It’s been under a week since the release of the Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander decks, but you can already grab them at a significant discount. On Amazon right now, you can add one of these precons to your collection for $39.99, down from its RRP of $47.30. Alternatively, if you have your eye on all four decks, you can secure a Commander bundle for $139.99, bringing the price per deck down to around $34.
As with any new Magic set, Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander decks are the best way to dive into the new theming and mechanics. Not just because they chuck a whole pile of new cards at you (which they certainly do) but because while MTG has been one of the most popular games for the last three decades, the Commander format is a particular favorite among players. In my mind, Quick Draw, Desert Bloom, Grand Larceny, and Most Wanted are all in the running for best precon. Thankfully, there really isn’t a particular ‘dud’ among these precons so you can’t go too far wrong no matter which one you land on buying.
Besides, with savings like these, you could redirect your funds into treating yourself to a miniature of Loot, Thunder Junction’s de facto mascot. That said, I do find Loot hideous and adorable in equal measure, so I’m honestly a little conflicted on whether he’d be better served as a treasured dice-guarding companion or a dog’s chew toy. Eh, I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.
