Outlaws of Thunder Junction (2024)
Outlaws of Thunder Junction was a Magic: The Gathering set released in April of 2024. The set marked a major tonal shift for the game as it created a Western-Inspired setting within its existing high fantasy world. I was brought in as a member of the creative text team to pitch card names and flavor text (italicized text at the bottom of individual cards used to flesh out the world and its characters.)
This was my first time working with Wizards of the Coast in this capacity and it was a real joy to get to help bring so many of Magic’s most iconic characters in an unfamiliar setting.
The set featured the end of a yearlong story arc alongside a more playful and lighthearted take on the Wild West. While the creative text teams are very collaborative, I’ve selected a handful of cards that prominently feature my work. You can peruse through them by clicking HERE.
