Third Eye Spotlight: Magic the Gathering Outlaws of Thunder Junction

OUTLAWS OF THUNDER JUNCTION BRINGS AN OLD WEST TWIST TO THE WORLDS OF MAGIC THE GATHERING!

Howdy, stranger. Can’t say I’ve seen you here before. Now that the Omenpaths have opened Thunder Junction to the Multiverse at large, things ain’t as secretive as they used to be. Some may be frazzled at sudden company, but not me. Every new acquaintance is a new opportunity. But opportunities are just regrets without preparation.

This new set looks dope as hell, bringing an OLD WEST aesthetic to MTG, and we’re STOKED on this!

We cannot wait for this one to drop, and when it arrives on 4/19/24, we know you’re gonna love it, Third Eye Faithful!

CLICK HERE TO PRE-ORDER OUTLAWS OF THUNDER JUNCTION FOR THIRD EYE PICK-UP🛒 OR THIRD EYE SHIPS📬

So, let’s get you prepared for Thunder Junction. New cards, new abilities, and plenty of loot are looking for a good home.

Before we dive into the new mechanics, let’s talk Limited. As is usually the case, any card you open in Sealed Deck and Draft events is part of your card pool and can be played. It doesn’t matter if it’s OTJ, BIG, OTP, SPG, or OTC. It belongs to you, and it’s yours to include in your deck if you want. What do those expansion codes mean? I’m glad you asked.

The OUTLAWS OF THUNDER JUNCTION release contains a tumblewagg’s bounty worth of cards. Of course, there’s the main set with expansion code OTJ. There’s also a separate subset called The Big Score, giving you a peek at what everyone’s scheming after. These 30 cards have expansion code BIG. OTJ and BIG cards are legal for Standard play, as well as most other Constructed formats, including Commander.

But wait! There’s more. You may open cards from a 65-card bonus sheet called Breaking News. These newspaper-inspired reprints are all potential crimes (we’ll get to that in a minute) and have the expansion code OTP.

Or, you may be visited by one of the Special Guests cards. These 10 reprints have the expansion code SPG. OTP and SPG cards are legal in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage. Individual cards from these sets will continue to be legal in any format in which they are already legal.

To round out the gang, new Commander cards with expansion code OTC can be found in some Collector Boosters as well as the Commander decks. Reprints with expansion code OTC complete those Commander decks. Those cards are legal in Commander, naturally, as well as Legacy and Vintage. Any reprint is legal in any format in which it was already legal.

OUTLAWS

Success on this plane, and on other planes I suppose, often boils down to the company you keep. Several cards in the set refer to outlaws.

An outlaw, used as a noun, is any permanent with one or more of these creature types: Assassin, Mercenary, Pirate, Rogue, and Warlock. You’ll often see abilities such as the one Rakish Crew has that refer to “an outlaw you control.” This phrase refers only to permanents on the battlefield, not spells or cards anywhere else. Outlaws are almost always creatures, but a kindred permanent (a little-seen card type previously known as tribal) with one or more of the right creature types can also be an outlaw. Go figure.

Outlaw can also be used as an adjective to describe something else, such as a spell or a card in a zone other than the battlefield. For example, an ability may trigger whenever you cast an outlaw spell or return an outlaw creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.

COMMITTING A CRIME

Success on this plane, and on other planes I suppose, often boils down to how far you’re willing to go to get what you want. The new rules term committing a crime covers a range of common actions you’ll probably be happy to take during your games. Several cards in the set will even reward you for doing so.

You commit a crime as you cast a spell, activate an ability, or put a triggered ability on the stack that targets one or more of the following:

  • An opponent
  • A spell or ability an opponent controls
  • A permanent an opponent controls
  • A card in an opponent’s graveyard

If a spell or ability doesn’t target anything on that list, it’s not a crime, even if it targets something like an opponent’s card in exile or has a sinister-sounding name that would be a felony in many jurisdictions.

Once you cast the spell, activate the ability, or put the triggered ability on the stack, the crime has been committed. It doesn’t matter what happens to the spell or ability (or any of its targets) after that point.

