Card Set Info

Outlaws of Thunder Junction (OTJ) contains 81 commons, 100 uncommons, 60 rares, and 20 mythic rares. In addition, OTJ contains 5 basic lands, each with 3 unique variations. OTJ also has 54 art cards.

Each Outlaws of Thunder Junction booster also contains a Breaking News card (OTP). The Breaking News cards are all reprints. You can play Breaking News cards in the formats where they're already legal as well as OTJ Sealed and Draft. (Every Breaking News card satisfies the committing a crime mechanic, which is handy when playing with many Outlaws of Thunder Junction cards.) There are 65 Breaking News cards: 20 uncommons, 30 rares, and 15 mythic rares. Each Play Booster contains a Breaking News card.

Outlaws of Thunder Junction boosters can also contain cards from The Big Score (BIG). Oko came to Thunder Junction to rob the vault, a magical vault floating in the sky, and you'll share in the spoils. The Big Score consists of cards from the vault. There are 30 mythic rares in The Big Score, and you'll be able to find them on The List for Outlaws of Thunder Junction.

You'll find cards from The List more frequently in Outlaws of Thunder Junction Play Boosters than in Murders at Karlov Manor Play Boosters. You can find a card from The List in 1 out of 5 Play Boosters. The List for OTJ has 40 cards: 30 cards from The Big Score and 10 Special Guests cards (SPG). Special Guests cards are reprints with new art reimagined in the style of Thunder Junction, often featuring extremely snazzy hats. You'll find a non-foil Special Guests card in 1 out of 64 Play Boosters. Traditional foil Special Guests cards can be found in Collector Boosters.

Outlaws of Thunder Junction Booster Fun

Western Landscape Basic Lands

There are 5 Western landscape basic lands showing off the plane of Thunder Junction:

Each Collector Booster contains a traditional foil Western landscape land. You can also open the Western landscape basic lands in Play Boosters. You can find a Western landscape basic land in 1 out of 6 Play Boosters; 1 in 5 of the Western landscape basic lands you open in Play Boosters will be traditional foil.

Wanted Posters

Oko's crew is wanted on Thunder Junction, as you can see from the wanted poster treatment:

There are a total of 13 cards wanted in association with Oko: 5 rares and 8 mythic rares. Each can be found in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters in both traditional foil and non-foil. As you might expect, Oko's one of the folks who is wanted, but Oko's poster is twice as scarce as the other wanted poster mythic rares. This is because there's another Booster Fun version of Oko—a borderless version—and in general, our heuristic is to maintain the relative ratios of "Booster Fun versions of Oko" with "Booster Fun versions of other mythic rares." This means that if a card has multiple Booster Fun treatments, you're less likely to open any particular version, but you're just as likely to open a Booster Fun version of Oko as any other card overall.

Borderless Cards

Speaking of borderless cards, Outlaws of Thunder Junction has 7 borderless cards: 5 rares and 2 mythic rares. Borderless cards can be opened in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters in both traditional foil and non-foil. As mentioned above, the borderless Oko is twice as scarce as the other borderless mythic rares. Four additional borderless cards can be found in the Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander set (OTC). The 10 Special Guests cards from Outlaws of Thunder Junction make up the additional borderless cards. These Special Guests cards can be found in non-foil in Play Boosters and traditional foil in Collector Boosters.

Breaking News

As mentioned above, each Outlaws of Thunder Junction Play Booster contains a Breaking News card. There are 65 Breaking News cards: 20 uncommons, 30 rares, and 15 mythic rares. You can open them in Play Boosters in both traditional foil and non-foil. Each Outlaws of Thunder Junction Collector Booster also contains at least three Breaking News cards—see below for details.

Textured Foils

There are also textured foil versions of each of the 15 mythic rare Breaking News cards. You may recall the textured foil treatment from Double Masters 2022 and Commander Masters—it adds a unique flair to foils to make them extra-blingy. Outlaws of Thunder Junction's textured foils are exclusive to Collector Boosters.

Extended-Art Cards

Extended art is also a treatment unique to Collector Boosters. There are 61 extended-art cards in OTJ: 50 rares and 11 mythic rares. The 30 mythic rares in The Big Score have extended-art versions as well. There are 36 additional extended-art cards from Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander (OTC): 32 rares and 4 mythic rares. These cards can be found in Collector Boosters.

Vault Frame and Raised Foil

The 30 mythic rares from The Big Score also have a special Booster Fun treatment: the vault frame treatment.

This treatment is exclusive to Collector Boosters, where it can be found in both traditional foil and non-foil. Of the vault frame cards, 5 also appear in raised foil with a special elevated golden stamp embedded in the frame to commemorate the shiniest loot from Oko's heist. Raised foils are also exclusive to Collector Boosters.

Commander Decks

Each Commander deck comes with a ready-to-play 100-card deck, including 2 traditional foil legendary creature cards that can serve as the deck's commander. Each deck contains a total of 10 new-to-Magic cards.

With Outlaws of Thunder Junction, we're moving away from the foil-etched display commanders that we've included in Commander decks in the past. We want to include special versions of each deck's commanders, but player feedback shows that folks would rather have regular-sized cards that match the rest of their decks.

So, each of the "face" legends of these Commander decks is a traditional foil borderless card. These traditional foil versions of the "face" cards can only be found in Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander decks and the Collector Booster Sample Packs. Non-foil versions can also be found in Collector Boosters.

Each Commander deck also contains the following:

• 1 Outlaws of Thunder Junction Collector Booster Sample Pack with the following:
  • 1 Traditional foil uncommon Breaking News card
  • 1 Traditional foil or non-foil rare or mythic rare wanted poster variant, Breaking News card, extended-art variant, or borderless variant
• 10 Double-sided tokens
• 1 Deck box
• 1 Life wheel
• 1 Strategy insert

Bundles

Each Bundle contains the following:

• 9 Outlaws of Thunder Junction Play Boosters
• 1 Traditional foil promo with Bundle-exclusive alternate art
• 15 Traditional foil basic lands (including five Western landscape basic lands)
• 15 Non-foil basic lands (including five Western landscape basic lands)
• 1 Oversized spindown life counter
