'''''Jumpstart: Historic Horizons''''' is an ''[[MTG Arena]]''-exclusive card set released on August 26, 2021. Similar to the original 2020 ''[[Jumpstart]]'' release, it melds an easy way of [[deckbuilding]] with the speed of [[constructed]]. The release was two weeks delayed from the original announced release date (August 12), due to a major overhaul of the ''MTG Arena'' backend systems.<ref>{{DailyRef|news/release-changes-jumpstart-historic-horizons-and-mtg-arena-updates-2021-08-09|Release Changes for Jumpstart: Historic Horizons and MTG Arena Updates|[[Jay Parker]]|August 9, 2021}}</ref>

=== Jumpstart events ===
Like with the original ''Jumpstart'' release on MTG Arena, you select from themed packets to build a deck for play. There are 46 different [[half deck]]s. ''Jumpstart: Historic Horizons'' introduces a new dynamic to packet picking and deckbuilding: select card slots in each packet have a chance to be filled with alternate cards that fit the packet theme. This means more card possibilities in each pack, and more variety for your decks every time you play.
 
  +
Like the original ''[[Jumpstart]]'' release on ''MTG Arena'', players are intended to select two of 46 different themed [[half deck]] packets which combine to create a deck for play. Instead of being completely preselected, some card slots in ''Jumpstart: Historic Horizons'' packets have a chance to be filled with alternate cards that fit the packet theme. The numerous possibilities per pack create more variety each time the format is played, but require players to pick the same pack more than once if they wish to collect all its cards without [[crafting]].
   
[[Basic land]]s aren't included in the packet lists. When you play in ''Jumpstart: Historic Horizon'' events, you'll automatically receive a mix of basic lands based on the packets you choose, balanced for the costs and activated abilities on the spells in your packets. You'll also receive nonbasic lands for play. Packets you choose will add [[cycling land]]s from ''Historic Anthology 2'' or multicolor life-gain [[tapland]]s from ''[[Core Set 2020]]'' of the appropriate colors to your deck — cycling lands for packets with one color and dual lands for packets with multiple colors.

* '''[[Seek]]''' is a digital twist on a [[tutor]] effect. Certain cards will allow you to seek a card with specific criteria, [[random]]ly pulling one from your [[library]] that meets that criteria without [[shuffling]] afterward – something that couldn’t happen at the tabletop without a player manually looking through their deck.

Certain cards will allow you to seek a card with specific criteria, [[random]]ly pulling one from your [[library]] that meets that criteria without [[shuffling]] afterward – something that couldn’t happen at the tabletop without a player manually looking through their deck.
* '''[[Perpetually]]''' modifies a specific card [[permanent]]ly, even as it enters other [[zone]]s of play. For example, <c>Davriel’s Withering</c> perpetually gives a creature -1/-2 – if that card reduces a creature to 0 [[toughness]] or less and sends it to the graveyard, for example, the debuff will remain in effect even if a player is able to bring it back to battlefield (causing it to immediately die again). Alternatively, <c>Lumbering Lightshield</c> can perpetually increase the [[casting cost]] of a card in your opponent’s hand by one colorless mana – the affected card then maintains that increase whether it’s cast from hand or somewhere else, like from the [[graveyard]] with [[Flashback]] or from [[exile]] with [[Foretell]]. While this is an effect that can more reasonably be tracked with paper cards, it becomes substantially simpler in a digital space.

Alternatively, <c>Lumbering Lightshield</c> can perpetually increase the [[casting cost]] of a card in your opponent’s hand by one colorless mana – the affected card then maintains that increase whether it’s cast from hand or somewhere else, like from the [[graveyard]] with [[Flashback]] or from [[exile]] with [[Foretell]]. While this is an effect that can more reasonably be tracked with paper cards, it becomes substantially simpler in a digital space.
* '''[[Conjure]]''' creates a card for you to use out of nowhere – not a [[token]] or a [[copy]], but an actual card that can sit in your hand until you are ready to use it. This can include cards that aren’t otherwise in a set or format, like <c>Ponder</c>, <c>Stormfront Pegasus</c>, or the original [[dual land]]s (none of which are collectible in ''Historic Horizons'' on their own).

