It’s time to saddle up, partner, because Magic: The Gathering is headed to the Wild West with its latest set, Outlaws of Thunder Junction, launching on April 19. This set draws inspiration from the romantic ideals of the American Wild West, chock full of gunslingers, masked bandits, and vigilante justice. As its name suggests, the theme of Outlaws of Thunder Junction centers around a group of villains planning a heist, using a clever mash-up of Western tropes and arcane magic.
