Bloomburrow Removal List

This is a list of all the removal in Bloomburrow, divided into permanent creature removal, temporary creature removal (such as bounce, tap, and falter effects), non-creature removal, and off-battlefield removal (hand, stack, and graveyard).

• Thornplate Intimidator, Starseer Mentor, and Rottenmouth Viper are not listed as removal because your opponent can choose to lose life instead.
• Parting Gust isn't listed as temporary removal because the Gift cost is small enough that it is likely to always be used as permanent removal when targeting an opponent's creature.
• Special Guest cards are not included since they only occur in one out of 64 booster packs, and only two of the ten Special Guests in Bloomburrow serve as removal (Swords to Plowshares and Sword of Fire and Ice).
• I'm not listing Planeswalker removal because there's only one Planeswalker in the set, and it is a Mythic Rare.

Bloomburrow has good, cheap removal available, including at instant speed as mentioned in my article on the instant-speed tricks in the format. Be wary of playing Auras and combat tricks when your opponent has even two mana open.

At Common, White and Black both have cheap, unconditional removal and Green has multiple cheap creature-based removal spells. All three colors have additional options at Uncommon, so every color combination except Blue/Red has access to cheap removal that can take out larger creatures; don't load up on fatties, especially since few of them have Ward/Hexproof. Given that Bloomburrow is a set about small animals, it makes sense thematically that the removal in the set would encourage playing armies of small creature rather than a few giant ones. There are only a handful of mass removal spells in the set, of which only Mindwhisker and Wildfire Howl are not Rare or Mythic, and Mindwhisker doesn't punish opponents for overextending, so you can swarm the board without fear (as in most Limited formats).

Also, don't expect your artifacts and enchantments to survive against White or Green, since Nettle Guard, Banishing Light, Pawpatch Formation, and Hivespine Wolverine are all playable maindeck.
