What's this New Thing in Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander Decks?? | Magic: The Gathering 

Speaking of mini-games-if “Death Race” doesn’t include Planechase cards, I am going to lose my mind.

I can't wait to make my own custom bounties for my play group

I wish you would release at least 1-10 new Planechase cards for each set. At least one for the plane and if it has had a card in the past a new location.

I do wish each deck included the minimum number of bounties needed to be able to use the bounties (6) so you if you want to play with bounties and only one person has one of these decks, you can

Thoughts from the last video still stand. If your gonna include a new or extra mechanic for commander in a precon. You should include the bare minimum PER deck in order for players to be able to use your new mechanic. Requiring 6 Bounties and only giving each precon 3 is scummy practice. Hoping players will shill out for a 2nd deck or try to talk people into spending there money to acquire all 12 just to use your new labor is love. What will more then likely is said players no longer caring and throw them away, cues its not worth the extra money or effort. Same with Planescase and any other new inclusion you guys come up with. Precons are already more expensive then they ever were, I dont think including 3 extra pieces of cardboard is gonna bankrupt Daddy Hasbro. Also Don't cut the amount of tokens per deck just to add more of these extra inclusions.

I absolutely adore the full-art commanders by the way! I would love to see those in every precon going forward, it really adds something.

I can't wait to play with Bounties, Planechase, and Ravnica Clue Edition all at the same time

I still have some questions on this mechanically that weren't covered in the comprehensive rules update for OTJ (nothing mentioned at all about bounties) or in the initial mechanics article (and not in this video either) are these legal in eternal formats? how to resolve different stacks of bounties (player a brings a different 6 than player b, neither wants to just make a stack of everything) is this an "opt in" mechanic such as planechase, or is it something anyone can bring to the table without other players being able to say anything about it like stickers?

There wasn't enough characters in OTJ, so we decided to add 12 more 👍🏼👍🏼

I love the leather effect on the backs of the Bounties

I haven't played with them yet, but have seen it played. Seems cool. There could be another verson. Flavored as Quests.

I REALLY hope that we get more dungeons at some point. They don’t even need to be D&D themed. I think that commander is probably the most likely place to get them from but seeing dungeons again in a standard set would be super sweet.

I remember when people did this a long time ago. Our local group rewarded people for doing certain things.

the teaser that there’s lore about these we don’t get to see… 😭 i WANT to know more about Squeakers and Vara Beth!!!!!

For some reason, this video made me really nostalgic for R&D. I feel like you all have so much more design space you're working in these days and the challenges for R&D are so, so much more fun than they were in our generation.

I really like them. I do think they need tweaking. Personally, I would like to see different rewards on the backs. It is like a fixed/funner version of monarch. This has knobs and a lot of potential. I do agree with not having too powerful rewards. Planechase can be fun, but it sometimes takes too much Agency from the players. Thanks Gavin.

The hidden roles+goals would be great as an official variant. There's already 2-3 fleshed out fanmade versions.

Gavin for the love of God! Make a video about the Pauper state of the game. What the PFP thoughts on ATG and Artifact Lands are. We these more often.

This seems like a lot of fun! Cant wait to try it out

They dont look like "bad guys" though. Arent they just some outlaws.

This bounty minigame feels like WotC trying to change the structure of a fan created format (Commander). Thankfully it is an off by default optional variant, but Gavin Verhey wanting to add Bounty to Commander is different from my playgroup choosing to add Planechase to some of our Commander games. Please Gavin, be careful. Err on the side of caution rather than on the side of meddling with the structure of our format.

Do you know why the Comprehensive Rules don't cover bounties? It feels like a strange thing to leave out, particularly considering other similar casual modes (like Planechase or Vanguard) are fully covered there.

I'm always interested in new ways to play commander. I like the bounty variant, and if more of them are made in the future, I can put more into the deck of bounties and create more variance in play. Also, it's fun to combine variant game modes. Now we can do a planes chase blind eternities, bounty, archenemy, dog house treasure pile, clue game.

I didn't like that they replaced 3 of each double sided tokens, it already feels like we get too few with how many tokens commander decks make Also, you need at least 6 bounty cards but buying a OTJ precon you only get 3? So if i'm the only one at the table with the new precon then it can't even really be introduced

As someone that is hard to impress with new mechanics, the bounty system is great, just for a start, using them is a table choice, not just one player that wants to break rad counters with proliferate or some such, additionally the entire board sees the bounty and a little competition across the board can happen of whos taking that bounty and what they will do with it vs once again that guy bringing the energy counter deck most the table would rather not play against. The less reasons a new thing has to be rule zeroed out of a play group the longer it will stay relevant, tempting me with possible gains i could acquire in my game is motivating me to allow some bounty hunting to go on instead of allowing a new thing that is probably only going to help one person. PS give desert decks more love.. pretty please

My biggest problem with the bounties is that instead of ten tokens and three bounties, the precons now come with 7 tokens and 3 bounties. No minigame is worth losing important tokens to me and it’s already a big enough pain to have the right tokens for decks

These seem really neat but definitely unfortunate the decks only have 3 each but require 6. With so many commander releases every year now theres just less people locally buying each set so less chance of getting enough. Its such a shame planechase is tied to those oversized cards as cool as they are i really wish it was easier to just include one or two every now and then at card size

What I can say as a ex-yugioh player: This sounds more fun than watching your opponent play solitaire for 5 minutes.

Why the hell would you not put 6 bounty cards in each deck if that's the minimum to actually use them?

Maybe if you could roll the planar die in a non-planechase games then some of them could see niche use in Vrondiss maybe.

For me it feels like commander is complicated enough and adding more rules to it just feels wrong

this is a new and fun addition! hope we at least get more bounties for future commander deck releases!

4:00 People set it aside because it's a 5 do nothing card.

The bountys are a really cool mechanic. Love it

These should have been oversized.

Plot is my favorite mechanic ever.

Thought bounties where a home run!

Red Dead Gathering.

I'm really looking forward to this element of the new set. I hope to get the Grand Larceny deck for my birthday next week! 🤞

Adding these minigames in each commander precon set would be awesome!

You've made my day with this video

Obligatory 1st

WotC and Hasbro make money from selling products, so put GOOD CARDS in SETS and in COMMANDER DECKS, so they’ll sell. Do not let the secondary market hold you back from putting good reprint cards in sets and commanders decks. Putting multiple rare cards in all booster packs does help sell the packs also. If players feel that they’re getting a good deal, then they’ll buy and WotC and Hasbro make money. The recent commander decks are bad deals in players’ eyes and given inflation, everyone is now frugal with their money.

I may or may not have accidentally thrown these out... they wouldn't be necessary, right?
