Despite being a unique choice, Mr. Foxglove remains a valuable Commander option in Magic: The Gathering’s Bloomburrow set. This cunning Fox has the ability to replenish your hand and even summon Creatures at no cost with careful strategizing.
MTG seems to have struck gold with Bloomburrow, as both former fans and new players are captivated by this realm of forest fighters.
Bloomburrow’s Commander decks should strive to achieve the same level of success as the popular and highly-regarded Universes Beyond: Fallout Commander pre-constructed decks, effectively capitalizing on this opportunity.
Mr. Foxglove, Bloomburrow Bant Commander
Mr. Foxglove, an alt Commander from the Peace Offering pre-con deck, presents a possible alternative to Ms. Bumbleflower for the role of lead in the deck.
While Bumbleflower encourages players to adopt a strategic approach and dissuades opponents from attacking with cunning social tactics, Mr. Foxglove offers a slightly more assertive gameplan that stays true to the essence of this deck.
This card, possessing a Lifelink ability and a power/toughness of 3/5, can serve as a competent combat Commander and a valuable blocker. It can effectively face opponents’ powerful creatures and simultaneously increase your life points.
Despite being able to endure attacks from other Creatures, Mr Foxglove’s on-attack trigger forces you to attack other players frequently.
When Mr Foxglove attacks, its one-of-a-kind draw ability is triggered. You draw cards equal to the difference between the number of cards in the defending player’s hand and the number of cards in your own hand.
Despite this, Peace Offering’s social aspect remains strong as it encourages players to challenge opponents with the largest card advantage.
If you face an opponent with an incomplete hand, this ability can be used in a different way. In the event that you do not draw any cards when it activates, you have the option to place a Creature from your hand onto the battlefield for free.
Mr Foxglove’s potential as a niche Commander may come to fruition with the release of Bloomburrow on August 2. However, its draw ability and ability to bypass casting costs make it a card worth considering due to its unique nature.
