The latest standard legal set for MTG, Outlaws of Thunder junction is the 100th set to release for the TCG, but also the first set to venture into the new Western themed plane centred around 'Thunder Junction'. The full range of items will return, including play booster, collector boosters, commander decks and bundles.
Set Mechanics
The new set brings brand new mechanics to the table, including 'crimes', 'plot', 'saddle' and 'spree':
A 'crime' is committed whenever an opponent or any of their cards (either on the battlefield, graveyard, library, exile or hand) are targeted
Cards with 'Plot' can be cast and exiled at a reduced cost, which allows them to be cast on a later turn
'Saddle' is a new keyword specific to the new mount creature type, which works similar to 'crew' on vehicles: tap creatures equal to more than the 'saddle' value to activate powerful effects. The key difference with mount creatures is that they can block and attack like normal creatures, unlike vehicles, which require them to be crewed before they are able to do so
'Spree' provides a variety of extra effects on spells, each as an additional cost upon casting. Choose as many or as little of these effects as you wish, just make sure you can afford them
Bonus Sheet
The bonus sheet are a set of magic cards that are added as supplementary cards to a set and are often valuable reprints or alternative art variants of cards. Outlaws of Thunder Junction contains 2 different bonus sheets: The Breaking News bonus sheet and The Vault bonus sheet, which both can be found in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.
Release Date
Outlaws Of Thunder Junction will officially release on 19th April 2024, but for officially registered Wizard Play Network (WPN) stores like Gathering Games, we can sell the new set 1 week early from 12th April 2024.
