Here’s everything you need to know about Magic: The Gathering ‘Outlaws of Thunder Junction’ Set.


Magic: The Gathering ‘Outlaws of Thunder Junction’ Overview

OKO’S LEGENDARY GANG

Welcome to Thunder Junction, a lawless plane of brazen outlaws and warped morals. It all happened when the mysterious Omenpaths opened, leading villains from across the Multiverse to a new frontier of opportunity. The prize every gang ruthlessly seeks? The treasures of Maag Taranau (“The Vault”). With the wayfaring villain, Oko, rustling up his heist-crew featuring the Multiverse’s most wanted, it’s up to his son Kellan to either beat ‘em, or join ‘em.

THE TIME OF OUTLAWS!

Criminals run amok in Thunder Junction. So much so that creature types such as Rogues, Assassins, Pirates, Warlocks, or Mercenaries are collectively referred to as the batched term, ‘Outlaw’. But that’s not the only new mechanic for you to look out for, partner: the more devious-minded criminals will Plot, exiling a card face-up for its plot cost to cast on a later turn without paying its mana cost. For villains of a less subtle nature, Spree grants instants and sorceries several dastardly and chaotic effects that can be paid with an additional cost. Finally, an outlaw cannot ride into the sunset without their Mount. These can be activated by tapping any number of creatures a player controls with total power equal to or greater than the Mount creature’s Saddle value. They will be saddled until the end of the turn, triggering powerful additional abilities.

CRIME RUNS RAMPANT IN OMENPORT!
