Jumpstart 2022 is a supplemental Magic booster set with mostly reprints and some new cards. It was released on December 2, 2022.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Set details

Jumpstart 2022 is the follow-up to the first Jumpstart. It features a new Booster Fun card treatment, a new-to-Magic card in every pack, and dozens of themes to mix and match, with plenty of reprints.^[5] The set contains 768 reprints, and 51 new cards that are designed to help fill out some of the themes.

The set is compatible with Set Jumpstart releases, meaning that the half decks can be played with set-specific Jumpstart Boosters from Dominaria United or The Brothers' War and beyond.^[6]

Marketing

Jumpstart 2022 is sold in 20-card Jumpstart Boosters, with 24 boosters per booster box and in 2-Pack Boosters. Each booster contains a face card (the "Pack Summary card") that indicates the pack's theme and color. The 20 cards include one new designed card and a Booster Fun card in anime style.^[5]^[7]

The contents of each pack fit one of 46 randomly-chosen themes, with each theme having a "rarity" of common, rare, or mythic rare. Common and rare themes have multiple variations of their pack contents; in total, there are 121 possible pack contents. All boosters contain at least one rare, and one in three boosters includes an extra rare. Within each pack, seven or eight of the 20 cards are lands and the rest are spells.

Themes and mechanics

There are 46 themes that range from the familiar to the curious.^[5] Common themes are each represented four times in different variations among the 121 packs, rare themes twice, and mythic themes are represented only once. The rarity of a given pack should not be taken as an indication of power level; but rather how replayable the theme is. The variant decklists of a given theme always have the same general flavor, mana curve, and game plan. In addition to the colorless Urza's, each color features 2 mythic themes, 3 rare themes, and 4 common themes.
