The first is a Crime bonus sheet of cards that help you commit [[crime]]s in the set. You'll find them in Play Boosters (1 card per booster) and Collector Boosters, and exclusively in Collector Boosters you can open [[textured foil]] versions of Breaking News cards. The Breaking News bonus sheet does not affect set legality, they will only be legal in constructed formats where those cards are already legal to play, as well as limited ''Outlaws of Thunder Junction'' play. ====The Big Score==== {{Main|Outlaws of Thunder Junction/The Big Score}} [[File:BIG expansion symbol.png|left|thumb|75px]] ''Outlaws of Thunder Junction'' was originally planned to have a follow up [[Epilogue Booster]] pack called ''[[The Big Score]]''. However, due to negative feedback on ''[[March of the Machine: The Aftermath]]'', the planned cards from ''The Big Score'' were incorporated as an extra [[bonus sheet]] in the regular [[Play Booster]]s. They replace [[The List]] cards for ''Outlaws of Thunder Junction''.<ref name="MATretrospective">{{YouTubeRef|LdQvmxffjX4|Epilogue on Epilogue|creator=[[Blake Rasmussen]], [[Max McCall]], [[Zakeel Gordon]]|channel=Magic: The Gathering|date=February 13, 2024}}</ref> Cards from ''The Big Score'' retain their unique set symbol, set code (BIG), and a unique [[showcase]] [[card frame]] {{-}} the "Vault" frame. [[Special Guests]] cards share the vault frame treatment. A further legacy of the original plan to be released in an Epilogue Booster is that all 30 of ''The Big Score'' cards are [[Standard]] legal. ====Special Guests==== ''Outlaws of Thunder Junction'' features 10 [[Special Guests]] (SPG #29-38). These are incorporated in [[The List]] of the [[Play Booster]]s and may be played in [[Limited]] games. You'll find a non-foil Special Guests card in 1 out of 64 Play Boosters. Traditional foil Special Guests cards can be found in Collector Boosters. {{columns-list|colwidth=15em| *{{card|Stoneforge Mystic||SPG}} *{{card|Brazen Borrower||SPG}} *{{card|Port Razer||SPG}} *{{card|Desert||SPG}} *{{card|Prismatic Vista||SPG}} *{{card|Mystic Snake||SPG}} *{{card|Morbid Opportunist||SPG}} *{{card|Notion Thief||SPG}} *{{card|Desertion||SPG}} *{{card|Scapeshift||SPG}} }} ====The List==== You'll find cards from [[The List]] more frequently in ''Outlaws of Thunder Junction'' Play Boosters than in ''[[Murders at Karlov Manor]]'' Play Boosters. You can find a card from The List in 1 out of 5 Play Boosters. The List for OTJ has 40 cards: 30 cards from ''[[The Big Score]]'' and the 10 Special Guests.<ref>{{DailyRef|announcements/whats-new-on-the-list-for-outlaws-of-thunder-junction|What's New on The List for ''Outlaws of Thunder Junction''|Wizards of the Coast|April 5, 2024}}</ref> ====Events==== *[[Prerelease]]: April 12–18, 2024<ref>{{DailyRef|announcements/where-to-play-outlaw-of-thunder-junctions-for-fun-and-promo-cards|Whre to Plat ''Outlaws of Thunder Junction'' for Fun and Promo Cards|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|March 26, 2024}}</ref> *[[MTG Arena]] release: April 16, 2024 *[[Open House]]: April 19–21, 2024 *[[Commander Party]]: April 26 – May 2, 2024 *[[Store Championship]]: May 4–12, 2024 *[[Friday Night Magic]]: April 19 – July 19, 2024 *[[Standard Showdown]]: April 19 – July 25, 2024 ====Promos==== *[[Prerelease card|Prerelease]]: a stamped card that can be any rare or mythic rare of ''Outlaws of Thunder Junction''. **The seasonal dark-frame promos are: {{card|Frontier Seeker||OTJ|#=368}}, {{card|Scorching Shot||OTJ|#=369}}, {{card|Honest Rutstein||OTJ|#=370}}, {{card|Make Your Own Luck||OTJ|#=371}}, {{card|Ruthless Lawbringer||OTJ|#=372}}. *[[Buy-a-Box]]: alternate art {{card|Magda, the Hoardmaster||OTJ|#=374}}. *[[Open House]]: Retro frame {{card|Diabolic Tutor||PW24}}.<ref name="OTJ promos">{{WebRef|url=https://wpn.wizards.com/en/news/outlaws-of-thunder-junction-events-and-promos-overview|title=Outlaws of Thunder Junction Events & Promos Overview|author=[[WPN]]|date=March 27, 2024|publisher=[[Wizards Play Network]]}}</ref> *[[Bundle]] promo: alternate art {{card|The Key to the Vault||OTJ|#=373}}. *[[Store Championship]]: {{card|Blazing Rootwalla||SCH}} (participation), {{card|Hollow One||SCH}} (Top 8), full art [[textless]] {{card|Vengevine||SCH}} (winner).<ref name="OTJ promos"/> *[[Commander Party]]: [[retro frame]] {{card|Costly Plunder||PW24}}.<ref name="OTJ promos"/> *"Get the Gang Together" in-store promotion: alternate art {{Card|Oltec Matterweaver||PW24}} and {{card|Transmutation Font||PW24}}.<ref name="OTJ promos"/> *[[Standard Showdown]]: five cards with ''[[Wikipedia:Cowboy Bebop|Cowboy Bebop]]'' crossover art: {{card|Ossification||PCBB}}, {{card|Disdainful Stroke||PCBB}}, {{card|Go for the Throat||PCBB}}, {{card|Lightning Strike||PCBB}} and {{card|Snakeskin Veil||PCBB}}.<ref>{{WebRef|url=https://mtg-jp.com/otj-anime/|title=Cowboy Bebop promotion|date=April 19, 2024|publisher=Magic: the Gathering Japan}}</ref><ref>{{YouTubeRef|2KcFKj14cYo|[JP Official] Cowboy Bebop x Magic: The Gathering Opening Homage Trailer|channel=Wizardsmtgjp|date=April 19, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{DailyRef|announcements/announcing-cowboy-bebop-collaboration-promo-cards|Announcing Cowboy Bebop Promo Cards|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|April 22, 2024}}</ref>
