Landfall

The Landfall front card was produced as part of the Jumpstart 2022 expansion for Magic: The Gathering, a set designed to facilitate quick, repeatable play experiences by pairing two distinct themed decks together. This card serves as the thematic identifier for the 'Landfall' deck, a mechanical archetype rooted in the Zendikar setting that rewards players for playing lands. Its inclusion reflects Wizards of the Coast's ongoing strategy of using vibrant, anime-inspired aesthetics to differentiate the Jumpstart product line from standard booster sets.

The visual design for the Jumpstart 2022 front cards was curated to bridge the gap between traditional fantasy art and modern illustrative styles, frequently collaborating with artists popular within the digital art community to provide a unique identity for each theme. The Landfall illustration focuses on the connection between a character and the untamed terrain, reinforcing the mechanical synergy of the deck it represents. Upon release, the set was received as a successful entry point for newer players, with the artistic direction of the front cards being noted for their distinct departure from the core set's established visual tone.
