Just ask Wizards of the Coast. So, despite my best attempts to temper this pack’s power level, there will be games where you blast out of the gate like lightning and ramp to some big absurd metal thing. In a way, Jumpstart is the best thing to happen to affinity… diluting it enough to be fun to play against. Don’t forget to count your artifact lands as artifacts, and make sure you’re always paying attention to which spells have the affinity keyword ability so you can cast them at the optimal time.\n\nThere is an abundance of synergy in this pack—artifacts galore, feeding both affinity and modular. You’ll find this pack plays well with other artifacts (of course), and the duo of mana-producing myr will support just about any high-mana value spell. Be wise with your spellbombs… you may need their battlefield presence to reduce the cost of Myr Enforcer or Somber Hoverguard more than you need their sacrifice effects.\n\nSource: "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://mtgjumpstarter.wordpress.com/portfolio/jumpstart-2004/"},"insert":"https://mtgjumpstarter.wordpress.com/portfolio/jumpstart-2004/"},{"insert":"\n"}]}
