We’re getting to that point in the year. It’s time for another Jumpstart release! Jumpstart are packs of cards meant to be cracked and shuffled together to play right away, making them one of the best ways to jump into a game from nothing.
We’ve got a brand new release coming up soon, and there are plenty of details for you to keep track of. Today I’m summarizing all the crucial information for you under one roof.
Let’s jump in!

About the Set
Into the Story | Illustration by Jason Rainville
This iteration of Jumpstart follows closely in the footsteps of its predecessors. There are a variety of types of packs that can be opened and immediately combined together to form basic decks.
The whole idea with Jumpstart is that a new player with no previous collection can instantly get into the game with just a few packs and play a simple Constructed format. It avoids having to teach the game and how to Draft, offering an affordable and stress-free way to play outside of duel and starter decks.
Set Themes
Whereas most sets have 2-4 unique mechanics and abilities, Jumpstart 2022 will have 46 unique themes spread across various rarity levels and packs. The release contains everything from the familiar Tron and Snow themes with cards like Karn Liberated and Marit Lage's Slumber, as well as some newer themes and characters like Ashcoat of the Shadow Swarm and its rat tribal.
Overall, there’s a lot of stuff going on in this set. It’s impossible to nail down any few themes as the overall. Instead, look into the chaos and excitement that each pack has to offer. Don’t even get me started on all of the combinations you can make!
