The MTG Outlaws of Thunder Junction release is finally upon us, but that doesn’t mean the hype train has died down just yet. As revealed today on the TCG’s official Japanese Twitter page, there’s even more treasure in the Fomori vaults of Thunder Junction than we initially thought. To celebrate the release of the latest expansion, MTG is collaborating with Cowboy Bebop to bring some bold play mats and card sleeves inspired by the space western anime.
Thankfully, even fans outside of Japan can enjoy the funkytrailerfor the set that makes a very clear homage to the Cowboy Bebop anime opening. The promo features Oko, Vraska, Radkos, Tiny Bones, and Kellan running, posing, and generally looking cool while set to the rambunctious big band tune ‘Tank!’. Thanks to the contributions of creatives who have been credited on anime series like Jujutsu Kaisen, this trailer has an impressively high-production feel and is super faithful to its source material.Although, it does kind of crack me up that the shots of spaceships are replaced with those of a horse and cart or Oko zooming away on an elk. For comedy gold like that, I almost forgive MTG Japan for not sharing the crossover with the rest of us.
