Hmm... I feel like the Landfall pack and the Flash Control packs are both a little... messy? You picked some really mediocre flash creatures for the Flash deck, for example, and the Landfall deck doesn't really feel coherent. I'll see if I can toss together some alternate versions tomorrow...

I feel like Skysnare Spider might be too much of a roadblock, honestly. What about good ol' Citanul Woodreaders?

I'd honestly swap Sylvan Primordial for Mold Shambler in the Ramp pack (and maybe swap out that Skysnare Spider for a Territorial Allosaurus).

It's always kinda funny to me when you end up using cards that I decided not to use (Grapple With The Past, in this case.) It looks solid, though.

Yeah, but that pack really wants creatures in the graveyard, so I thought I'd simplify thing (and go with the card that got sick new art).

I feel like there's space to be a little tribal in Jumpstart packs — you do want the packs to have a strong, cohesive theme, after all. I will admit that the Pirate pack is more of a goofy "everyone loves pirates" kinda thing. ... I'm a little amused that you swapped Flame Jab for Searing...

Alright, give me a sec to update the Burn list. EDIT: Updated it. Also, looking at your Heroic list, I see three creatures that use +1/+1 counters. Should I be using that list as an example if I want to make, say, a Green Stompy pack? In other words, 1-3 creatures that put counters on...

Yorion Jumpstart pack when? :p

EDIT: Wait, are these supposed to be standard 20-card Jumpstart packs, or the 25-card set-up you mentioned in the opening post? Your Heroic pack has 30 cards in it, and only 8 lands. I think that, given that you're playing with kids who don't have a lot of time (and who aren't very experienced...

Can we contribute some sweet packs? I might have some stuff in my favorite colors (Blue, Red, and Green) to share.

Ah yes, the "we didn't want to waste time refactoring legacy code, so we made some more" solution.

One card that I don't really have a place for personally, but which looks interesting: Hmm... Restoration Angel Mulldrifter

Alright, time to make myself seem like a crazy person: There's an additional category of "do nothing" card — let's call them "extra copy" cards: Snapcaster Mage Dual Strike Regrowth Galvanic Iteration The idea here is that, sometimes, there are cards that an individual deck wants extra...

My thought was less that you'd go "Rage Forger + Sage of Fables is a deck!", and more like... Gruul: There's the possibility of an aggressive +1/+1 deck in these colors, which wants Rage Forger. There are also some generically decent Shamans in the color pair, like Burning-Tree Emissary or...

To be honest, it's not that I think it's going to be broken or anything. I'm just imagining the reflexive screaming that'd start from Standard players as soon as they're spoiled. EDIT: Honestly, the biggest thing about them being in Standard is that they'd also be in Historic/Pioneer, meaning...

I just had a horrible realization. It's entirely possible that we'll see a reprint of the Urza lands in the Brothers' War set coming next year. Tron. In Standard.

The other nice thing about those "do nothing" cards is that they let decks get away with running fewer lands — some of them, like Land Grant, all but demand that you run fewer lands to get the best results possible. And, on top of that, they're usually power agnostic — because they "do...

That works too. :p

This looks cute. Damn it, WotC, I'm running out of space in the Capitalism Cube for sweet Treasure cards.

I feel like, if you're looking at a gold class that encourages a spell deck... Sorcerer Class --- If you're looking for an Azorius card that encourages spell decks, why not Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper? Play a control-y game until you can drop Noyan, then jank 'em out with a flood of 3/3 lands.
