From the Dragons and Treasure units

Magic: The Gathering‘s Jumpstart 2022 line is about to debut on December 2, and can as soon as once more inject playing cards each previous and new into the gametype. As a reminder, Jumpstart is a product meant actually jumpstart fast video games, by smashing up a number of thematic boosters: Angels and Canine, Rogues and Pirates, that type of factor.

It’s obtainable each in paper Magic and Area, and though it isn’t one thing I’m always taking part in, it’s a pleasant factor to return again to, and have units prepared for. With out additional ado, onto the cardboard previews!

New playing cards/playing cards with new artwork from the Dragons set:

• Dragon Mage
• Plundering Predator

So these are an fascinating duo, particularly given how common dragon tribal is in lots of circles of Magic. Dragon Mage is very costed, however might make for some fascinating performs, particularly in some wild jank mill decks. Plundering Predator can be extremely costed for its impact: however maybe with enter the battlefield/blink results, you can do some enjoyable issues with it.

Notice that Dragon Mage already exists, however the artwork is new.

Reprints from the Dragons set:

• Bogardan Dragonheart
• Dragon Egg
• Dragon Fodder
• Dragonlord’s Servant
• Dragonspeaker Shaman
• Furnace Whelp
• Kargan Dragonrider
• Lathliss, Dragon Queen
• Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker
• Sarkhan’s Rage
• Sarkhan’s Whelp
• Scorching Dragonfire
• Sparktongue Dragon
• Tormenting Voice
• Dragon’s Hoard
• Thriving Bluff

So there’s lots of acquainted faces right here, particularly in the previous couple of years. Sarkhan being a part of the dragon set was predicable, and I’m positive some people could not like that stage of predictability: however he additionally opens up some choices for constructing out dragon-based Soar Begin decks.

New playing cards/playing cards with new artwork from the Treasures set:

• Dutiful Replicator
• Rapacious Dragon

In a far wackier transfer, the Treasures set has some decrease costed fare. Dutiful Replicator is fascinating, and given the sheer quantity of token play on this set, it’ll synergize immediately. Rapacious Dragon has the nice quaint two treasure token impact, so it will probably create some fast worth to offset its price.

Rapacious Dragon exists already, however the artwork is new.

Reprints from the Treasures set:

• Barrage Ogre
• Massive Rating
• Blaze
• Blood Aspirant
• Brazen Freebooter
• Captain Lannery Storm
• Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge
• Goldhound
• Goldspan Dragon
• Improvised Weaponry
• Kuldotha Flamefiend
• Skilled Face-Breaker
• Pyre-Sledge Arsonist
• Reckless Fireweaver
• Ripscale Predator
• Sokenzan Smelter
• Sudden Breakthrough
• Trove of Temptation
• Vault Robber
• Welding Sparks
• Gleaming Barrier
• Goldvein Decide

But once more we’ve got a mixture of previous and largely semi-new/new playing cards, and the Treasure set does largely what it says on the tin. Count on a lot of tokens and literal treasure play, amid a lot of huge pink injury. Goldspan Dragon stands out like a sore thumb, and fortunate is the one who cracks not less than certainly one of them in a Soar Begin sport.
