Bloomburrow Instant-Speed Tricks
This is a list of all the instant-speed tricks in Bloomburrow. Each color is sorted by converted mana cost.
- There are no creatures with Flash at Common. Each color except Red has one at Uncommon. (Blue technically has two, but Eddymurk Crab comes into play tapped when played during an opponent's turn and so cannot be used as a surprise blocker.) There are no instants that produce creature tokens for the player casting them.
- Each color has at least one playable instant-speed removal spell at Common that costs two to three mana (Sonar Strike in White, Dire Downdraft and Run Away Together in Blue, Savor and Nocturnal Hunger in Black, Take Out the Trash in Red, and Polliwallop in Green). Additionally, each color except Green has two such removal spells at Uncommon. Be aware of this when drafting and playing Auras and combat tricks.
- Special Guest cards are not included since they only occur in one out of 64 booster packs, and only one of the ten Special Guests in Bloomburrow can be played at instant speed (Swords to Plowshares).
