Set Prospective
Jumpstart 2022
This article is part of our community-sourced Set Prospective series. We survey Cube designers before the set’s official release to document their first impressions of new cards.
While Jumpstart 2022 didn’t make a big splash in the Magic community at large, or even among Cube designers, every new set expands the palette available to Cube designers. J22 is no exception. With a substantial 51 brand new cards, and staggering list of over 700 reprints, this little may yet have a lot to offer.
Like the original Jumpstart, the 2022 edition is comprised of thematically constructed “packets” built around themes ranging from the flavorful to the mechanical. New cards fill in gaps or offer powerful, clear build-arounds. For cubes that support any of the 46 unique themes, the set is likely to have some gems.
We surveyed the Cube design community and received 46 responses from Cube designers giving new cards from Jumpstart a try. Designers are testing a median of 3 cards, with one designer testing 16 new cards. Cards received an average rating just below 5.5 out of 10.
