The price of these decks is prorated such that you only purchase cards missing from your collection. For each copy of a card already in your collection that is contained in these decks, the total gem price is reduced at a scaling rate based on the rarity of the card.

You'll be able to see the cards in each deck, as well as which you already have in your collection, before you purchase.

[h3]COOL BLOOMBURROW CARDS AND STYLES[/h3]

When you enter the plane of Bloomburrow as an outsider, interesting changes occur, as Ral Zarek discovered in the Bloomburrow Magic Story. How might other familiar denizens of the Multiverse be affected if they found themselves on the plane? We offer some possible answers to this question with the Imagine: Courageous Critters cards that are also coming to MTG Arena!

You can add these Courageous Critters to your collection—there are 25 in all, plus one rebalanced card, and these include planeswalkers as well as popular and legendary creatures—by crafting them with wildcards.

Five fuzzy planeswalkers can also be had as sleeves through the new Bloomburrow Mastery Emporium!

Check out the Bloomburrow Mastery Details for a full list of what you'll find in the emporium.
