Inspired by https://pauperjumpstart.com/ I’d like to try and make a Jumpstart cube that recreates what it was like to play casual Magic in the very early days ie. they don’t have to be all the powerful cards.

Goals:

• Recreate the experience of playing casual magic in the early years. The kind of games you would have had at school with friends during lunch. ie. Non-tournament
• This is Old School 96. In addition to ABU, Arabian Nights, Antiquities, Legends, The Dark and Fallen Empires I'm going to include: Ice Age, Alliances and Mirage. However, I want the bulk of the cards to be be from Revised, I will only draw from the other sets were it helps the theme.
• Power 9 isn’t included. Most players wouldn’t have owned power nine back in the day.
• I'm not too worried about restricting the number or rares as I would rather get the balance between decks right. Some rares from ABU were really good, while others were really bad.
• It’s ok if some decks don’t fit well together, but am looking for synergies when possible.
• Mana fixing: In the list I've included Jumpstart lands in each pack, but what I've done IRL is just have a pack of Dual land proxies and let each person choose 1 for each pack.
• Multiple of the same card is allowed in order to try and balance power for some themes.
• I'm starting with 2 decks per colour as I'm very new to this and need to make a start somewhere and then look for feedback:) The end goal would be to get this to around an 18-20 pack set
