Marvel Jumpstart Results
Have read kind of mixed information on the jumpstart boxes, so figured I’d throw in my results. Going into this box, I had opened two boxes and a few extra packs. Overall, I was missing three mythics (Doom, Runaways, Scarlet) and three commons (Iron Man, Rampaging, Speedy). Never pulled a duplicate from the same box, but have amassed a good amount of dupes at this point.
Opened this box all at once. As before, no duplicates. Ended up with 3 Mythics (none I was missing), 8 Rares, and 13 commons, including two of the three I was missing. Have separate plans for the Wakanda, Atlantis, and FF dupes, and everything else is going into the box.
Overall, the jumpstarts have been a decent experience. The kids and I have played some fun rounds, and I think Jumpstart is a great way to introduce Magic to new players. We’ve also made some decent 60 card decks out of some of the packs with minimal tweaks. I’m planning to arrange the no duplicates into a cube setup with (possibly) the beginner box packs and some kind of dice roll mechanism.
I probably won’t pick up any more packs unless I have expiring store credit or something, though may look into buying (unlikely) or trading (more likely) for the packs I’m missing.
