MTG Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander decklists

Yuma, Stella Lee, Olivia, and Gonti from Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander .

Sifting through the Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander deck list is the perfect way to jump into Magic: The Gathering’s new Wild West-themed set. While Magic is one of the undisputed best card games, it can be a tad frustrating keeping up with new drops and figuring out exactly what’s worth adding to your collection.

To help, we’ve compiled the full card list for all four Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander decks so you can get a clear picture of what’s included in each. There’s more to choosing and mastering a deck than just knowing what cards are in it. The best Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander decks all have distinct archetypes that reward particular playstyles.

It’s also worth remembering that preconstructed commander decks can also benefit significantly from upgrades. Customizing your decks is an important part of learning how to play MTG Commander effectively. So, while the deck lists below show what you’re initially buying, they might not be what you wind up playing with. 

Outlaws of Thunder Junction Desert Bloom decklist

Desert Bloom has a little more mana than average for a 100-card deck. This land-heavy card spread makes a lot of sense given that the face Commander (Yuma, Proud Protector) offers you the chance to sacrifice land to draw a card and create creature tokens. Of course, more land means more opportunity to send them to your graveyard.

Outlaws of Thunder Junction Quick Draw decklist

Quick Draw has a larger than average pool of instants and sorceries, and once you check out the deck’s face Commander (Stella Lee, Wild Card) that starts to make a whole lot of sense. She rewards you for casting more than one spell on your turn so it’s valuable to have plenty of (often low-cost) instants and sorceries in your deck to take advantage of that.

Outlaws of Thunder Junction Grand Larceny decklist

While the face Commander (Gonti, Canny Acquistor) incentivizes casting cards you don’t own, you’re certainly not lacking spells of your own. Grand Larceny still provides you an ample army of 36 creature cards, giving you lots of opportunities to have them damage players and set Gonti’s activated ability into play.

Most Wanted, as well as having a whole load of artifact cards, contains 33 creatures which are almost all Outlaws of some kind (Assassin, Mercenary, Rogue, Pirate, or Warlock).
