I'm not necessarily protecting Wizards of the Coast by saying this, just a heads up. But they have said before that they want to make boxes that fits everyones wallets. Cheap boxes, mid boxes, and expensive boxes. They also finally have realised that selling $20 Commander decks for beginners was actually a good idea because they upgraded all their decks to $50 ones, no matter what was in them and that super backfired. What they need to remember is that the lower costed stuff needs to be FUN AND PLAYABLE. That has been their issue. And their top end stuff is overpriced as all hell. It's like they are fumbling blindly with this, no matter what feedback we give them. I hope 30th anniversary stings for them.

One thing to keep in mind when comparing the financial value to that of the original JumpStart, since the first set was underprinted at launch and really hard to find this made the prices of cards exclusive to jumpstart go ridiculously high. Once they started printing it again and made it widely available the prices went down a lot, and are now a lot closer to that of the new JumpStart 2022 cards.

Getting a box of JMP and J22 and keeping everything in resealable packs seems like a great way to keep playing Jumpstart. If there are more Jumpstart core sets in the future, and they're consistent in power level, it could be come an expanding collection of packs to draw from.

Getting back into it and thought about buying a box to get some fun quick decks built and maybe build up some bulk. It may be another year or two before I can really get my oldest kid into it, but figured them opening packs with me may get them more excited about it (I did buy one of those Pokemon Battle Arena boxes and play that from time to time, so some interest in card games is there). Thinking maybe grabbing the original now and maybe 2022 if needed down the line.

I disagree with the unique part. There's a surprisingly high number of repeat themes from the first Jumpstart and many of the cards in the new themes have the same rares or uncommoms that the first Jumpstart set had. This ultimately doesn't matter if the gameplay is different and fun, but I just thought it was important to note.

Also worth mentioning the box has 24 packs and not 18. Important when considering playing Jumpstart format since you actually have enough packs for 6 full games instead of 4 with 2 random leftover packs.

After the recent kerfuffle of questionable magic products, I was actually looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this! Now that I know this is a decent product, I think I'll get online, look at all the cards, and buy singles of what I like.

Easily one of my favorite product lines they've done! I don't even have any 60-card decks build anymore, it's all Commander or Jumpstart Chaos for me!

I got wrecked at the Jumpstart 2022 release event. Speedy Elves vs the World. First opponent had a two-creature repeatable removal setup both games, third opponent had two 6/6's and a 6/5 on board when I lost to him the second time. Second opponent was a draw after going 1-1-1 to time. I probably would've lost that match otherwise.

I am going to sleeve them up and keep them in their desired construction like Prof said for just a fun way to take a break from Commander and the like. And although I don't like the route WotC/Hasbro is going with releases and we should buy just singles, if you want to make sure they create these kinds of releases, vote with your wallet. I for one am actually excited like the Prof for things like this. ( Because of Prof, I have been building Wizard towers for each set to have a time machine like draft night at the table for nostalgia)

Thank you for the video! Your honest commentary on MTG products means that I can feel confident about buying this product. As I still consider myself a new player, especially around my other playgroup friends, the first generation of Jumpstart is how I was able to learn the basics of this great game.

I keep the themes together but replace the high value cards with proxies. Also, for the more rare themes, I buy the cards, including the theme card, on TCGPlayer and assemble them (along with proxies for the expensive cards). This way, I can get a complete set of all the themes for a reasonable price.

As a new player, I'm excited to see this product is actually getting a good review. The BRO jumpstart was a real disappointment from the get go and I was fearing that this one could go the same way potentially.

Prof, have you tested mixing packs of Jumpstart 2022 with Jumpstart 2020? I want to blend both sets into a half deck cube. I wonder if the power level between the sets is fairly balanced

Thanks for the video, I've been out of the loop for a while and this product really sounds amazing, I actually ordered a display together with a quiver box and sleeves to double sleeve it, as it seems like an excellent way to "just play a round" - having the quiver just in the car and cracking it open whenever.

Jumpstart has been great. Taught my daughter to play recently and she loves mixing and matching them.

I think I might built a jumpstart cube. I'm just so burned out on commander...

With Jumpstart Dominaria United and Brother's War, I was really worried the greatness product that got me and everyone who would listen to me into this game would be a one-time deal, ruined beyond recognition in future iterations. I'm very glad that didn't happen and that I can enjoy new themes and cards at christmas with my brothers!

I can't wait to add these to my first Jumpstart set that I've kept sleeved up separately!

I bought this box and my partner and I cracked open a few packs and we had a ball. I loved the instant game play aspect and how it changed each game with each combination. Also, my new Ashcoat has a new happy home in my Ink-eyes/Marrow-Gnawer rat deck.

When Jumpstart first released I decided to make a Jumpstart cube. And although I have skipped Jumpstart Dominaria and Jumpstart Brothers War I had always wanted more Jumpstart. Now that this has been released (well not quite here in New Zealand yet) I'll definitely be buying these to add to my cube.

