Fallout is a franchise that, at a certain point, seemed destined to disappear from the face of the earth. While today it seems impossible, before Fallout 3, and certainly before Fallout 4, the franchise and the entire genre that went with it did not seem to live the best time to continue forward. Today, however, its future seems assured. That we will have a Fallout 5 is a fact, although we will have to wait a long time before that happens. But in the meantime, we will be able to enjoy its cards.
Many of you may be confused now, but you shouldn’t be. Everything has an explanation. In this case, that the upcoming Magic: The Gathering Beyond the Multiverse collection, where all the cards Wizards of the Coast makes from third-party licenses are grouped together, is going to get really post-apocalyptic. As it will invite us to visit the Fallout Wasteland.
This collection will be composed of four Commander decks based around four themes represented by four mythical characters of the franchise. Focusing especially on modern Fallout.
What are the available decks? On the one hand, we have the Peleones Survivors deck, with Meatball as its commander, focused on finding resources in your deck to win the game. On the other hand, the Science! deck is based on artifacts and generating a resource class called Energy to beat your opponents thanks to the power of… yes, science! If you are more expeditious, you will be more interested in Hail, Caesar, a deck that seeks to generate resources by attacking opponents and sacrificing their own units. And if your thing is weird, Mutant Threats offers you to play The Wise Mothman and win over your enemies by using radiation counters and putting lots of mutants and radiated objects on the table.
Of course, this is nothing more than the surface of what this Fallout set for Magic: The Gathering has to offer. All of the cards make references to characters or events from the video games, with many nods to Pip Boy and the Nuka Cola, as well as a special, borderless, Vault Boy-style card treatment. Beware though, these will only be available in collector’s packs.
At the moment we have only been able to see a small glimpse of the collection, but you can see all the cards that have been shown to us so far in this gallery. To get the cards in your decks you will have to wait until March 8, when you will be able to visit the Wasteland again, this time anchored to what your mana and steals offer you.
