Wizards of the Coast has very recently launched a brand new play experience in both paper and in Magic: The Gathering - Arena with the release of Jumpstart.

Jumpstart is a unique way to play Magic: The Gathering limited format as, instead of passing around booster packs as one would in a draft or cracking open a handful of boosters as one would in sealed, players crack open a pair of special 20-card boosters (lands included) and smash them together to form a one-to-two-color, 40-card deck.

Want to see it in action?

Magic Untapped tried our hand at a Jumpstart event in MTG Arena.  You can check it out in the video below.  Not to spoil anything, but probably it couldn't have gone any better.

Please support Magic Untapped by becoming a Patreon.  Even $1 per month helps.
