Welcome to the wild and lawless frontier of Magic: The Gathering’s “Outlaws of Thunder Junction” Commander precon deck series! In this installment, we’re saddling up with the notorious Olivia, Opulent Outlaw, as our commander, ready to rustle up some high-stakes action on the battlefield. Embracing the rugged spirit of old America’s western outlaws, this deck invites you to ride alongside Olivia as she leads a band of misfits, thieves, and gunslingers in a quest for dominance.
With nine carefully selected upgrades and nine strategic cuts, we’re aiming to enhance both the thematic and mechanical synergy of this deck, transforming it into a formidable force that’ll have your opponents running for cover faster than a tumbleweed in a dust storm. So holster your spells and sharpen your wits, because we’re about to embark on an unforgettable journey through the untamed wilderness of Thunder Junction!
Agadeem’s Awakening / Agadeem the Undercrypt: The opportunity cost of adding a powerful modal double-faced spell/land like Agadeem’s Awakening is almost zero and in his case, the spell side is really strong with a deck full of small to medium-sized “outlaws” to bring back fro a second act.
Black Market Connections: This card feels like a PERFECT fit for this deck. Not only is it a re-occurring way to generate treasures, but it provides you with a supply of outlaws to trigger Olivia’s ability as well as providing some much-needed card draw so you don’t run out of gas.
Braids, Arisen Nightmare: If you can keep creating expendable creatures or artifacts, Braids becomes a great way to cut down on your opponent’s threats as well as provides you with occasional card draw!
Dauthi Voidwalker: A nice hard-to-block outlaw that also provides you with a powerful late-game ability.
Flawless Maneuver: Flawless Maneuver is solid in any creature-heavy deck and to no surprise, it’s a great fit here as well.
Lotho, Currupt Shirriff: I really like Lothi in this deck. Not only does it provide a cheap outlaw, but it also gives you a treasure-producer on a body that your opponents are not likely to waste removal on later in the game.
Ragavan, Nimble Piferer: To nobody’s surprise, Ragavan is good in any deck that has access to red mana. That said, the monkey pirate feels like an ideal fit in Olivia’s band of thieving outlaws!
Sword of Wealth and Power: This deck is all about using wealth (treasure) to gain power (+1/+1 counters). So why not include a powerful sword that helps us accomplish both?
Torment of Hailfire: Torment of Hailfire provides us with an insanely powerful way to leverage our large collection of treasure tokes that we’ve amassed throughout the late-game and give sus a clean way to close out our opponents.