SPREE

Success on this plane, and on other planes I suppose, often boils down to not settling when you can have it all. Spree is a new keyword found on several modal cards in this set.

Each mode includes an additional cost that must be paid to cast the spell. You must choose one or more modes as you cast a spell with spree, but no single mode can be chosen more than once. If you cast a spell with spree without paying its mana cost, you must still choose one or more modes and pay those additional costs. The mana cost is covered though, so at least you enjoy a nice discount.

Spree cards have a modified frame that includes a plus sign by the mana cost—this is just a reminder and has no actual rules meaning. Remember that no matter which modes you choose and which additional costs you pay, the mana value of a spell with spree is based only on its mana cost. For example, Final Showdown’s mana value is always 1, even if you chose all three modes.

MOUNTS AND SADDLE

Success on this plane, and on other planes I suppose, often boils down to not standing still for too long. Find yourself a trusty Mount and saddle up. Thunder Junction, let’s ride!

Mount is a new creature type. It doesn’t have any specific rules associated with it; it’s just where you’re most likely to find the new ability saddle. There’s no real connection between Mounts and saddle other than a flavorful one. If a Mount becomes some other creature type, it will still have saddle, and non-Mounts can gain saddle if effects allow them to do so.

Saddle is an activated ability that you activate as a sorcery—meaning during your main phase while the stack is empty—by tapping any number of untapped creatures you control other than the Mount with saddle with total power or more, where is the number included in the saddle keyword.

As the saddle ability resolves, the Mount becomes saddled until end of turn. This doesn’t inherently mean anything, but another ability on the card will somehow refer to the Mount being saddled. Many Mounts have simple triggered abilities like the one Trained Arynx has—these trigger whenever the Mount attacks while saddled. But some Mounts give you a little more bang for your bucking bronco. Our old friend The Gitrog doesn’t treat its riders too kindly, but you’ll be in prime position to benefit.

PLOT

Success on this plane, and on other planes I suppose, often boils down to planning. Plot is a new keyword that allows you to pay a cost up front and exile a card from your hand. The card then becomes plotted. On a future turn, you may cast a plotted card from exile without paying its mana cost. Both the special action to plot the card from your hand and casting a plotted card from exile are done as a sorcery—again, meaning during your main phase while the stack is empty.

Plot is a fantastic way to set up future turns, knowing that your spell is available for no further mana investment. To take full advantage of Plan the Heist, you’d prefer to have an empty hand as it resolves. Or maybe you’re still searching for a second source of blue mana. No matter your reasons, plotting the card sets you up for a potent turn in the future.

Some plot cards offer cheaper plot costs, letting you save on mana if you’re willing to wait for a future turn to finally cast the spell. Some are creatures with triggered abilities that you may want to time more strategically. What’s more, the plot keyword isn’t the only way to have cards become plotted. Sometimes, you need to … well, this:

The same timing rules apply to any card that becomes plotted, no matter how that happens. It can’t be cast on the same turn it became plotted. When you finally do cast the spell, you do so as a sorcery.

BOUNTIES (COMMANDER MINIGAME)

Success on this plane, and on other planes I suppose, often boils down to keeping your eyes on the prize. Bounty cards are a special addition to COMMANDER DECKS that present players with some interesting characters to try and apprehend.

If your game includes bounties, all players use a shared bounty deck, which consists of at least 6 of the 12 total bounty cards. The bounty deck uses no more than one of any particular bounty card. After all, once they’re caught, no sense in putting out another bounty on them, right? That’s just throwing away good loot.

Bounties begin on the starting player’s third turn. Gives the fugitives a sporting chance, you know? Each bounty card describes the condition under which a player may capture them and claim their reward. Only the player whose turn it is can claim a reward, and only one reward may be claimed per turn.

There are four different reward levels for bounties, and each bounty uses the same reward chart. If you claim a reward on the turn that bounty was first offered, you create a Treasure token—the level 1 reward. If a bounty goes unclaimed at the end of the turn, the reward level increases until the maximum reward is offered at level 4, two Treasure tokens and a card.

