Wizards of the Coast included a total of 45 anime art cards within the Jumpstart 2022 set, showcasing a number of Magic: The Gathering cards with alternative art that are worth money on the secondary singles market.

In addition to the 45 anime art cards, there were another 25 that also showcased new art. Of the 45 Jumpstart anime art cards, several were worth around $20 for the global release of Jumpstart 2022, ranking higher than the regular reprints found in the set.
