Before previews for Outlaws of Thunder Junction officially begin, I thought it would be fun to do another of my Duelist-style teasers where I give tiny hints of things to come. Note that I’m only giving you partial information.
First up, here are some things you can expect:
- A new batch of five related creature types
- A card capable of returning three different card types from the graveyard to the battlefield
- A mechanic players have been asking us to do for many years gets made as the setting was the perfect place to finally do it
- Dual lands with a land subtype that has never been on dual lands before
- A new modal mechanic that introduces something different to think about
- A card that can swap/exchange control of up to three different card types
- A new creature token that has an ability no creature token has ever had before
- A typal card for Skeletons and Zombies
- Creature tokens in the set: (some might have abilities) 1/1 white Sheep, 1/1 blue Bird, 1/1 black Vampire Rogue, 1/1 red Mercenary, 2/1 green Varmint, 2/2 white Ox, 2/2 white Spirit, 2/2 blue and black Zombie, 3/1 red Dinosaur, 3/3 white Angel, 3/3 green Elk, 4/4 red Scorpion Dragon, X/X green Elemental, / Blue Ox

- “When you win that flip, copy that spell.”
- “If a triggered ability of a legendary creature you control triggers, that ability triggers an additional time.”
- “you get that many additional upkeep steps after this phase.”
