Every preconstructed deck includes both original cards and reprints of older cards. The reprints found in the Outlaws Of Thunder Junction decks are varied. Some of the reprints are nothing special due to low value or power, but other reprints are seeing their first reprint since their original printing and are great for many decks while being easily accessible.

10 Pongify

Monkeying Around With Removal

Pongify is one of the best removal spells available in mono blue. It destroys a creature and replaces it with a 3/3 Ape token, all for one mana to make it easy to cast at any point. While the token it leaves behind has decent stats, this is worth it when you get rid of a much more problematic creature.

Due to its power, Pongify often holds a higher price tag despite having multiple reprints. Prior to Outlaws Of Thunder Junction, Pongify hadn't seen a printing since 2021's Time Spiral Remastered.

9 Rousing Refrain

Never-Ending Show

For storm decks, Rousing Refrain is a great ritual that has the potential of giving you seven mana for only five, though if an opponent has more than seven cards in hand this number can get much higher. Even suspending it for two is a solid choice.

What makes Rousing Refrain so good, is that you can keep using it. After casting it, in three turns you can cast it again. If you have ways to get time counters off of it outside of your upkeep, then you make use of it much quicker than normal.

8 Oracle Of Mul Daya

Play Lands Everywhere

Oracle Of Mul Daya hasn't seen too many printings, and due to its utility, it has a higher-than-average price tag, making the Outlaws Of Thunder Junction reprint very welcomed. If you're playing a deck built around lands, you will want Oracle Of Mul Daya in it.

This card gives you constant information on what the next draw you're drawing is, and allows you to ramp quicker with extra lands every turn. It does cost four mana which is a lot, but in ramp decks you can get that much mana on the battlefield rather easily.

7 Shark Typhoon

Flying Sharks Everywhere

Prior to Outlaws Of Thunder Junction, Shark Typhoon hasn't seen a printing since its original release in 2020's Ikoria: Lair Of Behemoths (excluding one Secret Lair printing). Shark Typhoon is a staple of control decks in the Pioneer format, so having another way to get the card is great for players of that format.

Keep your spell-slinging finger on the trigger in Magic: The Gathering's Quick Draw Commander deck.

It's rare to hard cast Shark Typhoon as you usually cycle for a token, but if you do, you are rewarded with flying Shark tokens whenever you cast a noncreature. This can quickly get out of hand in spellslinger decks.

6 Mind's Dilation

Casting Your Opponent's Spells

Mind's Dilation is one of the cards seeing its first non-Secret Lair reprint. Before Outlaws Of Thunder Junction, Mind's Dilation hasn't been printed since its first set appearance in 2016 in the Eldritch Moon set.

While it costs a lot of mana to cast, there are various ways to cheat it onto the battlefield to get around the mana cost. It's worth investing in, as you have the potential to cast a ton of extra spells every turn so long as you don't hit a land card from its effect.

5 Breena, The Demagogue

The Grouphug Bird

Breena, The Demagogue was once the face commander of its own Commander pre-constructed deck Silverquill Statement, and its appearance in Outlaws Of Thunder Junction's Most Wanted deck marks its second printing.

Breena, The Demagogue is a great card, encouraging your opponents to attack each other as that will let them draw a card and if they do that, you get to spread +1/+1 counters to a creature to slowly build up power on your side of the battlefield. The effect triggers if you attack your opponent with more health than another, so you don't even need to rely on your opponents for it to trigger.

4 Bloodthirsty Adversary

Mono Red Staple

Bloodthirsty Adversary is a staple of the Mono Reg Aggro Standard deck, and has grown a higher price tag because of it. The card prior to Outlaws Of Thunder Junction only had its original printing in Innistrad: Midnight Hunt in 2021.

Nothing quite matches the warm, safe feeling you get from Magic: The Gathering's pillow fort cards.

If you have mana to dump into Bloodthirsty Adversary, it has the potential to cast an excess of spells with mana value three or less. Since Bloodthirsty Adversary is played in decks with a low mana curve generally, the extra mana you can spend to cast it lets you replay your best spells.

3 Command Beacon

Call Your Commander

If your commander has a high casting cost due to commander tax, Command Beacon is one of the best lands you can be playing in your deck. You can sacrifice it to put your commander directly into your hand, where you won't have to pay the tax even if it gets removed since it was never cast from the command zone.

Command Beacon is also great for cheating out your commander. Most ways to get creatures onto the battlefield without spending mana do so by using cards in the hand, so pairing these with this card is fantastic synergy.

2 Ancient Greenwarden

Land Doubling

Many cards care about lands entering the battlefield, such as cards with landfall, so Ancient Greenwarden is a fantastic choice in decks utilizing cards with that ability. It also allows you to play lands from your graveyard, letting you re-use lands like fetchlands or playing lands after you cycle them away.

Ancient Greenwarden is one of the costly cards included in Outlaws Of Thunder Junction's Commander decks. It only had one previous appearance in 2020's Zendikar Rising where it was a mythic rare, making it harder to obtain originally.

1 Veyran, Voice Of Duality

Double Trigger Spells

Veyran, Voice Of Duality made its original appearance in the Prismari Performance Commander deck, which is a spellslinger deck just like Quick Draw. Prior to Quick Draw, Prismari Command was the only way to get Veyran. Due to its power, Veyran had a rather high price tag, so its reprint in Quick Draw is a very welcomed addition to the deck.

Veyran, Voice Of Duality grows in stats, but its main attraction is its triggered ability doubling. There are many cards that have effects that trigger when instants or sorceries are cast, so Veyran, Voice Of Duality has plenty of decks it slots into.
