I also made my own jumpstart packs, but I went at it from a limited perspective. I bought a 1000 card bulk box and created booster repacks with cards from mixed sets (1 rare 3 uncommons and 11 common). Then with the sealed pool from 9 packs I challenged myself to make 4,5 or more jumpstart style packs. I call this style of battlebox jankstart ^^. It’s pretty fun! Both making and playing it.
I opened a jumpstart booster box as my bday gift. Got 2 vampires, 2 angels, 2 well read, & 2 dinosaurs (but none of the dupes were completely identical and 1 of the 2 had higher value cards). There were about $220 worth of good cards in it. Tempted to buy another box because I love this product!
I REALLY enjoyed playing jumpstart. It's a fun way to pick up casual games and the boosters can have some real value to them! I'm glad you got good value in yours. What was your favourite card from the box?
That is an amazing idea! I've been super busy so I haven't been able to make any new videos for a while but this might be a new series idea for me! Thanks so much!
@@MTGForgeChannel What I like about the Jumpstart deckbuilding is that fun comes first. Before play, if you are going to allocate deck halves randomly, you don't want to play against a too strong deck. You want to play against a deck which is fun. So when deckbuilding, you don't construct to win, which different from the usual deckbuilding. Also you don't need to buy all the expensive rares and mythics to get the spirit of the set, but you can have the specific rules like foretell, cycling, boast etc. With Set Jumpstart you can play this isolated or with other jumpstart decks. So for Kaldheim I want a Giant deck, Shapeshifter deck (tricky!), elf deck, spirit deck etc. I will put these decks in an appropriate bundle box. As I have recently bought a Jumpstart boosterbox, I will check on power level (I need to play with them to get the feeling) as this will be a level I want to play.
@@MTGForgeChannel finally got back to taking a 2nd look at that part of the video so I could look those up. Thinking I'll get some so my son and I can reuse the packs we have.
Im also doing some homebrew Jumpstarts. Although im increasing the power level a bit instead of trying to keep it on par with the actual Jumpstart packs. What im missing now is some custom face cards. Any idea if there is a face card generator out there?
They are good. But they don't help your total land count. Ive been using rupture spires and the jumpstart land. I have a 2 rare limit in my packs, sometimes I use rare lands. My Shrine's pack has a city of brass XD cuz its multicolor.
I generally pay attention to what cards were in each theme and then sort them out, example well-read generally has like 2 artifact creatures, then of course the color

Where do you get 1000 card bulk?
Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to make a j/s cube for playing with. Great for new players and seasoned vets. Great homemade theme decks too!
Thanks for your input! Did you make any of your own?
@@MTGForgeChannel just one theme deck so far, I made a humans deck and it plays pretty well. I need the thriving lands to make more tho
Please check out r/mtgJumpStart on Reddit for more info and custom decks! Love to see you there.

@@MTGForgeChannel Exquisite Blood has been a favorite since it can become an infinite combo ;)
@@jessicaf7236 That is a pretty sweet combo and also easy to pull off. I'm glad you got so much value out of the box!
i build my own jumpstart decks, but allways with 8 lands in each pack
Thanks mate! Did you make any new boosters with the release of jumpstart 2022?
Have you made any new Jumpstart decks? I'm planning to build a few every set to grab the set's vibe (as a kind of playable magic museum :) ).
That is an amazing idea! I've been super busy so I haven't been able to make any new videos for a while but this might be a new series idea for me! Thanks so much!

SomeDude I actually used the art cards from Modern Horizons. If you use a dymo labeller, you can make it look quite nice.
I was thinking to use printed tokens made on mtgsmith. Like the art card idea, especially with set boosters coming in the Zendikar set.
@@chadoneil4453 For sure I thought of using an online card maker but I wanted to have an actual card. Either way works though and could look amazing!
Pay someone who makes proxies. They are good at it. It's who I use. Someone off etsy.
@@ReadySetPainter That's a great idea! Thanks!
Why not add an Evolving Wild to each deck? To act as the Thriving lands from Jumpstart.
This is an excellent idea!! I went to the LGS and bought 10 of 'em the next day! Thanks for the suggestion!

Might take the plunge and add a prismatic vista / fabled passage instead 🤣🤣🤣
Once you create your jumpstart deck and everything is shuffled together how do you sort your cards in order to repack them after the game is over?
I generally pay attention to what cards were in each theme and then sort them out, example well-read generally has like 2 artifact creatures, then of course the color
I have a list of the cards printed out and then each player can reassemble their packs
@@MTGForgeChannel That's exactly what I do as well. Keep a digital list on my phone.
I sleeve my decks and mark the sleeve with a different number for each deck
