These reviews represent my initial reactions and thoughts about the cards from Magic: Foundations and Jumpstart 2025 for peasant cubes. These thoughts are mostly based on theory-crafting as I haven’t actually played with any of the new cards. My main method of reviewing a card is to identify a comparable card and to highlight the relative strengths/weaknesses of those cards versus one another and to theorize about play patterns.

I group the cards into five categories: Strong/Staples, Interest, Similar, Unique/Synergy, No Interest.

• Strong/Staples are going to be strong cards that I expect to see in power-maxed peasant lists.
• Interest cards are ones that I think are interesting and are powerful enough to fit in most peasant cubes.
• Similar cards are cards that are slight improvements over cards that have been or are on the edge of playable.
• Unique/Synergy is a bit of a catch-all for cards that either provide a unique or rare effect in a color or cards that would be interesting if you explicitly support a particular theme or archetype.
• No Interest are cards that are either worse than a comparable card that sees little play, cards that have a very low power level, or cards that have a niche effect that is unlikely to be desirable.

Not every card will be reviewed to the same length.
