You can't make a fortune without breaking a few rules. At least, that's what an outlaw would say! Outlaw is a new game term that refers to any card with the Assassin, Mercenary, Pirate, Rogue, or Warlock creature type.
View all 13 Outlaw cardsWhat goes great with outlaws? Crime, of course! Whether it's a simple robbery or an elaborate heist, a haul is a haul at the end of the day. Crime does pay in Thunder Junction—just make sure you're the one getting paid!
View all 26 Crime cardsIf you're getting ready to pull off a heist, you'll need to concoct a plot. You can pay a card's plot cost, exile that card, and then cast it on a later turn without paying its mana cost.

To activate a saddle ability, tap untapped creatures you control (other than the Mount itself) with total power greater than or equal to the number after saddle. When that ability resolves, the creature becomes saddled until end of turn. What that means exactly varies from creature to creature. Many Mounts have a triggered ability that triggers whenever it attacks while saddled.

Don't give anyone time to dissect your plan; get everything done in a spree! Spells with spree have a base cost as well as multiple additional costs, each of which is associated with a specific effect.
