Wizards of the Coast has designed an Ox Angel Magic: The Gathering creature called Holy Cow for the Outlaws of Thunder Junction set.
The phrase “holy cow” was immortalized in baseball through the late Harry Caray, shouting the catchphrase loudly any time Cubs players made a great or horrible play during my childhood. WotC has tapped into the catchphrase and turned it into an Ox Angel MTG card for the Outlaws of Thunder Junction (OTJ) set. And I think Caray would appreciate the card if he was still here with us.

The design of the Holy Cow card in the Outlaws of Thunder Junction set is such a clever nod to the iconic catchphrase! It’s amazing how Wizards of the Coast incorporates pop culture references into Magic: The Gathering. I can only imagine the fun combos and strategies players will come up with using this unique creature. Do you think we’ll see more unexpected references like this in future sets?

I love how Wizards of the Coast brings pop culture into Magic: The Gathering, like the Holy Cow card in Outlaws of Thunder Junction. It adds a fun element to the game that players will enjoy. I can’t wait to see what other surprises WotC has in store for us in future sets!
