Foundations Jumpstart Display EV

Estimate the expected value (EV) of Foundations Jumpstart Booster displays using daily generated TCGplayer, Mana Pool, and Cardmarket price snapshots. Foundations includes a broad mix of new-player staples, classic reprints, and anime-style cards spread across themed 20-card Jumpstart boosters, and this calculator mirrors Wizards of the Coast’s published theme lists so you can evaluate both pack and display value before buying.

A sealed Jumpstart display contains 24 themed boosters. Each booster has 20 cards from one theme, including a themed face card plus an anime spotlight card slot, so your display opening is modeled as 24 independent theme draws before any optional Sift filtering is applied.

Set theme: Foundations Jumpstart is themed around color-identity mini-decks and mash-up gameplay, where each booster represents a focused archetype you can combine with a second theme for instant play.

Pack contents follow Wizards' "Foundations Jumpstart Booster Themes" article. Each booster contains 20 cards from a single theme (including at least one new-to-Magic anime card), and the one-land-short Too Many and Beasts (1) lists are normalized with a matching basic land before any cards are drawn. Sift is applied after the cards are drawn in the simulation.

Pack Structure

Each Foundations Jumpstart Display EV is modeled with 20 game-card slots.

Theme Deck Cards11.9256 expected / pack
Pool: 742 modeled card outcomes.Theme Deck Cards: 11.9256 expected / pack.
Lands8.0744 expected / pack
Pool: 26 modeled card outcomes.Lands: 8.0744 expected / pack.

Future EV calculations should draw all 20 fixed cards from each selected Jumpstart Booster first, then apply any Sift or filtering logic after the draw.

Non-game inserts are not counted toward EV unless the model explicitly lists them.

Selling Fees

Per-row shows pct + txn (txn = 2.5%). $0.30/order is added only in the summary.

Value Threshold

Prices load from generated card-prices snapshots. TCG, Mana Pool, and Cardmarket choices use the same card rows; EV applies Sift only after each pack's contents are drawn.
Rows with Value ≥ Sift tint green. EV only uses Sift if toggled on, and it is applied after each pack’s cards are drawn.

Monte Carlo

Low/High = central quantiles measured from Monte Carlo pack openings.

Simulation Results (after Sift)

Confidence band: —
Each bar groups simulated display totals after cards are drawn, then Sift is applied to pack hits. X-axis = display value, Y-axis = number of simulations in that range.