Once you claim a reward, set that bounty card aside. You can place it next to you for bragging rights. As the next turn begins, you’ll reveal who’s next to be on the run. If the bounty deck is depleted, there’s been a jailbreak! Shuffle all the bounty cards back together to reform the bounty deck. You’ll have to get to work catching everyone again. At least there’s more Treasure and maybe some cards in it for you.

Third Eye Faithful: one of the most iconic eras of comics has gotta be that period in the mid-90s when an outpour of pure, unbridled creativity was flowing strongly from both MARVEL, DC & of course, all those wonderful ’90s indie pubs!

And, when we saw that the unthinkable was happening, something that we NEVER thought would happen: DC VS MARVEL & the AMALGAM AGE are getting reprinted!

First, in the DC VS MARVEL OMNIBUS, in 1976, the Big Two in comics made pop culture history by pitting their most popular heroes–Superman and the Amazing Spider-Man–against each other! The success of this one-shot comic paved the way for future collaborations between the House of Ideas and the Distinguished Competition, ushering in a new age of inter-company crossover events that boasted some of the industry’s biggest writers and artists.

Now, for the first time in over 20 years, the comics that started it all will be collected in a brand-new omnibus edition featuring the classic DC Universe and Marvel team-up stories from Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man #1, Marvel Treasury Edition #28, DC Special Series #27, Marvel and DC Comics Presents Featuring the Uncanny X-Men and the New Teen Titans #1, Batman/Punisher: Lake of Fire #1, Punisher/Batman: Deadly Knights #1, Darkseid Vs.

And then, in THE AMALGAM AGE OMNIBUS, pitting their world’s greatest superheroes against each other, only the winning universe will be allowed to live! And the loser…will cease to exist. Superman versus the Hulk! Batman versus Captain America! Wolverine versus Lobo!

Fighting against the clock, Access, a new hero traversing both worlds, will attempt victory through another means: The combination of DC and Marvel into one universe!

The Amalgam age of comics is born! Batman and Wolverine become Dark Claw! Captain America and Superman become Super Soldier! Wonder Woman and Storm become Amazon! But will the existence of Amalgam prolong the inevitable demise of DC or Marvel? Will the Amalgam Universe fight back when Access attempts to return the universes to their former glory?

This once-in-a-lifetime event is finally collected in a once-in-a-lifetime Omnibus!

Featuring DC Versus Marvel #1-4, the DC/Marvel: All-Access #1-4, Unlimited Access #1-4, Amazon #1, Assassins #1, Bat-Thing #1, Bruce Wayne: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #1, Bullets and Bracelets #1, Challengers of the Fantastic #1, Dark Claw Adventures #1, Doctor Strangefate #1, Exciting X-Patrol #1, Generation Hex #1, Iron Lantern #1, JLX Unleashed #1, Legend of the Dark Claw #1, Lobo the Duck #1, The Magnetic Men Featuring Magneto #1, Speed Demon #1, Spider-Boy #1, Spider-Boy Team-Up #1, Super Soldier #1, Super Soldier: Man of War #1, Thorion of the New Asgods #1, X-Patrol #1, and a story from Green Lantern #87.

SUPERSTAR JASON AARON (SOUTHERN BASTARDS, THOR GOD OF THUNDER) revives one of the richest legacies in comic storytelling with UNCLE SCROOGE & THE INFINITY DIME #1

Third Eye Faithful, when we first heard about this one: we just about lost our minds. Seriously: this is a BIG DEAL!!!

The legacy of Uncle Scrooge in comics is one of the most richest around, as the work that both Don Rosa & Carl Barks did with the character throughout the years completely and totally took it from beyond being just a Disney character and into being one of the most thoughtful explorations of character & lore that you’ll ever find.

We often tell folks that the Don Rosa’s LIFE & TIMES OF SCROOGE MCDUCK is the equivalent of doing what WATCHMEN did for superhero comics for licensed characters & Disney in particular, and if you’ve never read it: you really should.

