These front cards were designed to serve as the visual identity for specific Jumpstart booster packs, helping players identify the theme of their deck before opening it. In the context of the March of the Machine expansion, which featured a climactic battle across the multiverse, these packs were intended to facilitate quick, accessible gameplay by allowing players to combine two packs into a ready-to-play deck.

The art and design for the March of the Machine Jumpstart series were created to reflect the overarching aesthetic of the set, emphasizing the high-stakes conflict and the alliance of various factions. As a thematic marker, the Expendable card specifically points toward a strategy involving aggressive, replaceable creatures, aligning with the mechanics found within its corresponding pack. The set was received by the player community as an effective tool for both new and veteran players, balancing ease of play with the complexity of the larger set's narrative themes.
