Top 10 Must-Have Cards From Outlaws of Thunder Junction

[@Remlap_MTG]

lol the good bad ugly sign 😂 very on theme, good one Nerds!

[@scots2129]

I play a Magnus the red spellslinger deck, that sword would be bananas for it. He flies so that provides the evasion. When he hits a player, you create a token creature. Then instance and sorceries I play are one less for each creature token on my battlefield. His only drawback is that when he gets removed the commander tax starts to get heavy. The sword would stop that

[@spidermonkey28]

All I can think of is how good Oltec is in Osgir. I made two token copies of Combustible Gearhulk.. I cast a creature spell... new Gear Hulk.. repeat.

[@Wreckur4203]

YESS!!!😁

[@vincentnoonan549]

Im shocked how you got Miso on camera utilizing his phasing abilities!(12:40) 😮 All cats have it but i think you two are the first to capture it on camera 😁

[@shawnpanzegraf5642]

I’m *so* looking forward to everyone at the LGS griping about a quarter of the people being there to play sub-Turn-5 aggro and combo, as if the fifty Orzhov/Esper Removal-Piles doubling the effective Farewell-count at the table is in no wise responsible for that shift.

[@chexmix0101]

Thunderclap drake is much better with partners my vial smasher and Malcolm keen eye deck will love this

[@JustRightPinedo]

Final showdown being an instant and modal give it the nod for me as and prob going to get that third board whipe spot behind farewell and tragic arrogance. being able to wait until your opponent's EOT to cast so you can rebuild first is huge and the fact that sometimes you can just play its dress down mode is sweet.

[@jayjayhooksch1]

Was happy to see Forsaken Miner and Lively Dirge on the list, my favorite cards from OTJ. Im trying to build a casual commander deck with the Miner with no infinites, but it just goes infinite with a ham sandwich. And lively Dirge is great, especially with cards like Forsaken Miner/Gravecrawler etc; Entomb the recursive creature and reanimate two combo/value pieces? Yes please!

[@NitpickingNerds]

Those cards are definitely gonna be headaches in the right decks

[@inserttaken_name1762]

imma go ahead and send malcolm or the buccaner and res them both in my admiral brass deck real quick dont mind me

[@OmegaSD18]

16:08 Thunderclap Drake text doesn't say you may choose new targets... so copy but with the same target?

[@James-yk3hk]

Sword of Wealth and Power would go nuts in a galazeth prismari deck

[@shadowmyst9661]

I'm putting the Sword of Wealth and Power in my Judith, Carnage Connoisseur deck because it allows a means of protecting her from herself. Equip it onto Judith and I can fire off an Earthquake, or Blasphemous Act without her dying along with everything else. Your creatures can't be blocked if there are no other creature to block after all.

[@altromonte15]

I feel like dance of the tumbleweeds is going to sneakily become a staple, in budget decks It can get you an untapped land, or a tapped desert to fix your mana, or scavenger grounds, and in late game where most ramp would be a dead card, it offers a big creature

[@grizzlythresher7140]

Add to that, if your deck is one that cares about committing crimes, all of the new lands that deal damage to target opponent are Deserts, and therefore valid targets. Ramps you And triggers crime bullshit

[@zonimi]

Looking forward to adding Goldvein Hydra to my +1/+1 Counters / Hydra deck. Waiting for it to drop to under $5 though.

[@sirmegallot3276]

I doubt it will, it's going to be played pretty heavily in standard I'd think.

[@zonimi]

@@sirmegallot3276 probably right... one can hope for a decent dip after release though

[@sirmegallot3276]

@@zonimi Crossing my fingers bc I would love a copy too!

[@18Zeke]

Final Showdown is also Sunforger fetchable which could be fun in a Voltron deck for a free swing

[@silastallio2932]

Ordered a play booster box + bundle screw singles

[@benjamintrottier2855]

Forsaken Miner + Blood artist + Phyrexian Altar FTW ?

[@NitpickingNerds]

That's another one yeah

[@jayjayhooksch1]

You could use Rakdos the Muscle or Judith, the Scourge Diva out of the command zone instead of Blood Artist; one less combo piece to find.

[@danielhavens8819]

honestly I'm pretty high on Requisition Raid in +1/+1 counter decks. 2W to destroy both an artifact and an enchantment (at sorcery speed unfortunately) is pretty nice, and putting a counter on your whole board for just 1 extra mana is great

[@tylermasek1213]

Sword of wealth in power in a Grima, Saruman’s footman deck! Yes!

[@awboqm]

Aven interrupter is weird since its tax ability doesn’t work with its first ability as far as I can tell. Whenever someone casts a spell for free (such as a plotted card), they’re allowed to cast the spell without paying its mana cost, so the fact that it costs 2 more doesn’t matter - it gets cast regardless of its cost.

[@Bstone410]

You'd have to pay 2 additional colorless mana to play a plotted card

[@tylerwolf42]

Can't believe you left Goldvein Hydra off the list. Pfft.

[@Zzmj975]

I still can't believe that card exists....WHY DOES IT HAVE NO DOWNSIDE?

