Wizards of the Coast has created a unique Magic: The Gathering Standard-legal set called Outlaws of Thunder Junction, featuring a bonus sheet full of powerful reprints and a variety of booster fun treatments that are worth money on the secondary market.
The Outlaws of Thunder Junction set is the first of its kind in MTG, containing a 65-card bonus sheet of reprints called Breaking News and new cards through The List from The Big Score. Outlaws are the central theme of the Standard-legal set with the main mechanic tapping into that flavor by committing Crimes.
The new mechanic was the driving force behind the MTG reprints added to the Breaking News bonus sheet, which is packed with powerful cards from Magic’s past. The Big Score is mostly new cards, added to The List in conjunction with Special Guest cards. And all contain MTG cards worth money. All Thunder Junction prices are subject to change and were determined on average market price from sites MTGGoldfish and TCGPlayer.