Glad they didn't screw this one up. My only complaint about the original Jumpstart was how many duplicates of the common packs I got in the same variation in the same box. Even wound up with two of four mythic packs (across the two boxes I bought) that were the same, which was disappointing. Hopefully will get a little better distribution on the box I'll pick up to fill out my cube storage and replace some of those straight dupes.

We had a lot of fun together and the kids did very well learning, we got all the decks sleeves and deck boxes and we still play it here and there. Is it as fun as playing a round of Commander? No, but its still fun and the kids enjoy it and its helping them learn to play the game better and honestly the price for 5 decks was pretty convenient.

Great video on jumpstart and super helpful for the deep analysis. But I'm a bit disappointed at the jab at the anime styled art. I agree with diluting the ip of magic with crossovers and skins, but one of the things I like about mtg is it's willingness to embrace alternate art styles, especially for things like variants.

MAKE IT STOP. PLEASE. MAKE THE RELEASES STOP.

Secret lair alert 🤪

Jumpstart is such a great idea, I got a bunch of coworkers into Magic by bringing in a few packs. However, the original set has the dual advantages of no pringles but ALSO no weird anime cards, so I think I'm going to stick with that for my holiday gaming with my siblings.

I went to my LGS's Jumpstart 2022 event. We got 3 packs for $15 and had to choose 2 of 3 for our deck. It was, sincerely, among my best experiences with a limited-type format ever. The decks players had were strong and varied. I don't typically enjoy cracking packs for their own sake since I am painfully aware how few if any of those cards will ever be used to play MTG unless the packs were opened as part of a limited event. Jumpstart 2022 gave me the opposite feeling - cracking my prize packs was fun and exciting for its own sake.

It looks like a great, fun product. I've only been playing Commander so far, but I'm tempted to pick this up and play it with my local community (provided they're interested).

Really glad they didn't screw this up!

Jumpstart is probably still my favorite way to play Magic. It's so easy to just grab some packs and play, both with new and experienced players. And the number of combinations of themes alone is great to see back. (Also you can't hate the anime art treatment, since their is a sexy merfolk husbando!)

I feel like people would hate the anime art much less if it wasn’t following up on multiple Universes Beyond sets that kinda fuck with the visual style of the game. Personally, I like Universes beyond, but I wish they’d make the cards look just like normal Magic cards to keep the experience consistent.

Yeah I think all the new anime art just looks like really bad yu-gi-oh art so it’s not for me

Glad to see the prof happy about a new magic prosuct :)

Glad the set list is good and really appreciate all the powerful reprints. They also improved on 2021 by incorporating Planeswalkers into a theme because in 21, i know Basri or Garruk is a powerful theme but in 22 there are versions of a theme with or without a planeswalker or mythic, so even if your opponent is a jumpstart vet they can know your theme without it giving away the power level necessarily. I reuse my packs too! Even using a standard deckbox/storage method, u can just turn the first 'theme card' over to the standard mtg backside to make it a blind pick. I also made my first pack - Undead Knights (Black) - with some spares i have! I want to add more and agree 100% that wotc could leverage homebrew or suggested themes on Arena or via submissions for paper. I know building decks can be a big part of the enjoyment of MTG but it can also be a huge time/money hole and especially intimidating for new/casual players. I am a competent player (Mythic on arena, 4 years experience) but not a huge investor and feel this is a good answer to the pay ceiling that does exist with eternal formats and the meta boredom in Standard. By playing with 3 packs for each player (choose 2 of 3) or allowing players to keep or trade each of their current packs once per game, players can add a constructed and tactical element to the gameplay too. Players could even check the lists and choose their themes in advance for competitive? I don't see why you can't have a casual tournie where players preselect their best two or three themes based on their preference and synergies they find in the decklists? I think it's just a fun, easy and egalitarian format to play. Experienced vets i know are still happy to play a few games because it's unpredictable and their experience still comes in handy. I think it's a good experience to play with cards/decks which you don't know by heart and haven't laser focused towards the same repetitive win conditions. The cards aren't much of a financial investment but it's still cool to pull a mythic pack! Cracking packs is a big pull for paper and everyone still gets that little thrill (don't say gambling) of the unknown. Overall, well worth 100 for a box of 24 packs or just grabbing two boosters for a change of pace

I have had for the last year a jumpstart cube. Cubeamajigs packs with a bunch fo jumpstart packs in them. After lots of play I've tweek the power on the packs to make them a bit more equal in power across the board and even created a hand full of totaly original packs from scratch using the general jumpstart rarity template to introduce other themes not found in the original jumpstart

Would love if you shared the fruit of your labors with us! I've just trimmed down my Jumpstart cube to the top decks from the original in anticipation of adding some from J22. Would love to have them be a bit more evenly balanced and some new fun themes are always welcome.
