Due to being a long way from release, story chapters for Outlaws of Thunder Junction have not been released yet. Given past precedent, players can expect to see these before spoiler season starts in early March. While this is still a way away yet, theres still some information to pick apart.

According to Wizards of the Coast, Outlaws of Thunder Junction is the final set within the Omenpath arc. This means that players should be able to expect some big happenings and some potentially major reveals. That being said, however, the Omenpath Arc is only act one of the larger Metronome storyline which lasts until 2026.

Within the set, villains from across Magics multiverse have all flocked to Thunder Junction to duel it out. Traveling via Omenpath, its unclear exactly why MTGs villains are congregating here, however, theres sure to be a good reason. Whether its for a magical McGuffin or just for fun, this set is sure to be an absolute romp.

Curiously, Outlaws of Thunder Junction wasnt originally just one set. Instead, according to Wizards, it was originally planned to have an Aftermath-style follow-up Micro Set. Dubbed The Big Score, this set would continue the sets story and finish it with a flourish. Unfortunately, due to the reaction to March of the Machine: The Aftermath, this planned extra release was quickly scrapped.

Rather than abandoning all the work that had been done, Wizards has smushed the two sets together. This process gave The Big Score a new alternative name The Vault, which annoyingly can be used interchangeably. Thankfully, while the name may be an oddity, cards from The Big Score are easy to identify since they have their own set symbol.

In total, The Big Score contains 40 cards, each one of which is Standard legal. The cards themselves can be found where The List would usually appear within Play Boosters. For better or worse, this means that The List has been mostly replaced in Outlaws of Thunder Junction. To add one last confusing piece of the puzzle, Special Guests cards still exist for the set.

In terms of the cards themselves, weve only seen two from The Big Score right now. These cards are Sword of Wealth and Power