So, the arrival of one of the best writers in comics, Jason Aaron, of SOUTHERN BASTARDS & THOR GOD OF THUNDER FAME, doing such a prestigious character: we knew we had to really scream this one out!

It’s the story you never expected! One of the greatest characters in the history of comics leaps into his most epic adventure yet, in the manner only MARVEL can deliver!

When UNCLE SCROOGE’S fabled money bin gets stolen by a shocking culprit, the world’s toughest duck must undertake a quest unlike any other, alongside a surprising array of allies: other versions of himself!

An oversized special, from Marvel mainstay writer JASON AARON (THOR, AVENGERS) and a cadre of celebrated Scrooge artists! Also re-presenting the classic CHRISTMAS ON BEAR MOUNTAIN, the first appearance of Scrooge McDuck by the legendary DISNEY COMICS creator, CARL BARKS!

ZATANNA GETS THE SPOTLIGHT IN A MUST-READ NEW BLACK LABEL SERIES WITH ZATANNA: BRING DOWN THE HOUSE #1

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for…please put your hands together for Zatanna Zatara! The greatest entertainer in the crappiest hotel and casino of Las Vegas! Not that the ritzier spots on the Strip haven’t come calling, of course.

But since a devastating instance of magic gone wrong that forever changed the course of her childhood, Zatanna would much rather live out her days as a top-hat-and-fishnets-wearing sleight-of-hand stage act than bother with real magic.

These days, she doesn’t think much of the past at all. That is, until an interdimensional vortex cracks open during Zatanna’s act, and a terrifying demon crawls out to kill her. If she hopes to survive the horrors that follow it, she’ll need to take herself and her power seriously for the first time in a long time–and fast. Because when it comes to your past, you can run…but you can’t hide forever!

ALICE IN CHAINS classic JAR OF FLIES gets a must-have reissue this week!!!

Snag a copy & revisit those sweet, sweet days of 1994!

GUIDED BY VOICES’S CLASSIC SAME PLACE THE FLY GOT SMASHED GETS RE-ISSUED THIS WEEK!!!

Originally released in 1990, Same Place The Fly Got Smashed was Guided by Voices’ fourth album in as many years. Roughly a concept album about an alcoholic named Joker Bob who goes on a bender, someone dies, and Bob gets the chair (“the electrifying conclusion”). From the moment the needle drops, the listener is served notice that this isn’t going to be an easy listen, as an argument taped off of a TV cuts to a basement recording of a lone, blaring electric guitar with someone yelling over the top. But for those brave enough to pass the opening hazards, there are wonders within.This particular album has come to be held in higher and higher regard by fans, and they are correct to consider it a top-tier release. The story and sequence have a flow, and consideration for approachability is optional. Many of the crudest tracks reveal themselves as necessary stitches in the album’s tapestry. Yet it also contains all time greats like “Drinker’s Peace,” “Mammoth Cave,” the epic “Local Mix-Up/Murder Charge,” and of course “Pendulum” with it’s immortal opening line: “Come on over tonight, we’ll put on some Cat Butt and do it up right!”-a rare break in the clouds on one of the band’s darkest albums. This reissue, like the previous ones in this series, is a mostly faithful reproduction of the original pressing of 500 on the band’s own Rocket #9 label. And like the others, the virgin RTI vinyl is housed in a thick tip-on jacket, and includes Robert Pollard’s original handwritten lyric insert.

DEATH METAL LEGENDS SUFFOCATION DROP THEIR NEWEST ALBUM HYMNS FROM THE APOCRYPHA THIS WEEK!!!

Co-produced by Christian Donaldson (Shadow Of Intent, Ingested) and featuring cover art by Greek illustrator Giannis Nakos (Vomitory, The Crown), the album pushes the band to the very edges of extremity. Hymns from the Apocrypha demonstrates Suffocation leveling up as they head into their 35th Anniversary. Uncompromisingly brutal, artistically gutsy, and aurally heavy as ever. Gold LP

BOLDY JAMES RELEASES A NEW HIP HOP MUST-LISTEN FILLED WITH GRIMY BEATS & 1980S AESTHETIC!!!

