Oko Returns.
Sets (OTJ) Outlaws of Thunder Junction Previews

- Start date
So Oko is the first good Planeswalker we've had in a minute, but he wasn't the only card shown off today!
More borderless lands. Yay... They should consider either printing fewer of these or making them the only lands in the set, or else there will be:
I like this card. Very cool. Apparently "committing a Crime" is doing anything that targets an opponent or their stuff, including cards in their hand/graveyard, their permanents, their spells on the stack... This set literally makes interaction illegal!
Tinybones returns, cuter than ever! I like that he allows you to pickpocket cantrips from an opponent. Is this Ragavan 2.0?
This is Kellan's last set as the main character now that he found his dad (Oko.) He did make some new friends, though!
This set will have two bonus sheets: one that helps you commit crimes...
...and one featuring cards from a scrapped "aftermath" style epilogue booster set, called "the vault." These are the treasures that Oko and his Possie are after in the set's story!
Golem tribal??

One last thing: Fblthp makes his triumphant return to Magic after nearly 5 years!
We don't know what he's plotting (or, indeed, what "plotting" actually is yet), but rest assured, this little bugger is up to something!
A 1/1 with deathtouch is surprisingly good, even in power-motivated Cubes. I've actually had a lot of success with Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist even though the Powerstone is not that valuable in my list, and I think Tinybones 2.0 is much better.
I love the Ragavan-like ability here. It feels less feelsbad, but still plenty powerful. Deathtouch goes a long way in making this trade up more frequently than his pirate monkey analog.
And he's so cute!!
I think Tinybones will be in my Cube for a long time to come, this is exactly the kind of card I've been hoping for to buff out my 1-drop section with appropriate cards that work well across archetypes.
Idk Brad, he’s *really* good with Eldrazi!

I know why you get to cast nonland permanents, firing off your opponents interaction is probably too easy a game for a 1 drop
But it does curb a lot of the excitement of this card. Barring sheninigans like seal of fire you're probably casting their creatures, if anything else.
I thought this was gonna be reverse dreadhorde arcanist and it's tiny ink-eyes? Not that either of those are bad, just feels a little weird

Where's the dislike reaction?

This Oko might be the coolest Clone ever. Definitely doesn't look as oppressive as old Oko.
Yeah that Oko, the Trickster was a true menace

This set is designed by EDH players: interacting with your opponent is LITERALLY A CRIME

New mechanics and flavor mismatches with old cards, name a more iconic duo!Oh also:

If you think about it, it kind of makes sense that a capital punishment is not a crime since they are usually conducted by the same people/government who write the law which determines what is a crime and what isn’t.
And a Secret Rendezvous could easily be a crime. Especially if you are hiding from the law enforcement like a true Michael Scofield-Sara Tancredi style.

Oh yeah nobody posted this yet:
Nathan's invitational card
I'm kinda in! I'm always in dire need of good blue creatures, and evasive creatures that reward you for playing cantrips or interaction that can still block (even if it'll likely be as an 0/3) is a convincing package
I'm gonna put together one with crimes reminder text though. Going with this until we get official rulings:
Technically it's a crime to giant growth a creature you stole this way, but I'm okay with that if it comes up

Code:
(You commit a crime whenever you target an opponent or any cards they own.)Technically the way they've been handling this ever since Eldraine is letting the victor look at the card file and see if there is anything they would like to have their name on. They get input on name and card design (I think they're even able to submit their own designs still as well). Essentially, Mr. Steuer chose to commit a crime : )Pretty bummer to win the Worlds and get rewarded with a “Whenever you commit a crime” card with your face on it
Yes to these..
, & ...but not
or ...At least they got
Caught red-handed!! Hilarious.
I really hope the lack of reminder text for crime doesn't continue with spoilers for the rest of the set. Such a pain whenever they do this with one-of mechanics that they feature for a set before shelving for years to come. It's not intuitive at all and just another obstacle for players to wade through.
Digging the frontier vibe. Some of the outfits remind me of Monster Hunter (but that's probably because I spent most of Low Rank in full Wroggi gear).
I guess my question is: will there be a sherriff in this town? Surely there can't be two "crime-themed" planes with no law enforcement, right?
Anyway: Tinybones 4 lyfe

New Capenna and Thunder Junction?
Also really cool to visit some new planes again after Ravnica, Ixalan, Eldraine and four (five) sets of Dominaria. The last new plane we had was actually New Capenna. Now we get Thunder Junction and Bloomburrow!
