I have a bunch of the original jumpstart and sleeves up all the unique decks I had plus several duplicates. I make sure to mix up the sleeve colors, especially with the duplicates. The goal is to be able to slap any 2 together to play and easily separate after.

I like roling dice sometimes to decide which 2 each player gets to use. And I like choosing also to mix it up. I like seeing which decks become more powerful as two different decks synergize and also which ones paired with themselves do well.

It all feels like exploring the mechanics of magic in a repeatable lab or arena and learning new things. I haven't tried a 3 decks mashup but I'd imagine there may be too many lands and a rule coule be made to allow land editing/removal before play.

I have been storing them with 3x decks in each dragon shield box, which fit perfectly. And I'll often make a sleeve color sandwich like red, black, red by color so they're easily separated.

When selecting I set them all out in a grid on the table and number them for rolling or just pick.

How do you like to play Jumpstart? I'm looking for new ideas to enhance my game.

Also, do you mix decks from different sets too?

The problem is corporations and how they externalize accountability away from the actor or agent making the decisions.

The solution is to stop supporting corporations. Buying Starbucks and McDonalds is literally destroying the world, not just because their products suck due to always seeking to extract profit value while minimizing wages, but because the money funnels away from people and the community at the point of sale and the profit is exported from mainstreet communities into the stock market and billionaires' pockets, (since billionaires own ~ 65% of all stocks, and the richest 10% of Americans own 90% of all stocks) enriching the system of extraction, concentrating power, disempowering communities, making it easier to corrupt governments with big money, and making life harder and more desperate and frustrating for every other regular citizen just trying to live a good life and build a good community.

Any system can be corrupted by concentration of power, but capitalism in particular makes the goal of the economic function of citizenship into a monopoly game, preying upon their fellow citizen, follow survival of the fittest-to-be-predatory, and rewrite the rules once they have enough resources accumulated by buying politicians and laws.

Capitalism is a monopoly game, and it always ends the same way, economic slavery and servitude for the masses, with brainwashing education systems of apathy, following orders, and lies via stories of workers rights being decreed from charitable and caring leaders who are always good and never criminal. Rewrite history books, control information news channels, and silence dissenters. They sell the working class dreams of abundance that can only be acquired through "hard work" to keep the workers toiling away in their factories and in low wage jobs where wages never outpace inflation so they can pay workers less and less over time without ever changing their hourly dollar paid.
