Every Outlaws of Thunder Junction mechanic explained - MTG Rules 

Why not i say, lands are overrated anyway

Personally not a fan. You have to remember unless there is always reminder text what is in that group. Outlwas might aswell have included Berserkers, barbarians and many more.

@@SiegfriedDrachentoeter That's fair, I don't personally mind having to remember or even look up every once in a while. Since it's the first time we have it as a keyword too, it'll probably have reminder text in most examples of the card. Usually the keyword is only by itself on special instances of the card (like alt art and the like) which I honestly prefer, or if it shows up again in a different set. Keywords are weird like that. I prefer them because they leave more room for other text, but keeping track can be a pain I imagine. I'm the type of weirdo who doesn't mind having a big stack of papers or a screen open so I can look any up that I forget, but I think I'm definitely an outlier.

​@SiegfriedDrachentoeter remembering things truly is a Magic player's weakness.

@@PhoenicopterusR It's the only game I know where having a copy of the rules/rulings/and proper errataed text for the cards is considered cheating.

@@rougheredge6705 I only have a problem with remembering things like that where its like a list. And lets not be like Magic isnt already really bloated. Party and stuff like it just kill me everytime I read it.

They got a 5 star rating. They must know 😂

At least it'll be a flavourful shakedown this time

So what ? No cavity search ?

Forced marrige?

There's a possibility that we'll see a Horsemanship card in one of the bonus sheets. Don't forget, with this set they merged the Epilogue set they were planning to launch into the main set as a bonus sheet.

Would it be better if it only included 4 creature type? Like Party?

@@attackoncardboard I guess but I think the issue is more that it feels arbitrary. Party was acceptable since most people are familiar with the concept of the titular fantasy party but the outlaws don't have that same base connection. What connects a warlock and a rouge more than a cleric and rouge or assassin and noble, it's not intuitive that those specific creature types are part of this group. Thinking about it I guess we already have historic as well and I dont mind that so I suppose its mostly just a "grrr I have to memorise something new" thing but I dont think these kinds of "collection types" are a strict benifit for the game.

Makes sense to me. Warlocks are usually evil wizards so, they'd commit crimes

My Faldorn deck might be eating good with this set.

It encourages players to attack and to not block.

It's technically not official news yet, this has all come out due to a leak 😬

Source? *EDIT* Found it. I'll make another video for this one :)

Plotting doesn't change what type the card is. So if you plotted an instant with "Fblthp, Lost on the Range", it wouldn't trigger the "Whenever you cast a Sorcery" on Spellweaver Volute. It's simply changing when you could cast the spell. Which in this case, Sorcery means "You can cast this spell during your main phase, when you have priority, and the stack is clear".

@@attackoncardboardI assume a permanent allowing you to cast sorceries at flash speed wouldn't change when you can cast the plotted creature also then.

I don't think cards like Leyline of Anticipation gets around this restriction, because the plot mechanic is explicitly putting a sorcery speed restriction on it. There are no other cards with the phrase "Cast it as a Sorcery", so I don't have anything to compare to at this point. Might have to wait for the release notes on this one.

What do you think about the upgrade to Morph, Disguise? MaRo mentioned that in play testing, players would never morph a creature because it was too weak to play a 2/2 for 3 mana, so they had to power up Morph. I see Saddle as a better Enlist. But for Plot, I need to see more cards to judge it.

@@attackoncardboard In that case surely the payoffs for using those abilities (eg turning a card face-up with morph) should me made higher instead of making new rules that will only be printed once and just confuse anyone not playing standard

What were you expecting from a Cowboy set? How is that cringe?

It sounds like a ProZD skit ability

Sets are designed years in advance. Layoffs happened last year?

I don't usually like to give WotC the benefit of the doubt, but it has been multiple decades, recycled mechanics are bound to happen one way or another.