''Historic Horizons'' utilizes its digital-only nature beyond these three recurring mechanics as well, making it possible to print cards with rules that wouldn’t fit in a paper frame. That includes the planeswalker <c>Davriel, Soul Broker</c>, who has an otherwise cryptic {{loyalty|-2}} ability: “Accept one of Davriel’s offers, then accept one of Davriel’s conditions.” In practice, this has you pick one of three randomly selected positive effects from [[Davriel Cane/Davriel's Contracts|a possible list of eight before doing the same for a negative effect]].

Jumpstart: Historic Horizons is an MTG Arena-exclusive card set released on August 26, 2021. Similar to the original 2020 Jumpstart release, it melds an easy way of deckbuilding with the speed of constructed. The release was two weeks delayed from the original announced release date (August 12), due to a major overhaul of the MTG Arena backend systems.[2]

Description[ | ]

Jumpstart: Historic Horizons contains 787 cards (398 commons, 286 uncommons, 85 rares, 13 mythic rares, 5 basic lands) from Modern Horizons, Modern Horizons 2, and more. Of these, 372 were new to Arena (180 commons, 123 uncommons, 56 rares, 13 mythic rares), and therefore were introduced to its Historic format by this set, including 31 designed-for-digital cards brand new to Magic.[3][4] These were the first collectible Arena-exclusive cards,[a] and the first with digital-only mechanics, a feature continued by the subsequent Alchemy series of sets.

Jumpstart events[ | ]

Like the original Jumpstart release on MTG Arena, players are intended to select two of 46 different themed half deck packets which combine to create a deck for play. Instead of being completely preselected, some card slots in Jumpstart: Historic Horizons packets have a chance to be filled with alternate cards that fit the packet theme. The numerous possibilities per pack create more variety each time the format is played, but require players to pick the same pack more than once if they wish to collect all its cards without crafting.

Basic lands aren't included in the packet lists. Jumpstart: Historic Horizon events automatically provide a mix of basic lands based on the packets chosen, balanced for the costs and activated abilities on their cards. Players also receive nonbasic lands for play, either cycling lands from Historic Anthology 2 for single-color packets, or multicolor life-gain taplands from Core Set 2020 for packets with multiple colors.

Mechanics[ | ]

The exclusive cards include three new mechanics with “digital-only” designs that cannot be replicated in paper Magic.[5]

  • Seek is a digital twist on a tutor effect. Certain cards will allow you to seek a card with specific criteria, randomly pulling one from your library that meets that criteria without shuffling afterward – something that couldn’t happen at the tabletop without a player manually looking through their deck.
  • Perpetually modifies a specific card permanently, even as it enters other zones of play. For example, Davriel’s Withering perpetually gives a creature -1/-2 – if that card reduces a creature to 0 toughness or less and sends it to the graveyard, for example, the debuff will remain in effect even if a player is able to bring it back to battlefield (causing it to immediately die again). Alternatively, Lumbering Lightshield can perpetually increase the casting cost of a card in your opponent’s hand by one colorless mana – the affected card then maintains that increase whether it’s cast from hand or somewhere else, like from the graveyard with Flashback or from exile with Foretell. While this is an effect that can more reasonably be tracked with paper cards, it becomes substantially simpler in a digital space.
  • Conjure creates a card for you to use out of nowhere – not a token or a copy, but an actual card that can sit in your hand until you are ready to use it. This can include cards that aren’t otherwise in a set or format, like Ponder, Stormfront Pegasus, or the original dual lands (none of which are collectible in Historic Horizons on their own).

Historic Horizons utilizes its digital-only nature beyond these three recurring mechanics as well, making it possible to print cards with rules that wouldn’t fit in a paper frame. That includes the planeswalker Davriel, Soul Broker, who has an otherwise cryptic Loyalty symbol down-2 ability: “Accept one of Davriel’s offers, then accept one of Davriel’s conditions.” In practice, this has you pick one of three randomly selected positive effects from a possible list of eight before doing the same for a negative effect.
