Hello planeswalkers! MTG can be a ruthless game, where all you want to do is crush your opponents with nasty combos or overwhelming force. I’m here today to bring some cuteness, group hug, and a slightly peculiar strategy. Let’s take a look at Ms. Bumbleflower and the kind of Commander deck it might lead.

How competitive can Ms. Bumbleflower actually be? Which strategies does this card execute well? And is this an effective or fun commander you should consider? Let’s find out!

The Deck

The deck focuses on some group hug effects that you ultimately benefit more from. The Bant () color identity lends itself well to card draw and benefiting from extra interactions with said card draw. With this deck, you can also gain benefits from opponents drawing cards, and even you can accelerate these effects by giving them card draw.

With no Game Changer cards, infinite combos, and minimal upgrades, this deck straddles the competitive level of Bracket 2 or 3. With some efficient, new cards, we’ll call it a low Bracket 3 Commander deck. This particular build isn’t meant to be a competitive Commander deck by any means.

The Commander: Ms. Bumbleflower

Described as graceful, gracious, and generous on MTGwiki, Ms. Bumbleflower owns an inn in Three Tree City. She is known for her “never-ending stew” and generally represents kindness and a respite from the crazy world of Bloomburrow. Even when not on the battlefield, the card should bring you joy from the command zone.

Ms. Bumbleflower leads this deck as a cheap Bant commander that turns casting spells into pumps, group hug, and card draw. This commander very much relies on triggering its abilities by casting spells, playing a bit slower with control, and using a ton of interactions to gain advantages.

Ms. Bumbleflower has the right cost and efficiency of interactions to be considered a good commander in the right build. It isn’t overpowered in any way, but provides an interesting and different strategy than many commanders.

Creatures

This deck has a relatively low number of creatures, but a wide range of utility from them. You have mana support from Faeburrow Elder, group hug from creatures like Gluntch, the Bestower and Kwain, Itinerant Meddler, and card draw payoffs like Chasm Skulker.

The highlights, are the creatures with wincons and with opponent-card-draw triggers. Triskaidekaphile and Twenty-Toed Toad provide wincons if you can just drag games out and draw a ton of cards. With all the opposing card draw interactions, creatures like Faerie Mastermind, Scrawling Crawler, and Tataru Taru are key to success.

Some other highlights for large bodies and +1/+1 counters are Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings, Body of Knowledge, and Nadir Kraken.

Planeswalkers

There are only two planeswalkers, but they provide solid support for the deck’s strategy. Tamiyo, Field Researcher has three loyalty abilities that can be used in multiple facets of this deck’s strategies. The +1 ability is great for card draw, the -2 adds some control, and the final ability can take your card advantage to new levels with free casting costs. Teferi, Temporal Pilgrim is another great addition that benefits from card draw and has a killer final ability if you can reach it.

Protection and Control

A key to this deck is to protect your creatures with +1/+1 counters and control/slow down the game. As protection for your most important creatures, this deck includes cards like Heroic Intervention and Perch Protection.

To slow down opponents and add extra layers of interaction, this deck uses several cards with the gift mechanic like Long River's Pull and Wear Down. Cards like Spore Frog and Promise of Loyalty add even more control while you gain card advantage and wait for your moments to strike.

Card Draw

This deck revolves around you and opponents drawing cards, with you taking even more advantage off the interactions the card draws cause. The biggest benefactor of this is Ms. Bumbleflower, unsurprisingly.

Outside of the commander, you use cards like Tempt with Bunnies and Wedding Ring to incentivize card draw.

You then take some serious advantage of that card draw with cards like Wizard Class, Gleaming Splendor, and Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse.

The Mana Base

The mana base is quite straightforward, but efficient for this mid-competitive deck. This deck uses a popular mana dork in Birds of Paradise, and a +1/+1 counter mana dork in Kami of Whispered Hopes that can really accelerate the curve. This deck also uses go-to mana rocks like Sol Ring and Fellwar Stone, and ramp sorceries like Farseek and Nature's Lore.

Treasure tokens from Gleaming Splendor, extra land plays with Rites of Flourishing, and group hug plays like Tempt with Discovery will also accelerate your mana.

The Strategy

The strategy breaks into three areas that intertwine in the deck’s interactions. The main goal is to give your opponents card draw and create interactions that way, pump your creatures with +1/+1 counters, and draw a ton of cards yourself (with a few wincons around card draw). This should create a slower control vibe that can make for sneaky victories.

Many players don’t want to stop a group hug deck because it benefits them while focusing on other opponents. That gives you space to develop your board, gain control with card draw and interaction, and use some tricky wincons to avoid directly engaging with opponents. Plus, who will want to attack a sweet face like Ms. Bumbleflower?

Combos and Interactions

I’ll highlight a few fun, efficient combos from this deck, but I have avoided most infinite combos or game-breaking interactions to keep it at a Bracket 3 power level.

With plenty of mana, you can turn repeatable card draw with Triskaidekaphile, creature token creation with Nadir Kraken, and mass pump with Guiding Hydra into a large and wide board presence.

There are a lot of intertwined pieces that key off of each other. For example, the combination of Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings, Wizard Class, and Psychosis Crawler can deal some significant damage, and those are mostly just three random effects.

Rule 0 Violations Check

I specifically designed this Bracket 2-3 Commander deck to be acceptable to everyone. There are no Game Changer cards, no turn-2 wincons, and no realiable infinite combos. This deck is made for longer games with many twists, turns, and strategic interactions.

Budget Options

I kept this deck reasonably low-priced, but there are exceptions, and I know some of you want to go even cheaper (usually me as well). Here are a few options to bring down the overall cost if desired.

You can get rid of some of the expensive creatures like Twenty-Toed Toad, Scrawling Crawler, and Loran of the Third Path, and replace them with Mr. Foxglove or Jolly Gerbils. This might bring the competitiveness down to a Bracket 2, but it’s also much cheaper.

For the other permanents, I’d replace Teferi, Temporal Pilgrim and On the Trail with cards like Tenuous Truce and Hoofprints of the Stag.

The spells can also add up, so replace the Perch Protection and Tempt with Bunnies with cards like Secret Rendezvous and Growth Spiral.

Other Builds

The number one other build for Ms. Bumbleflower is to lean into the +1/+1 counters much more. This deck can be great with more hydra creatures like Kalonian Hydra or Managorger Hydra, and counter accelerators like Hardened Scales, Innkeeper's Talent, and Dreamtide Whale. Don’t forget to include Simic Ascendancy for yet another wincon.

You could always develop more of a control build, too. A popular change to the most common decks I’ve seen is to include more cheap control spells, increment and evolve cards like Pensive Professor, and land-untapping cards like Seedborn Muse and Wilderness Reclamation.

If you want to up the ante and add some Game Changers, Smothering Tithe is a perfect fit for this deck. It slows down the game for opponents and turns all the extra draw you give them into an expensive burden or huge advantage for you. A tutor like Worldly Tutor, protection like Teferi's Protection, and counterspells like Force of Negation can all take this deck up in bracket strength.

Also, a combo like Wizard Class and a new addition of Pensive Professor can turn into infinite card draw pretty easily.
