Wizards of the Coast has announced thatMagic: The Gathering’sFalloutcrossover will officially launch on March 8, 2024.
Magic: The Gathering - Falloutis part ofMagic’sUniverses Beyondcollection and will celebrate elements of every title since 1997, representing “the first ‘modern view’ of some of the classicFalloutgames, including updates to characters and settings fromFalloutandFallout2.
“We hope to pay homage toFallout’s high-energy, high-action, post-nuclear RPG roots. Whether you join the side of some ofFallout’s most infamous characters or choose to play as a Vault survivor fighting gangs of raiders, super-mutants, irradiated monsters, and pre-war robots, life in the wastes won’t be easy,” Wizards of the Coast said.
There will be four Commander decks on release, each themed to key elements of the Fallout series - Survival, Technology, Military, and Mutants - and each deck features a face card of an iconic character representative of their respective theme -Dogmeat, Dr. Madison Li, Caesar, and Mothman. The four decks on offer are known asScrappy Survivors, Science!, Hail, Ceasar, andMutant Menace.
Commander is a popular and accessibleMagic: The Gatheringformat, where players face off in large-scale multiplayer duels.
As the name implies,Scrappy Survivorshas you build up a collection of useful Junk cards, whileScience!has you build up reserves of energy to power game-changing abilities. Meanwhile,Hail, Ceasarbuilds an expendable army of soldiers who can be sacrificed for additional benefits under the watchful eye of neo-Roman dictator Ceasar fromFallout: New Vegas. Lastly,Mutant Menaceboasts a range of horrors, all of which benefit from a radiation effect that the deck can inflict.
Additionally, there will also be Saga cards available which “tell the stories of the atom-punk, alternate reality America” as well as Pip-Boy framed cards which can be collected in the main Commander decks. There’s also a collection of borderless Vault Boy cards in the Fallout art style that can be found in Collector Boosters.
