[[Jumpstart]] is a replication, in MtGPQ, of sealed deck tourneys in paper MtG. It is, so far, also the only means of obtaining cards from the Jump/Start set
Players combine two halves of a deck from a choice of five [[#Planeswalkers|PlaneswalkersPlaneswalker]]s' packs and fifteen [[#Themes|Theme packs]]. Choosing a color node chooses a Planeswalker and adds their pack to the player's deck. Three choices of packs are then offered to to the player, randomly chosen from the fifteen theme packs.
The packs are named, and a pack of a given name always has the same contents; players can plan their strategy before choosing between the three packs.
When the player gets 5/5 duplicates, another reward pack is chosen randomly.
All packs except for [[#Spirits|Spirits]] have at least one [[Jump/Start]] card; the [[#Planeswalkers|Planeswalkers packs]] always include one Land card from the [[Jump/Start]] set. Therefore, the event must usually be run twice before getting 5 out of 5 duplicate cards; players choosing Spirits, who owned all five of its cards already, (including a Mythic [[Shadows over Innistrad]] card) would receive a random pack their first time playing.
If the duplicate pack is a Planeswalker pack, another PW pack is randomly chosen; if the duplicate is a Theme pack, a theme pack.
