A Jumpstart half-deck is 20 cards, right? So quantity card wise, we're building 80 cards total. Seems like the real challenge will be picking 4 themes.... I decided to go with Multicolor-pair themed decks in at least some capacity, since Jumpstart was primarily Monocolor. Multicolor decks represent a strategy fitting to their colors and generally possess more manafixing than their monocolor deck counterparts to smooth things out. WR Eccentricities  Theme: "Forbidden" designs, Boros Midrange Control, Potential for 3-ColorCreatures1x Arden Angel1x Shichifukujin Dragon1x Throat Wolf1x Lightning Colt1x Goblin Polka BandSpells1x Ashuza's Breath1x Evil Boros Charm1x Inzerva, Master of Insights1x Problematic Volcano1x Whammy Burn1x Transcantation1x Start // FireLands4x Aggressive Crag2x Mountain2x PlainsA Boros control package featuring a few big rare/unusual beaters from across Magic's history and a lot of creatures and cards that can fire at instant speed, effectively making it a Boros combat/burn take on a Simic Flash Control type deck. The deck is primarily aimed towards removing creatures and hobbling combat so that its big finishers can swing without fear, though it has some niche means of combating other threats, and is somewhat unique in that its hybrid mana inclusions reward you for splashing into  or  . UR Twin  Theme: Splinter Twin ComboCreatures1x Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker1x Pestermite1x Corridor Monitor1x Dualcaster Mage1x Simian Spirit GuideSpells1x Rite of Replication1x Cackling Counterpart1x Twinflame1x Sleight of Hand1x Opt1x Electrolyze1x Fire // IceLands4x Fiery Islet2x Mountain2x IslandOnce upon a time, two Magic cards created an infamous combo that has yet to escape the banlist... You can recreate this combo with a variety of creatures, but make sure your precious copying creatures don't get shot down too quickly... UG Superfriends  Theme: Planeswalker Ramp, ProliferateTBD The gang's all here. Play a variety of heroes from across Magic's greatest history and crush your opponent with sheer value! WB Rebels  Theme: Rebel Creature ToolboxTBD "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away..." Overthrow your opponent's tyrannical plots by pulling out the right piece of removal from your Rebel army. |

BTW, feel free to name one signature card for each of the four decks. I'll combine them into a gif for the poll
