Jumpstart: Historic Horizons Packet Lists

Jumpstart: Historic Horizons arrives August 12 exclusively on MTG Arena, and with it comes hundreds of cards from Modern Horizons, Modern Horizons 2, and more—including 31 new-to-Magic cards you'll only find in this digital release.

If you're familiar with the original Jumpstart release on MTG Arena, you know you select from themed packets to build a deck for play. Jumpstart: Historic Horizons ups the fun by introducing an exciting new dynamic to your packet picking and deckbuilding: now, select card slots in each packet have a chance to be filled with alternate cards that fit the packet theme. This means more card possibilities in each pack, and more variety for your decks every time you play.

For full details and event information, read What Is MTG Arena's Jumpstart: Historic Horizons?

We're previewing new cards in Jumpstart: Historic Horizons over the coming week, so if you want to be among the first to see what's in the set check out Where to Find Jumpstart: Historic Horizons Previews.

You can also see what's new to the set with our Jumpstart: Historic Horizons Card Image Gallery.

Below are the core packet lists in Jumpstart: Historic Horizons, and each is followed by a table showing the alternate card possibilities. Reading across each row, you’ll find the card names and their chance of appearing in that slot in the packet.

Where are the Basic Lands?

You'll notice that basic lands aren't included in the packet list. That's another feature MTG Arena adds to this release. When you play in Jumpstart: Historic Horizon events, you'll automatically receive a mix of basic lands based on the packets you choose, balanced for the costs and activated abilities on the spells in your packets.

Even better, you'll also receive nonbasic lands for play. Packets you choose will add cycling lands from Historic Anthology 2 (such as Secluded Steppe) or multicolor dual lands from Core Set 2020 (such as Dismal Backwater) of the appropriate colors to your deck—cycling lands for packets with one color and dual lands for packets with multiple colors.

If you haven't acquired these lands before, they'll also be added to your collection, and these nonbasic lands are considered before basic lands are determined for your deck.
