The set's expansion symbol.
Foundations Jumpstart, a.k.a. Jumpstart 2025, is a supplemental Magic booster set with mostly reprints and some new cards. It will be released on November 15, 2024, concurrently with the Magic: The Gathering Foundations set.[2][3]
Set details[ | ]
Foundations Jumpstart is the follow-up to Jumpstart and Jumpstart 2022. The Jumpstart format mashes together themes from throughout the history of the game and lets you skip the deckbuilding part. To play a game of Jumpstart, players open two boosters and shuffle them together to form a ready-to-play deck. The set is designed for two-player gameplay, but players can also play multiplayer with it.
Foundations Jumpstart is a Commander-, Legacy-, and Vintage-legal sets, and individual cards are also legal where already available in other formats.[3]
Marketing[ | ]
Foundations Jumpstart is sold in 20-card Jumpstart Boosters, with 24 boosters per booster box. Each booster contains a face card (the "Pack Summary card", or "Theme insert") that indicates the pack's theme and color. The set is also sold in 2-Booster Packs.
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; there are TBA possible pack contents. All boosters contain at least one rare or mythic rare, and one in three boosters includes an extra rare. Within each pack, seven or eight of the pack's 20 cards are lands and the rest are spells. Every Foundations Jumpstart Booster contains one card with anime-inspired art.
Note that the packs and themes differ from the 10 Jumpstart packs that can be found in the Foundations Beginner Box.[3]
With Foundations Jumpstart the convention for Jumpstart set expansion codes was changed. The set is now coded after the year following the year that the product was released (J25), to keep it relevant longer.
