Outlaws of Thunder Junction Removal List

This is a list of all the removal in Outlaws of Thunder Junction, divided into permanent creature removal, temporary creature removal (such as bounce, tap, and falter effects), non-creature removal, and off-battlefield removal (hand, stack, and graveyard).

• The list includes cards from The Big Score bonus sheet but not from the Breaking News bonus sheet. This is because all but six of the cards in the latter fit into at least one of the removal categories, and three of the categories would double in size.
• Unlike with the list of instant-speed tricks, I'm not listing the entire range of possible mana costs for spells with Spree, just that of the relevant removal modes.
• Archangel of Tithes isn't listed as creature removal because your opponent can pay to attack with their key attacker(s).
• Metamorphic Blast, Rooftop Assassin, and Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot are not listed as permanent creature removal because they can't kill a creature on their own. However, Metamorphic Blast is listed as temporary creature removal because it can neutralize an attacker for a turn.
• Take for a Ride is listed under both temporary and permanent creature removal. The latter mode is when it is cast at instant speed during an opponent's combat phase to borrow a creature (including one that is not attacking) and block with it.
• I'm not listing Planeswalker removal because there are only three Planeswalkers in the set (including both bonus sheets), all at Mythic.

Outlaws of Thunder Junction has a lot of good removal. However, there are also a number of creatures at Common and Uncommon that can generate card advantage, and spending one-for-one removal to neutralize them seems like a losing proposition. At the same time, there are many bombs at Rare and Mythic that I've seen single-handedly swing games, and you should try to have answers for those. Unconditional removal that is expensive doesn't make the cut in all Limited formats, but it probably will in this set. And while you need to have some cheaper removal to deal with smaller bombs and to avoid being underrun by faster decks, you may not want to overload your deck with single-target removal that can only deal with smaller creatures.
