==Miscellaneous==
*All of Mabel’s companions have alliterated epithets.
*Hugs is depicted as a European badger on his regular card, but as an American badger on the borderless alternate art. Although similar in appearance, the two species are not closely related.
*The art of is an homage to the classic artwork for the Tarot card "The Fool".
*<c>Three Tree Rootweaver</c> is the only common creature without a themed type.
*<c>Repel Calamity</c> refers to <c>Valorous Stance</c> in art, mana cost, rarity, and the second of its modal effects.
*<c>Rolling Hamsphere</c> refers to <c>Myr Battlesphere</c> in type, mana cost, power and toughness, damage ability and token making ability.
*<c>Murmuration</c> effectively casts <c>Crow Storm</c> every end step.
*<c>Swarmyard Massacre</c> couples the same four creature types that <c>Swarmyard</c> does.
* is the first card from an Un-set to be reprinted in a regular set. This was made possible because the card was already Eternal in Unfinity.
*Bloomburrow's release on August 2nd is the earliest set released to cause Standard Rotation by more than a month: while rotation-starter releases have been trending earlier, going from mid-October to the last week of September to the second week of September, Bloomburrow jumps back a full five weeks from the previous year's Wilds of Eldraine on September 8th.
*Design considers Bloomburrow to be a bottom-up set deign.
*As each card in the Duo cycle represents two color pairs from the set's typal themes, each sharing a color, they effectively represent a three-color combination. For example, is a rabbit () and a mouse (), combining to represent (Naya). Almost all the Duo cards, when looked at in this way, form Shards; However, the two black cards instead form Wedges, with one color allied to the shared color and the other the enemy color of both. is (Sultai) while is (Mardu). Incidentally, this also means that Esper and Jund are the only shards to be represented once instead of twice in the cycle.
*Turtles were considered for the typal archetype but lost out to Frogs.