Clear with Orange Galaxy Vinyl. Boldy James and Belgian producer Your Boy Posca join forces to create a new sound within Boldy’s world of countless, yet quality, projects. With a classy, laid back approach of grimy soul samples and spooky 1980’s aesthetic, the tape flows flawlessly top to bottom as Boldy paints a unique portrait of a Midwest drug dealer. This is a vinyl/cassette exclusive release, so it’s not going to be on streaming minus one single.

Available in-store on NEW RECORD FRIDAY 3/22/24!

POISON IDEA’S LEGENDARY “FEEL THE DARKNESS” GETS A NEW REISSUE WITH A NEW MIX!!! ONE OF THE BEST FAST HARDCORE ALBUMS OF ALL TIME!!!

Some people STILL didn’t like the last mix so we took it the Jackpot Studios, Larry Crane, and he pushed the faders into the red. If this doesn’t blow yer top, you already dead, my friend! Poison Idea’s 1990 classic Feel The Darkness album has been remixed (again) and remastered and is now available on a double LP Set which also includes singles, B-sides, some choice covers and outtakes featuring the classic lineup of Jerry A, Pig Champion, Myrtle Tickner, Mondo and Thee Slayer Hippy. This is the one that gets the #1 album ranking by Poison Idea themselves. So good, that Kurt Cobain had the sticker on his guitar. A blend of Rock, metal and punk. We can’t stress how heavy this is.

2024 – THE YEAR OF THE WEDNESDAY WARRIOR STARTS WITH THIRD EYE’S SUMMER OF COMICS!

2024 Marks the Debut of Some of the Most Exciting Comics in Ages — and we’re celebrating it every season with YOU, Third Eye Faithful!

JOIN US FOR THE SUMMER OF COMICS!!!

Third Eye Faithful, by now you know us: we’ve got a ton of nerdy obsessions, ranging from our love of tabletop games and toy collecting to our obsession with record-collecting & tracking down old movies, but you know where one of our biggest soft spots always will be and always has been: COMICS!!!

That’s right, and after a couple of quieter years for exciting new comics, 2024 is shaping up to be one of the most defining years we’ve ever seen for the medium of comic storytelling, and for good reason: there’s been A LOT of amazing things cooking up over the last few years, and they all start rolling out this year!

Whether it’s the revival of beloved ’80s and ’90s faves, like TRANSFORMERS & GI JOE in Robert Kirkman’s cutting edge ENERGON UNIVERSE and other animated icons like THUNDERCATS & TMNT making their return, or the hype (that is oh so real!) for Jonathan Hickman’s incredible ULTIMATE UNIVERSE, plus the biggest creator-owned shared universe we’ve seen since the inception of the IMAGE COMICS universe in the ’90s with Geoff Johns’s GHOST MACHINE: 2024 is shaping up to be a BIG one!!!

And, we’ve barely scratched the surface: Jason Aaron’s UNCLE SCROOGE looks dope as hell, DC’s ELSEWORLDS revival is going to be pure fire, and rumors swirling around the DC’s ABSOLUTE POWER & Marvel’s X-MEN line-up have us so darn stoked!

And, with NEW COMIC WEDNESDAY catching fire in a big way: we’re cooking up a lot of fun ways to celebrate with you all year long, and we’ll be clueing you in all the way right here, and making you a part of the THIRD EYE WEDNESDAY WARRIORS club!

ROOK EXODUS #1 – the first of the three GHOST MACHINE launch titles, ROOK EXODUS features BATMAN THREE JOKERS dream team, GEOFF JOHNS & JASON FABOK, reuniting to deliver a must-read new sci-fi fantasy that will leave you on the edge of your seat!

Hundreds of years from now, the man known as Rook was once a simple farmer who fled the crumbling Earth for a new life on the planet Exodus; a terraformed planet where all of nature, including its imported animal population, was completely controlled by humans called Wardens. But when Exodus’s world engine failed, the Wardens’ power fell into the wrong hands, creating chaos and mass evacuation…for those who could afford it. The rest, like Rook, must scavenge for an escape vessel as the war for control of what’s left of Exodus begins.

