Okay so a little surprise of two jumpstart packs from Max McCall interview with 4gamer for Foundation also 4 new cards
Oh also revealed the face walkers for the Foundation set
W Ajani U Kaito B Liliana R Chandra G Vivien
(He said the blue walker isn't Jace because of being to Complex in the series also to pick heroes)
Anyway lets Start with the new cards
new Cards in cat deck
they are all pretty basic cards the flavor text from the first one instataniously reminds me of “lion king”
and the second one might be pretty hype it’s a cat version of Spirited Companion and it’s from Amonkhet for a bonus.
And a Vampire pack with one new card
Ladies and Gentlemen we got another copy of Blood Artist.
Ok now for what’s in the packs (some are Japanese so a will tag the cards for English)
also I want to remind you'll notice the enchantments in these have the starfield border (found on Enchantment creatures) well Foundations going forward every single enchantment will have this border
These two Jumpstart-style half-decks are part of the Foundation Beginner Box. Basically you play Cats vs Vampires for 5 turns, following a booklet given with the box that walks you through the game. Once that's done, you two get a random Foundation Jumpstart pack and shuffle it in.
Looking at these from a "will be in standard for 5 years" perspective. Helpful Hunter, Vengful Blooditch and Moment of Craving are the only possibly relevant cards and they're all not very unusual effects and I wouldn't expect to see a ton of them. Moment of Craving used to get played, but with Go for the Throat and Virtue of Persistence in standard, this may not be the time for it to shine again.
Edit: Forgot Elspeth's Smite. Obviously, that gets played now, but again, not a meta breaker.

But now I wanna see the good stuff for EDH!
Spirited Companion is NOT an EDH staple by any means so I don't see Helpful Hunter becoming one either.
