Episode 1: Calamity Comes to Valley | Bloomburrow Story

Helga stared at the midmorning sunlight glinting on the rippling surface of the water, its patterns and portents as inscrutable as its darker depths. Cattails and long grasses swayed above her, and a bright dragonfly chased a cloud of gnats. Warm muck and growing things scented the air, comforting her uneasy heart. The pencil she gripped seemed to move of its own accord as her other hand balanced her leaf-bound journal on her lap.

This story is written by Valerie Valdes, narrated by Harless Snyder.

This feels exactly like the old Redwall books I read when I was younger. Please give us more of this world! I can't wait to get to know it better. It even makes me hopeful in the sad "If only..." kind of way that they might bring back the old Plane Shift D&D Crossover pamphlets to adapt this for D&D, because I would absolutely play this.

[Yunas_Jet]

No way. Simultaneous audio story with the text release?!

Pinch me I must be dreaming ❤

[joshuajohnston]

Bloomburrow is my most hyped set since Neon Dynasty. I wish blocks would come back so we can spend a whole year exploring the world of Bloomburrow.

[Nokus]

Here's to hoping they do this for all of this story!

[antareklause]

I miss blocks. It's a shame that as soon as we're presented to this plane, we're already gone. Three sets would properly allow one to build decks more steeped in the flavor of a plane. As it stands, it'd be very unlikely that one could make very interesting or competitive decks using only/mostly cards from one plane.

This is awesome, Bloomburrow is singlehandedly getting me back into magic.

[polyommata]

do audio story simultaneous with the text release for every story please!

[marcellopozzessere]

I'm so happy you're releasing the audio story earlier!

[bahablastfreeze]

The background music during the attack was throwing me for a loop

[callumbyrne]

As a person with dyslexia I am so grateful for this

[DrekiBerserkr]

So after hearing this first chapter, this is probably my third favorite plane now.

1. Ixalan
2. Tarkir
3. Bloomburrow

[ivy-is]

im so happy that the story isn't as grimdark as its been its actually fun to listen to

[larissafracalossi]

(Card spoiler alert...?)

Otter Ral is really adorable, but I'm laughing hard at how mad he is at the whole situation hahah on another note, I'm so glad we finally get a pov from Ral after him being barely mentioned in both Karlov Manor and Thunder Junction :')

[bkyang]

This would've been the prefect set to make the story an animated short

[chiefsilverstacker]

I wish Mtg still made books on the lore and stories like they use to. The set would be amazing for a book trilogy.

[davidrojas]

My Vorthos heart is temporarily soothed by this, thank you guys.

[BaronVonChop]

The charming narration really matches the story! I'm absolutely loving it so far.

[RRactionTRS]

Love your presentations and channel, so I subbed it. Keep up the good work. It's really moving and there's a lot of heart in it. Thank you for the quality craftsmanship. ❤

[Worgalphihndor]

I would LOVE this from now on!! I could listen to the lore without having to try and read it online!!!!

[Bobbybillybillbob]

Neon Dynasty, New Capenna, Caverns of Ixalan, Bloomburrow AND LOTR! Loving the variety and uniqueness of these sets! Looking forward to an eventual return to Capenna, and very excited to see what Bloomburrow holds!
