Outlaws of Thunder Junction Bundle Unboxing 

I picked up a box of OTJ from my LGS yesterday. I got nearly every pull I wanted and quite a few valuable pulls. The most important pull I snagged was Riku of Many Paths which I'm building a commander deck around and I can't wait to playtest it at my LGS next week.

I got a pre-release box today myself, and my notable pulls were Oko, the Ringleader and Lotus Ring. Those two together are worth nearly what I paid for the box itself ($25). (1:39) I really like the full-art lands of this set. Neat way to shape the mana symbols, especially with how the Forest makes use of negative space for the tree symbol. (3:35) Wouldn't it hurt to try to ride a porcupine? :P (4:13) "Voted most likely to bring back banding". (7:13) Heh, someone else at the store pulled two Contagion Engines and used them in his deck. He did wreck some of my army with it, but I had a few creatures with +1/+1 counters that cancelled out the initial -1/-1 counters, and thus they couldn't be weakened any further by the proliferations. I eventually won that match by barely keeping my one flying creature alive through the -1/-1 counter proliferation thanks to equipping it with my Lotus Ring, and then I used Reach for the Sky and Gold Rush on it to make the final push towards finishing off my opponent's last 5 life points, when my flying creature had been weakened to a 1/1 just before I played those buffs. (8:34) Heh, Failed Fording is clearly an Oregon Trail reference.

I like the wild west theme

I got 7 mythics from one bundle box!! Almost 1 mythic for every pack! Was insane

I think I’m gonna save for the next two core sets. This one isn’t really my cup of tea. I want Bloomburrow because it feels more like a Magic set. And I want Duskmourn because the thought of a 70s/80s horror movie world sounds exciting to me, as I really like horror.

i have got oko, thief of crowns foiled from my first booster

As a set, this is far more enjoyable than Karlov manor. The bonus sheet makes for interesting interactions with the crime mechanic although I am not a fan of the theme. Pre release last night was fantastic and I came 3rd! Just holding back on purchasing product like I used to as its relentless! but am very much looking forward to Bloomburrow. The top set of the year in my opinion.

Not even a full set of full art lands??? Won't be getting this.

3:38 I'm sorry, but I don't think I would like to ride on the back of a porcupine! That would really hurt my bottom!

YEE HAWW 🤠 I had a bad prerelease experience at my LGS someone awkwardly made up their own rules about trample and it was a moment where a judge wasn’t available so I awkwardly scooped I didn’t want to participate

Eh. Not really interested in this set, just not something I really like. I think also the commander decks were really disappointing to me, might pick up the spellslinger one only.
