With Adventure in the Forgotten Realms release done and dusted, there’s now another preview season amongst us! Jumpstart: Historic Horizons is a dedicated MTG Arena-only set that hopes to change Historic in a huge way.

Despite there being 782 cards coming to Historic, the bulk of these cards will be pre-existing cards from sets such as Modern Horizons 1, Modern Horizons 2 and Core sets. With that, there will be 31 brand new cards that will be exclusive to Arena which is intended for the digital client only.
If you have played the original Jumpstart release on MTG Arena, you know to select from themed packets to build a deck to play. With Jumpstart: Historic Horizons, there’s the added dynamic to your packet by picking and deckbuilding: certain card slots in each packet have the chance to be filled with alternative cards that fit the packet theme. This means more card possibilities in each pack, and more variety for your decks every time you play.
