Sets (OTJ) Outlaws of Thunder Junction Previews
- Thread starter TrainmasterGT
- Start date
I was thinking it would be amazing if they left the text box like that and it's a 6/6 for 3 or something.
The more likely explanation is that it's a Mythic with Questing Beast amount of text and they legitimately forgot what all the effects are.
I think they're still doing a kickoff livestream where a bunch of WOTC employees talks about the set, just not the flashily edited video with internet micro celebrities.
First Spoiler!
Cactus Conferral
Sorcery (Uncommon)
Return up to one target creature from your graveyard to the battlefield. Return up to one target permanent card from your graveyard to your hand.
Although the cactusfolk culture is still in its infancy, the folks have already understand the sorrows of pain and the joy of rebirth.

I'm not interested in a tutor and/or color-intensive draw spell for my cube, but I still like Spree a lot!
Slickshot Show-Off is easily my favorite card of the set so far. It starts as a hasty Storm Crow that grows for the turn as you cast noncreature spells. The potential damage output offered by this card can not be ignored, and I am very excited to give it a try!
This card is dumb as hell I love it.

I'm dumb. What even is the point of plot on this card
Plot lets you do some pretty fun plays with this guy. For example, if you anticipate a wipe or don't want to overextend or whatever, you can plot it, and then after a wipe play the slickshot and cast a bunch of spells. Can let you stack prowess easier without risking a vindicate or w/e too
What's the lore here? Why are there characters from like every plane and there's a subsection of Ixalan cards?
What the hell kinda Gravedigger power creep is this?
Imagine seeing this a decade ago. It's probably not even good because it's just obscene stats.
Annie FLASH? I wonder what she does...
So many of the mythics seem crazy.
I think "commit a crime" is kinda cringe, but this is a nice card for me.
That Jace's ability to basically make 3 mana on a UU card is kinda gross.
As the Eldrazi guy, I'm happy to see "power matters."
Most of the Spree cards are at least somewhat interesting.
Finally, a card I have no judgments on. A simple Cactarantula. As God intended.

If I didn't explicitly set "no free value engines" as a rule for building my silly constrained cubes, that Jace would be pretty cool in a 237 cube.
Some other cards that stood out as pretty cool:
It slices! It dices! It's kinda absurd. Yeah, sure, a free Karnstruct with each creature if you've already got one, that's fine.
Seems strong to me. Inb4 someone tells me that it would need to be a 7/7 to be playable...
What a goofy little guy.
Hey @Brad, you wanted a reasonably fair way to cheat out big Eldrazi, right? Here's one!
It's stupidly wordy, but... this might be one of my favorite Snapcaster Mage variants? Sure, it lacks flash and is incredibly telegraphed, but in a way that just makes it more fun.

I saw this one and it'll depend whether or not I add plot as a keyword. It's also a little stronger than I think I'd want, but that's balanced a bit by being two colors.
I also like the 1WB card (with Spawns/Scions) and the Bad Snapcaster. Too many cards spoiled today and I didn't wanna be the guy to highlight all of em.
That's kind of the one annoying thing about spoiler season on the forums. I feel like people are more willing to interact with posts about a single card rather than posts about multiple cards, especially if it's a fairly short positive post and/or short post saying, "HOLY MOLY, THIS CARD IS SO PUSHED IF THEY HAD PRINTED THIS IN 1997 IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BROKEN!! FIX YOUR GAME WOTC!"
I feel like there's not really a reason to talk about all the cards until the spoilers are over or whatever. Maybe I'm off base here but that's just how I'm feeling.
