You joke, but I have built both of those decks before. The Countryside Crusher one is surprisingly interesting, since you get one shot at comboing off before dying. It's more of a way to teach new players about the importance of running answers than an actual deck, though. My other favorite two...

Oh, sure, the gimmick was fun, but I would have preferred it if they had done something cute with the cards' mechanics.

@Morphling, why you mix up me and Onder? Are we really so similar to you? ;) In all seriousness, I think that Un sets serve a very important function — they let the card designers get junk-y designs out of their system, and simultaneously let them test out newer, wackier ideas. Like yeah, sure...

It's a 2/1 and a 3/2 for 2 with haste. Geist is a really solid creature.

I'm personally not a big fan of a black-bordered un-set, since I feel like that defeats the entire purpose (which is to let the design team get all of their wacky ideas on paper to test them/get them out of their system, in a set that's obviously "not canon"). I'm also surprised that you're...

Crap, I'll fix my decks tonight.

Wait, when did you add that rule? Has that always been there? Because I think I used more than 15 between the two decks...

Warped Devotion Fevered Visions Both as build-arounds in their own right, and as cute things to abuse with Equilibrium.

It looks like it doesn't know why it wants Wilderness Rec because ir's actually playing it as a fair card — the pack has it so that you can cast your sorcery-speed threats from your other pack without stopping you from playing your flash stuff on your opponent's turn. I agree that Wildborn is...

I blame the Mwonvuli pack on it being 2am when I scraped it together. The thing about the Flash Pack is that it feels like you did a quick brainstorm of vaguely control-y stuff that Blue can cast at instant speed and just plopped them into a pack. Like, why go with Burrog Befuddler and not...

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.
