Who are Oko's Outlaws? 

just made an account, very cool website

Additionally, he's not got red in him because he's not that impulsive kid anymore.

People mention Annie's card reflecting digging up her rifle, but it also synergieses 100% with her ride "Fortune, Loyal Steed" even her tap trigger with the saddle ability

If her body is actually young, why does her reflection show her as being old?

@@MagicArcanum Dorian Grey scenario?

@@MagicArcanum The reflection shows her TRUE self. She has a young body gained by magic. Her true self is that of an old chrone. If you were to undo her magic or if her magic ran out, she would revert to her true self. Like the other person replied, it's like Dorian Gray. He has a young body, but his true self is reflected in the picture. It's not an illusion.

So under this proposed system, Eriette has a true self that is still visible in reflections but would not be visible to Annie's eye? 🤨

@@MagicArcanum I haven't read the Magic story, so what I'm about to say could be wrong. 1- To my knowledge, Annie can turn her magic eye on and off. I don't know if she purposely used her eye on Eriette in the story. If she did, then there are issues. If she didn't, then Annie wouldn't see anything. 2- Different magics work in different ways. Again, I didn't read the story, so I don't know the details of Annie's eyes. I don't know if her eye would see Dorian Gray's true self. Does Annie's eyes see the target's true physical form, or the target's soul? I would argue Eriette's true physical form is young while her soul is shown through reflections. 3- I also didn't read the Eldraine story. I don't know if the story says Eriette's old self is shown in reflections. If not, the card art could just be a visual representation of Eriette and her magic. The closest comparison we have is Liliana. She's over 100 years old, but has the body of someone in her 30's. Liliana used demon magic to make herself young. Demon magic and witchcraft are not the same. It could be that demon magic is strong enough to make the reflection a non-issue. Perhaps witchcraft comes with a steep price that is shown in the reflection. There are many ways to explain it. It depends on the detailed explanation of both of their powers.

Flavor over function friend

Discover is mostly in red/green, and there are a few blue plot cards but not nearly as many as blue/black ninjas.

@@MagicArcanum Satoru's in a weird place where he needs to mechanically fit with what's in standard but as a character is blue-black, and it would be aesthetically weird if he didn't mechanically work with ninjas in some capacity. I guess this was their compromise. I personally would have preferred if this were a wholly new character that better matched the identity of the set, but I at least understand the reasons the card we got may be the way it is. Love your vids btw, I know I tend to be critical, but it comes from a place of respect and enjoyment for your work! Keep it up my man 👍

In the epilogue chapters, they tell us that he had to practice his performance in front of Vraska for a while to make it convincing. If he could just use mind magic to make everyone think he was Ashiok, he wouldn't need to do that, but he really did need to "sell" the illusion by not only looking like Ashiok, but moving behaving like them, as well.

In Murders at Karlov Manor we learned Rakdos has been asleep long enough to provide an alibi for the recent murders, but nobody could predict how much longer he would slumber. Also, even though for us these sets were close together, for the characters a considerable amount of time passes between each expansion.

@@MagicArcanum Only Kellan's art can back up how much time passes 😋😂 Jace's story also said it had been months anyways

In the card "Rakish Crew," he is like 12 feet tall. In another card, "Rakdos the Muscle," scale is hard to determine, but he might be 50 feet tall.

The time between story events is more than the time it is for set releases. In other words, for us those sets were a few months apart, but for the characters it was closer to half a year. Plenty of time for Rakdos to wake up, become bored, wander through an omenpath, and be hired by Oko.

I have a few win conditions in the deck (Mirkwood Bats, Halsin, Fynn, etc). But the realnfun of the deck comes from it playing differently every game and constructing weird board states from other people's stuff.

I normally don't respond to comments with this type of language, but I'm going to use this as a teaching moment because I don't think it's fair to be upset with WotC for this. Jace was supposed to be part of The Big Score, when it was going to be an epilogue set similar to March of the Machine: The Aftermath. However, players really didn't like that set, and WotC actually listened to that feedback and changed their plans. They folded The Big Score into Outlaws of Thunder Junction, which left them in an awkward spot because now they did have to put two planeswalkers in one set after they just said they were going to stop doing that (at least for the time being). So, would you have preferred they went ahead with The Big Score and put Jace there, just so they'd have kept their promise about one planeswalker per release? Or would you have then complained they were repeating the mistakes of The Aftermath? I know Wizards is guilty of making some misplays, but I don't think this was one of them. This was them changing their strategy based on player feedback and we should be grateful for that, rather than criticizing them for deviating from their goal of minimizing the number of planeswalkers in each new Standard release.

@@MagicArcanum if you want to see the art from this it’s in the alchemy set , which pretty much is the rest of the big score set

Thunder Junction has been "open" for about two years now, and one of the side stories (the one featuring Gisa and Geralf) has them visiting a massive graveyard, filled with would-be adventurers who weren't cut out for life in the desert.

Yes, Jace was originally part of The Big Score, an Aftermath style epilogue set, but they folded it into Outlaws of Thunder Junction so we do have two planeswalker cards together, even though WotC insists that won't be normal going forward.

I totally get the Macguffin part. What's the retcon?

I fully agree. He had to be a rogue to be an outlaw, but being a rogue NINJA is somewhat redundant given how those types were batched for NEO, exactly.

I suspect it is to set her up as a villain for future adventures. They needed her out of prison on Eldraine and motivated to "get even" with Jace and Vraska, so there would be more people standing in their way and preventing them from remaking the multiverse. So while her inclusion here doesn't make a ton of sense, it's a necessary inclusion for stories yet to come.

@@MagicArcanum I really hope so, she feels like unfinished business to me.

@@saitamagotchi44 kind of the theme of the writing these days 😅

He did send the location of Tarnation to the Sterling Company, before letting himself get captured on purpose (or so he claims) so that he could get the key off Akul and achieve his goal of reaching the vault - but a lot had to go right for that plan to actually work, so he seems to get by on a combination of luck and skill.

@@MagicArcanum a wise man once said "tis better to be lucky, than good." XD

He often sleeps in his lair, deep under the city, so people go long stretches without actually seeing him. If anything, he'd have the easiest time vanishing compared to any of the other highly-visible guild leaders.

Could be fun later. Seeing the cultists discover Rakdos is missing

Whoa thats an obscure reference if i ever heard any.

@@ETRHeydrich tell me you don't see it. Please, I'm going crazy.
