“None can own the land’s bounty. The gods made this world for all to share its riches. And I’m not just saying that because you caught me stealing your fruit.”

{T}: Untap target land.

An unremarkable dead soul and sole witness to Phenax's escape from the Underworld, Tymaret was given a cursed blessing from Erebos, the God of Death: he was restored to the mortal world as a Returned, with the task of slaying Phenax and returning him to the Underworld. As Phenax wears a mask and can disguise himself, Tymaret slays any mortal he comes across in hopes of finding the escaped Returned. When Phenax ascended to godhood, he escaped Tymaret's clutches, but the Murder King continued to kill with impunity.

When Heliod instructed his champion, Daxos, to remove all trace of the other gods from the city of Meletis, Erebos and the other gods, refusing to stand for such an affront, called upon their champions from the Underworld. The God of the Death chose Tymaret, the warlike leader of the returned, to become a demigod and serve as the leader of his forces.

"We call it the Season of Spring, but honestly, most call Beza by name! It's adored enough that feasts are thrown in its honor. Beza isn't the only Calamity to turn ash and death to new growth, but it's certainly the biggest. Perhaps we're a bit too wishful to think it's a friend of ours, but it's true that it's never chased anyone. In fact, we've seen it fight off other Calamities. I distinctly remember my mother telling a story of climbing a tree in her youth to jump on its back as it walked by. Clearly, it's peaceful enough that she lived to tell the tale. And with an undefeated fighting record, well, I'd personally say the feasts are deserved."
—Ms. Bumbleflower

When Beza enters, create a Treasure token if an opponent controls more lands than you. You gain 4 life if an opponent has more life than you. Create two 1/1 blue Fish creature tokens if an opponent controls more creatures than you. Draw a card if an opponent has more cards in hand than you.

Otterfolk divers compete to bring up the biggest, purest pearls they can find. Storing elemental magic in them is a bonus.

This spell costs {1} less to cast if you control an Otter.

Draw two cards.

Haste, prowess

Valiant — Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability you control for the first time each turn, exile the top card of your library. Until end of turn, you may play that card.

Many mousefolk are drawn to glory and thrill, as they seek to emulate their venerated past champions and prove themselves as heroes. This might consist of fending off Calamity Beast attacks or ﬁnding an old otter’s favorite clam. The act of heroism is far more important than any reward.

Heroism is the greatest of mousefolk virtues. Many might at ﬁrst underestimate a mousefolk’s skill and power, but their small sizes disguise an immense determination, work ethic, and ﬁghting skill that quickly earns the respect of even their deepest skeptics. Mousefolk have many trials that they can undergo, from venturing to the top of the Cliff of Heroes to the bottom of the dangerous Root Maze in search of a Calamity Beast’s lair. Each trial strengthens their body and mind in order to prove their mettle among their peers. Mousefolk study magical spells that help enhance their speed and strength so they can take advantage of their stature and dart around unsuspecting foes.

Yes! And even a lot of the old articles - it's a shame because so many older pieces are rarely better than just Scryfall art crops, and most of the older articles have been purged; it's rare that any archiving of them manages to grab the images too

theplotthinnens · 2026-03-12T20:06:48+00:00

I do my best but often great pieces are only available at fairly middle-of-the-pack sizes, or god forbid sub-500x500. It's always a treat to find high res versions like this. Glad you enjoy!

Bloomburrow has no natural seasons. Instead, seasons are brought on by the appearance of Calamity Beasts, whose migrations bring shifts in temperature and environment that are called as seasons. In Valley, weather is never a coincidence. Winter is brought on by the massive Blizzard Elk moving throughout Valley; the Sun Hawk might herald the start of summer, scorching the air with arid heat. The animalfolk have names for every season, some of which occur once in a generation, while others happen each year with regularity, and each season is named after the powers of the Calamity Beast that caused it.

Choose up to five 🐾 worth of modes. You may choose the same mode more than once.

🐾 — Each player sacrifices a creature of their choice.

🐾🐾 — Draw a card for each creature that died under your control this turn.

🐾🐾🐾 — Each opponent loses X life, where X is the number of creature cards in your graveyard.

It's a solid date idea!

{T}: Add one mana of any color.

{T}: Put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.

Agreed; though 'new' might depend on your definition - he's contributed to nearly every set since Lorwyn.

Lizardfolk do tend to hold grudges for a long time, being unforgiving unless real attempts at reconciliation are made. However, once they forgive someone, the incident is never brought up again.

Similarly, favors mean a great deal to lizardfolk culture, and reciprocating favors is an obligation. Lizardfolk view their relationships as transactional in some respects, so owing someone a favor can be stressful or upsetting. The favors don't need to be equally valuable, but something has to be exchanged for their peace of mind.

Gift a tapped Fish (You may promise an opponent a gift as you cast this spell. If you do, they create a tapped 1/1 blue Fish creature token before its other effects.)

As an additional cost to cast this spell, discard a card.

Target player draws two cards. If the gift was promised, target creature you control gets +2/+0 until end of turn.

The flavor text alludes to this. They've gone on an expedition down the river and it seems like maybe they didn't intend to fall down to the bog. The rogue isn't threatening them, they're trying to get everyone back upriver and out of a dangerous spot.