[@charlied8284]

That's a Timmy card

[@charlied8284]

It's a Timmy card, cool in theory but not amazing

[@jacem4925]

Its a top 10 list.

[@brenp403]

It's good if it dies, but exile is really prevalent. I think it's still good, but slightly overrated.

[@josedcordero]

I didn't see any cards I pre ordered on this list. I guess I'm not good at deck building or spec'ing. I'm also shocked that Bristly bill didn't make it on here

[@mikeyp266]

Sword of wealth and power....perfect in a slime against humanity deck

[@NitpickingNerds]

Ah yes, of course 😂

[@Agerbo1183]

Cantrip The Howling Abomination deck

[@joshmc5882]

More interested in Final Showdown for the first ability (1W creatures lose all abilities until EOT). Good if you see a lot of hatebears in your meta and you want to disable them to win this turn, but if you swing and miss, they are turned on next turn to stop everyone else from winning. Great anti-stax tech.

[@aldotrioksidi]

Forsaken Miner is great in Lyzolda.

[@laurentrobitaille2204]

I feel like the Final Showdown slander mostly applies to non-rotating formats like commander. Imo it’s going to see a lot of use in Standard.

[@EnordAreven]

Excellent 😊

[@metalliholic]

Doesn’t the sword protect against all instant or sorceries including cards that don’t target it. Like board wipes?

[@JushakF]

Protection does not prevent destruction effects, but rather targeting, blocking and damage. So it would protect against damage-based wraths (Chain Reaction, Blashphemous Act, Earthquake etc.), but not against destruction/exile wraths (Wrath of God, Damnation, Farewell etc.), sacrifice-based effects (Edicts etc.) or -X/-X based effects (Massacre, Blight Grenade, Biting Rain).

[@metalliholic]

@@JushakF thanks, I had no idea “protection from” was that specific.

[@jameslamb4846]

Straight gas I had a few of these on my list too lol

[@phantomango7563]

I find it rather funny that forsaken miner also goes infinite with pitiless plunder and the new rakdos

[@heresyseed]

Sword of wealth and power is beast in a kamiz !

[@strygwyn9584]

I'm deff trying to pick up the W anti-fun cards :)

[@houdini8894]

I heard someone on reddit say Thunderclap Drake does not allow new Targets for the copys.

[@shanedutton888]

It got errata'd already. The updated version is on scryfall.

[@ExemptBear]

Sword of Wealth and Power in my Kalamax deck will go brrrr

[@nikhilchhagan7371]

Forsaken Miner + Phyrexian Altar + Blood Artist comes to mind to mind

[@NitpickingNerds]

Yeah that's another crime wave you can start

[@Dr_Ki11enger]

Also Mayhem Devil instead of Blood Artist works

[@jayjayhooksch1]

​@@Dr_Ki11engerOr Rakdos the Muscle or Judith the Scourge Diva out of the command zone; one less combo piece to find.

[@kv2315]

How about Lost Jitte? that card is insane

[@mrurameshi9433]

What in tarnation vista?!

[@luismagallanes2371]

But Sword of Wealth and Power already has the perfect home. Not now, but once Bloomburrow releases, this is going to be perfect in Bria, Riptide Rogue.

[@chaosredefined3834]

Insatiable Avarice also has the option of being Diabolic Tutor for 1 more, and also drawing 2 extra cards, but losing 3 life. Am I willing to pay 1 mana and 3 life to draw 2 cards? Yes. Yes I am.

[@BREAKERisDEAD]

The sign changed!

[@NitpickingNerds]

It did??

[@BREAKERisDEAD]

@NitpickingNerds since last I saw... Im watchin....

[@FelipeLundgreen]

12:40 Miso phased out 🥺.

[@hanschristopherson8056]

Oltec matterweaver is just dumb in brenard

[@DarkinBladeGaming]

K'rrik son of Yagmoth salivates at Insatiable avarice. Better Demonic Tutor? Don't mind if I do

[@elliotbanbury6442]

I haven’t watched it yet but they better mention DOC AURLOC

[@joshuadenton346]

Insatiable Avarice is going in Sheoldred

[@lordBeerus467]

Aven interrupter the prosper destroyer.

[@V1C10US]

Gotta feel bad when full cost *Spree* cards get countered.

[@lorenzomarquez9122]

[@NitpickingNerds]

I canonically love the sun

We love him

[@energetek661]

Where's Amber!?

[@NitpickingNerds]

She's around!

[@adriansawyer3174]

These videos need more miso

[@NitpickingNerds]

I agree! If he'd stay still, I'd love to have him on more videos

[@arongoldstein]

MISO CUT

[@NitpickingNerds]

RIP buddy

[@HanDaimond]

12:39 Miso phases out

[@NitpickingNerds]

He phased back in off-screen don't worry

[@fladoodlebocker]

Tower Winder is bad

[@JWL216]

Why does every video need to be about commander gahhhhh

[@ericthordarson7557]

You're takes are so pisswarm some times lol thay new sword is arguably the worst

[@inscrutablewut]

I swear to god if Final Showdown is on this list.................no one needs that. Oh for fucks sake.

[@jermiahmaxpower]

I can name 10 uncommons that are better than your list. However, I can respect your list 😂
