I'm definitely guilty of deciding not to mulligan when I really should, but it's still a really important part of the game. This article is older, but great at explaining the why/when of mulligans.

Incoming Dominaria drafts, great. Not Traditional sadly, but human Premier is still better than drafting with bots. Great to get more chances to finish DAR collection.
Also, interesting tidbit from the JMP FAQ:
Will Jumsptart cards be craftable?
Yes—except for the basic lands. Those can only be earned through playing in the event at this time. All non-basic land cards can be crafted using Wildcards of the appropriate rarity.
Players will be able to craft Jumpstart cards for use in Constructed play after the event ends.


Note the last mention. Anyone who wants to play some certain JMP card in the Historic Arena open cannot craft it because the event is still actibe then - must get lucky with the themed deck pulls.

No, you'll be able to craft them starting tomorrow. That was a call out to the cards still being available to acquire after the event...

READY, SET, JUMPSTART

Jumpstart, Magic's easy-to-learn, wildly fun format, will be arriving tomorrow on MTG Arena! Are you ready to mix, match, and cause mayhem across the 46 different themes and 121 possible 20-card lists that include hundreds (literally hundreds) of cards that are available for the first time in MTG Arena?

Yes, of course you are!

Jumpstart was designed to provide fast, easy-to-learn, hilariously fun replayable Magic—and we're bringing the same experience to MTG Arena as you'll see in tabletop, from your Well-Read Dinosaurs to your Spooky Rainbows. And yes, we are enjoying finding some of the most absurd-sounding theme combinations when talking about this format, thank you for noticing.

Playing Jumpstart in MTG Arena is as simple as: Join. Pick. Play!

So I get that you can receive a wildcard.. But isn't that just the only exciting thing about opening packs? the chance that you get the card you need is so small, that there is 0 enjoyment in opening the packs? And wildcards are pretty boring.. just currency.

Well, not for me. I really enjoy turning over the rare, it's a fun moment. That said, I don't buy packs with gold, the packs I open come from the prerelease offer (the 50 packs bundle), the Mastery pass, and Limited event rewards.
I do agree that opening a wildcard feels disappointing. Which is really strange, as it is the best thing that you can open. But there it is, I'm waiting for some interesting rare or mythic, and this wildcard pops up. Go away, I already have a ton of your kind!
