It’s a truth universally acknowledged that people on the internet will find hot fictional characters to simp over, and MTG Outlaws of Thunder Junction proves that characters who lean to the dark side (like Resident Evil: Village’s Lady Dimitrescu and Baldur's Gate 3’s Astarion) are particularly adept at capturing hearts.
As one of the best card games, it’s not too surprising that Magic: The Gathering would have its own contribution to this trend. Set on a Wild-West inspired plane, the upcoming MTG Outlaws of Thunder Junction will feature a whole host of plane-travelling cowboys who don’t mind getting their hands dirty in the pursuit of fortune – and at the centre of this band is the legendary planeswalker Oko, the Ringleader, who promises to be the “baddest outlaw of them all.” Thanks to his chiselled torso and handsome face, Magic: The Gathering fans think he’s bad in a whole other sense.
