Magic: The Gathering fans can rejoice as the alternate mode Jump-In within MTG Arena is back for Wilds of Eldraine.Â
Much like Jumpstart for tabletop, Jump-In is a rotating limited format that offers players two preconstructed decks. The mode removes deck building, which is a huge bonus for some players. Jump-In also shows off cards, themes, mechanics, and basic strategies for the most recent set, which on MTG Arena is Wilds of Eldraine (WOE) as of Sept. 5.Â
Each Jump-In MTG Arena packet contains 12 cards that thematically synergize with one another. Basic lands are included, along with nonbasic lands that can show up in packs. Players won’t find the best cards from WOE in Jump-In packs but they will experience the themes that tie into the Standard-legal set while adding cards to their collection.Â
