Getting a Jump Start! (On custom themes for Jumpstart)

Liwg

Welcome to Getting a Jump Start! This discussion will mostly be a combination of making crazy Jumpstart themes using actual cards from Gatherer and whatever can be created via MTG Cardsmith (Decks don't have to include both, can also only include cards from either if preferred). Alright, so for those who don't know the layout of a Jumpstart pack, it goes as follows:

1. Pick one color

2. 7 creatures

3. 4 Non-creatures  

4. A fixing artifact or land

5. Your favorite basic land

6. Include only one rare, but as many commons and uncommons

Now keep in mind that these are only guidelines to build one and don't have to be completely followed. For example, if your theme heavily leans on a higher curve or runs a bunch of "lands matter" cards, then running 9 land instead of 7 or 8 would probably better suit the theme. 

Anyways, I'll go first with mine to get started.

@Liwg Ooh, this seems nice. I've got some cards I made for one lying around from a little while ago, so I'll fit those into the context of a Jumpstart packet in a moment. I'd like to recommend that people making stuff for this put hyperlinks to the cards (at the very least the ones on Cardsmith, and also the real ones if they can be bothered) in their things for ease of understanding and access by others.

Yes indeed. I might try and do this too. Could we just make everything custom cards?

ChoyBoi

I might try as well.

@shadow123. Like I mentioned above, if you only want to use cards from MTG Cardsmith, go for it! ? I just wanted to include both real and user created cards for interesting themes/easier construction.

Also, @MemoryHead, I love the theme you went with! Level Up is one of my favorite mechanics!! Nice touch on the art card, really hits it home with the theme! ?
