Description
Released in 2020, the Magic: The Gathering Jumpstart expansion redefined how players approach deck construction by providing pre-built, thematic decks designed for quick entry into the game. Within this set, Battlefield Promotion stands out as a versatile white instant that captures the aggressive yet defensive spirit of the Legion faction. Designed by Scott Murphy, this card carries the set code JMP and is identified as card number 91 in the Jumpstart collection. The card’s mechanics allow players to place a +1/+1 counter on a target creature, granting it first strike until the end of the turn. This effect ensures the creature deals damage before opponents can retaliate in combat, providing a tactical advantage in skirmishes. Additionally, the controller gains 2 life, which helps stabilize health totals during intense matches. The flavor text, "Welcome to the Legion. You saved a district—now let's go save the world," hints at the narrative scope of the Jumpstart experience. For collectors, this card represents a key component of the white-aligned strategies within the Jumpstart product line, appealing to those who appreciate efficient, low-cost interaction in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
