Saddle Up with Magic: The Gathering’s Outlaws of Thunder Junction!

Magic: The Gathering is taking players on a wild ride with Outlaws of Thunder Junction, an expansion that brings a Western-themed, action-packed twist to the MTG universe. Dive into a world where outlaws, gunslingers, and bandits rule, and where the thrill of the frontier is brought to life with new mechanics, striking visuals, and characters with plenty of grit.

Release Date and Theme

Set for release on 19th of April 2024, Outlaws of Thunder Junction transports players to a Magic universe inspired by the Wild West. With a setting that combines elements of classic Westerns with MTG’s strategic depth, this expansion introduces legendary outlaws, lawmen, and frontier-inspired spells to spice up your decks and gameplay.

 

Key Highlights and Mechanics

This set captures the spirit of the Wild West with bold mechanics and unforgettable characters, offering plenty of variety and new strategies for players. Here’s what makes this set a standout:

  • Outlaws: Certain cards reference "outlaws," defined as permanents with one or more of the following creature types: Assassin, Mercenary, Pirate, Rogue, and Warlock. This classification influences various card interactions and strategies.

  • Committing a Crime: This mechanic involves cards that represent criminal activities, adding thematic depth and new strategic options. Specific details on how this mechanic functions are explored in the set's mechanics article.

  • Spree: A new keyword ability that allows players to pay additional costs to choose one or more modes on a spell, offering flexibility and strategic depth during gameplay.

  • Saddle: This mechanic introduces a new way to interact with creatures, enhancing the Western theme by allowing players to "saddle" their creatures, potentially granting them new abilities or effects.
