Speaking of inspiration, have you listened to the Gold and Gunpowder podcast? (Youtube for sure but probably elsewhere)

Dave Edens

Ah, gotcha. Thought it was for pirate inspiration!

No I mean Bloomburrow. I have both now, but Bloomburrow is the set that got me back in too play with my wife.

Limithron

I... am 99% certain you mean Ixalan rather than Bloomburrow (which is basically Mausritter in card form)
