Now that the official previews for Core Set 2021 is over, Wizards of the Coast has jump-started the previews for the new Magic: The Gathering product called Jumpstart, and today the company revealed a new cycle of unique land cards that lets you choose a color when each of them enters the battlefield, and you can add one mana of the chosen color or the selected color of each specific land. The lands include Thriving Grove, Thriving Bluff, Thriving Isle, Thriving Heath, and Thriving Moor. They enter the battlefield tapped so it's no surprise that they're just Commons, but these new lands will be legal in Vintage, Legacy, and Commander. These cards are well-designed, and I'm surprised that they didn't release them in earlier sets.

Thriving Grove
Thriving Bluff

Thriving Moor
Key descriptions for Jumpstart:
> Each booster contains 20 cards centered on a theme. What theme each booster contains is randomized, but each themed 20 cards will be sealed inside the pack and labled.
> One in three boosters includes an extra rare.
> It's loaded with reprints—almost 500!
> Jumpstart introduces 37 new cards to the game. These will not be Standard-, Pioneer-, or Modern-legal cards. They are legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander.
> It's closely tied to Core Set 2021—they share a lot of content and release near one another—but Jumpstart is a stand-alone product.
> All cards are legal in Eternal formats (Legacy, Vintage, and Commander)
> Every pack includes one basic land with art that matches the pack's theme. A few of them use thematically appropriate lands from M21, but most of them use brand-new themed land art created for Jumpstart.
Core Set 2021 is set to release on July 3 with Prerelease events scheduled from June 26 to July 2. Jumpstart is set to launch on July 17.
