Snow lands and creatures will return to Magic: The Gathering this year through the Jumpstart 2022 set, slated to release before the holidays.
Wizards of the Coast continues to expand upon Jumpstart in MTG, a supplementary set that contains new and reprinted cards. The Jumpstart sets are great for new and veteran players, offering 20 cards in each booster pack that when combined with a second random booster pack creates a deck for players to compete with. Lands come with each booster pack, and players typically pick two packs at random.
Scheduled to release on Dec. 2, Jumpstart 2022 will contain 46 themes and 121 variations, along with booster fun art and the return of all things Snow. One of the booster fun versions revealed today on the Weekly MTG stream was alternative manga art.
Also included in today’s Jumpstart 2022 spoilers were two themes from the upcoming set: Snow and Speedy.
