Well Jumpstart is a new thing that is really good for casual players. And more hardcore players too actually.

You get to pick a theme from 3 different options, and then pick one from 3 more options. Then you take the two you picked and shuffle them together into one 40 card deck to play. You get to keep all the cards, plus you get an extra rare for each of your first two wins. You can play with that deck as much as you want, and resign whenever you want to get a new deck with new cards.

Each time you resign and start over you can get 2 more random rares along with your new deck.

And each theme has a special basic land art that only exists for that theme. Like there is a Phyrexian theme that has a swamp that has the name and types written in Phyrexian.
And the dog theme has a plains with a nice flowery field and a dog laying in it.

It costs 2000 gold for each entry, which is pretty fair because it is the price of 2 packs worth of cards for the 2 different themes you pick, plus the 2 extra random rares.

I'm trying to do it until I collect all the special lands because I love using cool thematic lands that fit my deck.

The whole thing exists in paper magic too and is getting pretty successful. It is designed as a simpler and faster way to introduce people to a drafting style event that is easier to start and understand.
