Core Set 2021 and Jumpstart will be released next month; Although these Magic: The Gathering products may experience delays in their shipment due to production issues caused by the global pandemic, there's a sweet bonus for those who will purchase the Buy-a-Box promo for Core Set 2021.
Today, Wizards of the Coast has released a statement regarding the delays of Magic: The Gathering products, including the Secret Lair: Ultimate Edition, Core Set 2021, and Jumpstart. The publisher also announced that each Buy-a-Box promo for Core Set 2021 comes with two Jumpstart booster packs to give fans a sample of this unique set.
Key descriptions for Jumpstart:
> Each booster contains 20 cards centered on a theme. What theme each booster contains is randomized, but each themed 20 cards will be sealed inside the pack and labled.
> One in three boosters includes an extra rare.
> It's loaded with reprints—almost 500!
> Jumpstart introduces 37 new cards to the game. These will not be Standard-, Pioneer-, or Modern-legal cards. They are legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander.
> It's closely tied to Core Set 2021—they share a lot of content and release near one another—but Jumpstart is a stand-alone product.
> All cards are legal in Eternal formats (Legacy, Vintage, and Commander)
> Every pack includes one basic land with art that matches the pack's theme. A few of them use thematically appropriate lands from M21, but most of them use brand-new themed land art created for Jumpstart.
