Magic the Gathering Jumpstart Boosters

Jumpstartis a new way to playMagicthat mashes together themes from throughout the history of the game and lets you skip the deckbuilding part. If you can’t wait to have Pirates head into battle with Unicorns, smash two boosters together and ride on. If you absolutely must merge the greatest evils in the multiverse together, Cats and Phyrexian packs are waiting for you.

Jumpstarttakes the best parts of Limited and ConstructedMagicand fuses them into a dynamic, innovative play experience.

At its foundation,Jumpstartis simple. Grab two boosters, shuffle them together, and you’re ready to go. But a closer look reveals an intricate play experience unlike anything inMagic.

It works like this. EachJumpstartbooster includes 20 cards. All 20 cards fit a theme, and most themes have multiple variationsenough to make 121 possible 20-card lists inside any given pack.

Themes range from the familiar (“Garruk”) to the curious (“Doctor”), and two themes sometimes come together to form an unlikely mishmash (“Doctor Garruk”). If you’ve ever wanted to make a Cat Pirate deck well,meowis the time. There are even special “Mythic Rare” packs that don’t have variations at alljust the one card listbecause there is only one true Unicorn deck.

Jumpstartis different than anything we’ve done before, so here are some key things to know about this product releasing on July 17.
