Provenance

Where it came from

Short Bow was released in 2024 as part of the Magic: The Gathering set Bloomburrow, a fantasy expansion defined by its charming, anthropomorphic woodland creature theme. As an uncommon equipment card, it reflects the set's focus on small-scale, rustic technology used by animals living in a miniature, danger-filled forest landscape.

The card features artwork by illustrator Zara Alfonso, who employed a soft, naturalistic style to suit the whimsical yet adventurous tone of the set. The design emphasizes the bow's utilitarian role for smaller creatures, aiming to ground the magical elements of the game within the specific, cozy, and pastoral aesthetic that defines the Bloomburrow world.
