomburrow when making this list. Notably, Curious Critters will be omitted while making this list, but new Commander cards are fair game.
Let’s take a look!
Honorable Mention | Bria, Riptide Rogue: $17.50
- Mana Value: 2UR
- Rarity: Mythic Rare
- Stats: 3/3
- Text: Prowess (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn). Other creatures you control have prowess (If a creature has multiple instances of prowess, each triggers separately). Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, target creature you control can’t be blocked this turn.
Bria, Riptide Rogue is in an interesting spot that makes it difficult to rank. Technically, this Otter is among the most expensive cards in Bloomburrow, sitting at roughly $32. It’s also clear that Bria has garnered a lot of attention from Commander enthusiasts.
The thing is, Bria is only available in the Bloomburrow Starter Kits. These kits come equipped with two 60-card decks for people to play right out of the package. One deck contains a copy of Bria, while the other features Byrke, Long Ear of the Law. Both of these cards are only available in foil. So, while Bria is rather pricy, we felt it was only fair to provide the card with its own section given the circumstances.

#5 | Lumra, Bellow of the Woods: $10
- Mana Value: 4GG
- Rarity: Mythic Rare
- Stats: */*
- Text: Vigilance, reach. Lumra, Bellow of the Wood’s power and toughness are each equal to the number of lands you control. When Lumra enters, mill four cards. Then return all land card from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
This legend has a very potent effect on the game if you manage to build around it. At minimum, when Lumra enters the battlefield, you’re likely to get at least a couple lands into play from your graveyard after milling four cards. However, what makes Lumra so appealing is that you don’t just get to put the lands that you mill into play. Instead, you get those lands and all the ones already in your graveyard.
We’ve seen similar cards like Aftermath Analyst shine in Standard alongside lands such as Brokers Hideout that naturally go to the graveyard. Of course, Lumra is less efficient, and this land cycle from Streets of New Capenna is rotating out of Standard. That being said, Lumra gets the added bonus of being a legend that players can build around in EDH, which is a big deal. Getting a huge ramp boost out of Lumra is trivial, and you even get an enormous threat out of the deal. Lumra sits at about $10.

#4 | Pollywog Prodigy $14
Pollywog Prodigy is a Commander-legal Bloomburrow card that is going for a little under $14 at the moment. Equipped with Evolve, it’s easy to turn Pollywog Prodigy into a massive card advantage engine. Just get one Evolve trigger off, and cast a ton of cantrips to draw even more cards. You can find Pollywog Prodigy in the Family Matters MTG Bloomburrow Commander precon.
#3 | Maha, Its Feathers Night: $14
- Mana Value: 3BB
- Rarity: Mythic Rare
- Stats: 6/5
- Text: Flying, trample. Ward- Discard a card. Creatures your opponents control have base toughness 1.
Maha is another awesome legend with a very scary ability to face down. Getting to shrink the toughness of all opposing creatures to one makes combat a nightmare for the opponent. All of your mediocre 1/1s now trade for even the burliest of threats. If you throw in cards like Toxic Deluge, you can easily wipe away all opposing creatures in one go.
Maha is one of the strongest cards in the whole set for Commander, Limited, and beyond. It holds a price tag of roughly $14 at the moment.

#2 | Innkeeper’s Talent: $19
- Mana Value: 1G
- Rarity: Rare
- Card Type: Enchantment – Class
- Card Text: At the beginning of combat on your turn, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control. (G) Level 2: Permanents you control with counters on them have ward (1). (3G) Level 3: If you would put one or more counters on a permanent opr player, put twice that many of each of those kinds of counters on that permanent or player instead.
Innkeeper’s Talent has exploded in price since players realized just how potent this enchantment truly is. For two mana, you get access to the effects of Luminarch Aspirant, a powerful creature that just rotated out of the Standard format. For just one extra mana, you even get to grant all of your creatures with counters Ward 1. Considering that you’re likely trying to beat your opponent down, this can be surprisingly costly.
Finally, the last mode of this card has some similarities to Commander all-star Doubling Season, which means that Commander players are going to be all over this. This, notably, will double the number of Loyalty Counters your Planeswalkers enter with. This creates a death combo with Vraska, Betrayal’s Sting, that will end your opponent on the spot.
#1 | Three Tree City: $23
- Rarity: Rare
- Card Type: Land
- Text: As Three Tree City enters, choose a creature type. Tap: add colorless. 2, tap: Choose a color, Add an amount of mana of that color equal to the number of creatures you control of the chosen type.
Coming in at number one by a pretty decent margin, we have Three Tree City. This strange Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx variant looks like a slam dunk inclusion for typal Commander decks. Decks built around legends like Chatterfang, Squirrel General that flood the board with a specific type of creature token are excellent homes for Three Tree City. The ceiling on this card is truly outrageous.
Interestingly, Three Tree City is the only card on this list that isn’t mythic rare. That goes to show just how much hype this card received during spoiler season. Three Tree City is currently worth about $23, making it the most expensive Bloomburrow card.
