Outlaws of Thunder Junction Opinions

Unrelated to the project, but related to mtg. Even though no one asked for it, I am very opinionated and thus, here we are.

That is my warning.

Blatant Lies from Customer Eyes

When we were introduced to the plane, we were told that it was devoid of life, at least sentient/sapient life.

Turns out that literal cactus men (should've been called cactuskin rather than cactusfolk, feels more prickly as a term to me, but that is unrelated) don't count as life. 'Oh, the people migrating to the plane didn't know' but guess who does know, the people making the game and going 'there is no life on Thunder Junction'.

Maro said something along the lines of 'every character there has a reason to be there even if not mentioned on cards or in the story'. No, that isn't how that works, if we don't see it, it doesn't actually exist. Multiple of the characters which have no reason to be on the plane are simply there because they are wanted to be there, not because it makes sense (rich coming from me, I know).

The story can't change

Jace and Vraska are uncompleted, which makes no sense, the had a significant portion of their bodies replaced with machinery. I have no issue with their minds coming back, but their bodies shouldn't come back, Jace using illusions to cover it so they appear normal is fine to me. To my knowledge btw, Jace's nervous system should be fucked along with Vraska's lower body and 'hair'. As far as I'm aware, Jace's mother isn't a literal god and is closer to a normal doctor, so they should both be omega dead with that logic of 'she gave them surgery'.

They should not be okay by any stretch of the imagination.

Speaking of Phyrexians, there is no remnants of Phyrexians on this plane, not even a field of rusted/decaying centurions, March of the Machines basically never happened except for the blurb mentioned on Eldraine of the sleeping curse.

Timeline Inconsistencies

The Atiim, a new nomadic people, are mentioned to have been on a number of planes before coming to Thunder Junction. I am making the assumption that the time between planes has become unified because there would be 'void omenpaths' where people enter but never exit due to being slower time on the other side. Which, unlike planeswalking time shenanigans, gets messy when everywhere is connected. As such, how many planes could these people have gone to when the omenpaths have only been around for about a year, maybe two. Like, the flavor text feels like it heavily implies that they know what they are doing hopping plane to plane as a group, moving around once, maybe twice or even thrice a year (one mentions 'a few seasons' as a frame of reference for how long they will stay at most). So like...when did they get their expertise? Where they a group of Planeswalkers who got desparked? That would help, but I do not understand that to be the case.

Missed Opportunities

In my humble opinion (humble because it doesn't matter, not because I myself am humble) there were two large missed opportunities.

The first, Jace and Vraska being uncompleated. It would be infinitely more interesting if they were compleated and seeking a way to New Phyrexia with this whole thing, their personalities slightly warped, using Jace's illusion magic to make them appear uncompleated in most situations, but still being compleated. Gives a better reason for this convoluted plot than 'I want to be able to go wherever I want and bring my girlfriend with me'. Though, that's fine, I just think it would be more interesting if they were evil for a while, avoiding walkers that could cure them (by stopping being walkers). Like, this mostly comes from 'cutting off norn stopped phyrexians' which I stand by is dumb, but this could've worked since the walkers were always more independent than actual phyrexians.

The second, was adding mystery to this card:

Change the name to something like 'Mind's Fear' or something and change the type to Jace Ashiok or Ashiok Jace, and finally, make the Jace half the completed version of him. That way he could look like CJace or Ashiok in the story with the logic of 'Ashiok is using the multiverse's fear of one of the most powerful compleated walkers who got away' or 'Jace is masquerading as Ashiok'. The mystery won't last obviously, but that would be a far cooler story beat, two walkers who would be equally bad to encounter and both being capable of masquerading as the other.

The Good

I like Jace and Vraska being an item, just feels correct given the obscene amount of time we've had 'will they won't they'.

I like the Formeri being a big thing.

I like that Loot, the Omenport, and the plane being named Thunder Junction, all imply that Omenpaths may have existed during the Coin Empire.

I really like the potential I see and that we will probably see some Formori in the sci-fi set.

But

I am extremely concerned that they will fumble the potential very hard as they did with WAR and MOM. It feels like they are doing things in the story 'because I said so' rather than 'because it could make sense'. Like, they sprint to the finish line of a plot and it has no lasting ramifications.

I'm not adding tags to these whenever I do them, but feel free to reblog with tags to have other people see this if you agree, or even if you disagree I guess. I may do this again if I feel strongly on another set, likely the conclusion ones because that seems to be where I feel strong feelings (strong feelings at how it wasn't a good conclusion recently).

[plantkinsuggestion]

hi.. uhh.. idk if it's the best place for that but i need help because i think i might be cactus kin because i feel a strong connection to cactus but i don't really know if it's true... i'm afraid because i don't want to be fake... ;;

It could be possible you are synpath with cacti.(Strong connection to something) :)

Here are some questions you could ask yourself to help you sort things out:

1. How do I feel when I am around this plant? (In your case, cacti) Do I feel as if they are me? Do I feel as if they are very similar to me (like relatives)?

If you are witchcraft inclined there are maybe some spells that could help you. Energy work wise, you could try an energy scan or something similar.

2. How long have I felt this way? Is it a very strong feeling, or does it vary somewhat but not go away completely?

3. Have I had a while to reflect on my feelings, meditate, etc.

This isn’t a question, but maybe try owning a cacti and taking care of it and see how that makes you feel.

I hope this helps some!
