Because creatures are for dorks.

Foundations Jumpstart mostly consists of re🅺prints, with about 700 cards in the set, and only 56 of them are new to Magic. Some reprints feature new art for the cards, w♔hile others are seeing their first proper reprint in the game.

10 Cr🐓♛imson Wisps

Hasty Cantrip

MTG Crimson Wisps card with the art in the background.

Crimson Wisps isn't the most exciting card. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:It simply gives a creature haste and turns it red while replacing itself in the hand since it draws you a card. While it appeared on The List, the reprint in Foundations Jum🥀pstart is the first proper reprint of the card since its debut in 2008's Shadowmoor set.

For being such a simple card, Crimson Wisps has a price of around $5 due to the low access to the card. Crimson Wisps is popular in spellslinger decks, as it acts as a one mana draw spꦿell (or cantrip) that can potentially let a creatu𝕴re attack the turn it enters the battlefield.

9 ♎ Giada, Font Of Hope 𓄧

Staple Of Angels

MTG Giada, Font of Hope Anime Art card with the art in the background.

Giada, Font of Hope is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the staple face of Angel decks in every format. Not only does it act as a mana dork for Angels, but the Angels will enter with more +1/+1 counters the more of them you have on the battlefield. Giada has vigilance as well, letting it attack before tapping to add mana to cast An𓄧gels.

Angels are one of the most popular and plentiful creature types in all of Magic, making Giada generallyꦺ have a slightly higher-than-average price tag. As such, the reprint in Foundations Jumpstart is welcome to make the card more accessible.

8 ♎ Youthful Valkyrie

Grow With Angels

MTG Youthful Valkyrie card with the art in the background.

Youthful Valkyrie appeared as an uncommon in 2021's Kaldheim set, and des✅pite its low rarity the card generally costs around $5. Youthful Valkyrie sees a much-welcomed reprint in Foundations Jumpstart (and in the main Foundations set) that will help bring the price down for those who want a copy.

Looking t𓃲o get what you want when you want it in Magic: The Gathering? These black tutors are the best options if you're rifling through your library.

Youthful Valkyrie slowly grows in stats whenever another An🔴gel enters the battlefield. Its statline makes it a solid blocker e꧟arly, and once you start flooding the battlefield with Angels, it becomes a formidable attacker as well, especially with other Angel support cards.

7 A💎deline, Resplendent Catha💦r

Attack And Make Creatures

MTG Adeline, Resplendent Cathar card with the art in the background.

A staple in many mono white decks across multiple formats, Adeline, Resplendent Cathar is one of the best three-drops you can play in a creature deck. Adeline is a base 1/4 with vigilance, butꦕ in decks that flood the battlefield, the stats can grow very quickly. You don't need to attack with Adeline for its effect💫 to trigger either, just with any creature.

Despite Adeline having seen a few reprints, including in a March of the Machine Commander deck, the card still has a price tag over $6. With the reprint in Foundations Jumpstart, more players will have a chance to get thei♓r hands on the card with a special anime art treatment.

6 Dark Confidജant

An Old Classic

MTG Dark Confidant card with the art in the background.

At one point, Dark Confidant was considered one of, if not the best black creature ever. While it certainly has competition for that title now, it is still a powerhouse of a card. It provides 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:easy card advantage at the cost of losing𝓰 life, a staple trait of black.

Dark Confidant has seen multiple reprints over the years, and the popularity of the card never quite wavered, leaving it with a price floating around $5 a🃏nd up depending on the printing. The Foundations Jumpstart versions sees new art for the card, giving collectors and players alike a new version of the card to obtain.

5 Lathliss, Dragon Queeꦛn

Dragons For Dragons

MTG Lathliss, Dragon Queen card with the art in the background.

Lathliss, Dragon Queen 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:is a staple in many Dragon decks as it turns any Dragon you play regardless of mana cost into a two for one, as it'll create a 5/5 Dragon as well. Lathliss can pump all your Dragons rather🌊 easily as well, making it easier to close out games since Dragons often win through combat.

Due to the overwhelming popularity of Dragons, Lathliss usually costs about $5, and has been the face of the Dragon themes found in all the previous main Jumpstart sets. It returns in Foun𒈔dations Jumpstart with new art for t꧙he first time (Secret Lair excluded).

4 Brimaz, King ♕Of Oreskos

Tons Of Cats

MTG Brimaz, King of Oreskos card with the art in the background.

Brimaz, King of Oreskos rewards you for attacking or blocking with it by creating 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:1/1 Cat Solider tokens with vigilance. It's good offensively, but❀ especially good defensively since the token Brimaz creates blocks the same creature Brimaz is blocking to deal extra damage to it. Brimaz is especially strong in token decks and with cards that care about creatures entering the battlefield.

The Foundations Jumpstart reprint is the first time Brimaz has been properly reprinted, having only appeared on The List and the original printing in 2014's Born of the Gods. The Foundations Jumpstart version features new a𒆙rt for the card as well.

3 🐼 🐈 Ancient Greenwarden

Lands, Lands, Lands

MTG Ancient Greenwarden card with the art in the background.

There arꩵe a ton of abilities and creatures with effects that will trigger when lands enter the battlefield. Ancient Greenwarden is a way to double up on those triggers. This effect alone would already be great, but the fact Ancient Greenwarden lets you also play lands from your graveyard while having solid stats makes it fantastic.

Ancient Greenwarden has only had a few printings, its original release in 2020's Zendikar Rising, and later in o ne of the Outlaws of Thunder Junctioꦬn Commander decks. As such, the Foundation Jumpstart reprint is very appreciated as a new 🦄way to get the card.

2 🐓 Vilis, Broker Of Blood ౠ

Turn Pain Into Cards

MTG Vilis, Broker of Blood card with the art in the background.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Vilis, Broker of Blood is one of the best ways to draw cards in black. Whenever life is lost, you draw that many cards. This includes when you take comꦉbat damage, so if you get hit for 15 damage with Vilis on the battlefield, you'll be drawing 15 cards. You can also pay one black mana to weaken a creature and getting you a minimum of two cards.

Vilis, Broker of Blood has 🎶had very few printings. Prior to Foundations Jumpstart, the only way to get iꦇt was in Core Set 2020 and in the Game Night: Free-for-All product.

1 Kodama꧅ Of The West Tree ꦰ

Modification Extraordinaire

MTG Kodama of the West Tree card with the art in the background.

Kodama of the West Tree is a phenomenal support card in any deck that utilize꧟s modified creatures, and with how broad modification is, includes many popular strategies and 🐻archetypes. Kodama helps you ramp by getting basic lands onto the battlefield and giving the modified creatures trample to make it easier for you to close out games.

Prior to Foundations Jumpstart, the only printing of Kodama of the West Tree was in 2022's Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, with F💮oundations Jumpstart being the first reprint of the card. It's a rather expensive card, so another way to obtain it is great and makes it a very welcomed reprint.