They call him the SPACE GHOST – and his adventures begin here!

BROTHER DEGE RETURNS WITH AN ALL NEW ALBUM, DELIVERING MORE OF HIS BLUESY AMERICANA SOUND!

If you make the trek down to Louisiana, you won’t leave the same way you came. Listening to Brother Dege, you breathe in the backwoods air, fall under the spell of the swamp, and get to know the ghosts of the Delta. Materialising at a crossroads between soul-rousing rock and roll, eloquent folk, graveyard Americana, and psychedelic bliss, the GRAMMY Award-nominated troubadour absorbs the spirit of his home state in threads of droning slide guitar, naked vocals, and blood-soaked poetry. On Brother Dege’s sixth full-length “Aurora”, after quietly generating tens of millions of streams, earning widespread acclaim, and carving out a corner in pop culture history with a co-sign by none other than Quentin Tarantino, the American guitarist and singer Dege Legg pulls everyone into his lush musical world. An undercurrent of bluesy distortion tosses and turns in tectonic motion beneath bold hooks as his love for seventies and eighties staples funnels into a twisted 21st century take on Southern rock. He emerges out of this smoke with a vision without comparison, bringing grit and gusto in equal measure to Alt-Americana.

During 2004, when Dege Legg emerged as Brother Dege, he introduced his already fully-developed unique sound via the album debut “Trailerville”. In it’s wake, the sophomore full-length “Folk Songs of the American Longhair” yielded a procession of anthems, including ‘Too Old to Die Young’, which Tarantino personally selected to play over a key sequence in “Django Unchained” and to grace the tracklist of the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Dege parlayed this momentum into a string of fan favourite albums, namely “How To Kill A Horse” (2013), “Scorched Earth Policy” (2015), and “Farmer’s Almanac” (2018).

There can be no denying that Brother Dege is heavily influenced by the music and sound of the Deep South, against which he rebelled in his youth. Yet even while the roots remain strong, the American guitarist and singer transcends his song another step further into the universal language of rock and roll with his new masterpiece “Aurora”. Lean back, close your eyes, and let these wonderful songs engulf you.

RISING HARDCORE SUPERSTARS GOUGE AWAY’S DEEP SAGE IS A MUST-LISTEN MASTERPIECE OF PURE RAW FUN!!!

Deep Sage, Gouge Away’s third studio album, started coming together in 2019 during sound checks and in small pockets of downtime between tours. In early 2020, they demoed with Brok Mende in an unassuming storage unit in Orlando. They pulled influence not only from the nostalgia of the bands they grew up listening to but also developed the sense of urgency, noise, and introspective lyrics they felt most represented them. Those demos helped shape the songs into the finished record that Deep Sage would become.

Then everything came to a halt in 2020 when a full year of plans were canceled in an instant. With the rug pulled out from under them, their backs against the wall, and no way to change the situation they were in, the members of Gouge Away had no choice but to go on a hiatus. They moved to different parts of the country and focused on their personal lives, accepting that those songs were never going to see the light of day.

But the songs lived as files waiting to be rediscovered and every once in a while, they’d get the urge to listen to them again. On New Year’s Eve just before 2022, they decided to reconnect and finish writing the album with Portland, OR becoming their new writing location. While everyone was in town for a writing session, Militarie Gun had a show down the street at Mano Oculta and invited Gouge Away to play a couple of songs during their set as a surprise. It was the first show the band had played in three years and the live debut of “Maybe Blue”. Energized by the reaction, the band finished writing. They had an overabundance of material, slashing songs from the final tracklist left and right. They not only elaborated on the urgent and abrasive qualities they were known for but broadened their melodic traits too.

Deep Sage was recorded with Jack Shirley at Atomic Garden East in March 2023 completely analog and almost entirely live. The band recorded together in a live room while Christina was in an isolation booth. Her vocals projected from a monitor so the band could hear her. The goal of recording live was to sound like five friends playing in a room together, just like where they started in Florida. Unpolished and far from being over-produced, this is what the heart of Gouge Away has always been.
