As Bloomburrow, Magic: The Gathering's latest expansion, approaches, it's the perfect time for MTG enthusiasts in the Philippines to stock up on animal support cards. Bloomburrow is Magic’s first all-animal Plane, featuring adorable critters instead of the usual human characters. Here are five key animal support cards you should add to your collection:

#5 | Swarmyard

Set: Time Spiral Remastered

Ability: Regenerate an Insect, Spider, Rat, or Squirrel

Why It’s Great: Swarmyard taps for colorless mana and can regenerate certain creature types for free, making it a valuable addition to Commander decks. With Rats and Squirrels getting more support in Bloomburrow, this card's value could rise.

#4 | Cadira, Caller Of The Small

Set: Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate

Ability: Creates Rabbit tokens when it deals combat damage to a player

Why It’s Great: Cadira, a 3/3 with Trample for three mana, generates Rabbit tokens, perfectly fitting Bloomburrow’s Rabbit theme. This card is affordable and a great investment for future Rabbit decks.

#3 | Liberated Livestock

Set: Wilds of Eldraine Commander

Ability: Creates Cat, Bird, and Ox tokens when it dies, with Aura attachment from the graveyard

Why It’s Great: This card provides multiple animal tokens and potential Aura reanimation, making it a strong animal support card. It offers good board presence and potential synergy with upcoming Bloomburrow creatures.

#2 | Volo, Guide To Monsters

Set: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms

Ability: Copies creatures of different types when they enter the battlefield

Why It’s Great: Volo encourages a diverse range of creature types, fitting well with Bloomburrow's variety. This legendary Human Wizard can be a Commander or part of the 99 in decks aiming to leverage multiple creature types.

#1 | Animal Sanctuary

Set: Core Set 2021

Ability: Adds +1/+1 counters to Birds, Cats, Dogs, Goats, Oxen, and Snakes

Why It’s Great: This land helps a wide range of creature types with its +1/+1 counter ability. It’s versatile and likely to gain more targets with Bloomburrow, making it a top choice for animal support.
