Welcome back, Dear Reader, to my ongoing log of personal, hobby, and competitive progress for Warhammer 40,000. Last time around I talked about my trip to England and my time at the Oxford GT.

Outlaws of Thunder Junction introduced a whole bunch of new mechanics, including the new "Outlaw" supertype for creatures, allowing us to play around with creature typing combinations outside of the traditional typal deck synergies. What if we decided to focus on synergies of both Outlaws and a traditional creature typing? Today, we'll be looking at a reconstruction of the Most Wanted decklist, helmed by Olivia, Opulent Outlaw.
