MTG's Bloomburrow is set to release soon, featuring four preconstructed commander decks, including Squirreled Away. Led by Hazel of the Rootbloom, this deck mainly focuses on filling the board with squirrels. Hazel can become the ultimate mana dork depending on the amount of tokens on the battlefield. Each token she taps can generate mana of any color. Then she also generates tokens at every end step, giving her more tokens to tap for mana. To add the cherry on top, if she creates a squirrel token, she generates twice as many instead.
The question is, will Squirreled Away be a strong preconstructed commander deck in MTG? Here is the full deck reveal.
MTG Squirreled Away Commander Deck
MTG's Bloomburrow preconstructed commander decks will hit local game stores (LGS) on August 2, 2024. Each deck is expected to cost between $47 and $50, depending on the store.
For those interested in the Bloomburrow precons, here's all the essential information about the upcoming Squirreled Away deck.

She's a four-cost (two generic, one black, and one green) legendary creature with a tapped ability, Pay 2 life, Tap X untapped tokens you control: Add X mana in any combination of colors. Then at the beginning of your end step, create a token that’s a copy of target token you control. If that token is a Squirrel, instead create two tokens that are copies of it.
If it's possible, players interested in purchasing the Squirreled Away precon can run a squirrel tribal deck.
