Outlaws of Thunder Junction is the 100th expansion set for Magic: The Gathering and is not part of a block. It will be released on April 19, 2024.[1][2]
Setting
The new plane of Thunder Junction, and the set based around it, is an American Wild West-inspired frontier world. The plane contained no sapient life until the beginning of the Omenpath Arc. The set's story sees villains from across the Multiverse, who have traveled through Thunder Junction, fighting for a lost treasure. Oko, a fae plansewalker, has formed a gang with the Multiverse's most wanted (a.o. Tinybones, Vraska, Rakdos and Annie Flash) to pull off a heist of epic scale.
Gameplay
The set introduces a couple of new mechanics and new terms:[3]
- Spree is a new keyword ability that introduces modality. Spree cards have multiple modes. When casting such a spell, the player must choose one or more modes that should be activated. No single mode can be chosen more than once. Each mode has its own cost.
- Mounts and Saddle
- Plot
- Bounties
- Outlaw
- Committing a crime
