Journeymage of the Academy
Academy Journeymage is a practical addition to tempo and control blue decks in Foundations Jumpstart. The card's liftoff cost sits at {4}{U}, but the built in discount makes casting easier when you already run a Wizard. When Academy Journeymage enters the battlefield it bounces an opponent's creature back to its owner's hand, buying a turn and clearing blockers or a threatening attacker with minimal fuss.
Experienced pilots will slot Academy Journeymage into positions where single removal and evasive pressure matter. It plays well with cantrips and other Wizards that keep mana efficient and board states flexible. The 3/2 body survives some early skirmishes and contributes to board presence while the bounce effect shapes tempo. Add it to decks that want reliable interaction without committing hard answers.
