Two years ago, Wizards of the Coast released a Fallout-themed Magic expansion, and it was good. (I went bad karma and played a Caesar deck. Don’t judge me.) While it included characters and events from across the games, it came out a month before the well-loved TV series began and so didn’t feature any of the show’s cast. That’ll be rectified in a set of four “Secret Lair” drops later this month that return to the world of Fallout, one of them highlighting the stars of the TV show.
That particular drop will include cards based on The Ghoul, Maximus, and Lucy, who gets her own card as well as appearing on Spirit Mantle (emerging from the Super Duper Mart in her armored vault suit), and Pre-War Formalwear (in the chaos of the cornfield on her wedding night). Max technically gets a second appearance as well, since that’s him inside the T-60 Power Armor, which gets its own card as well.
But it’s not all TV tie-ins. There’s also a batch of five New Vegas-themed cards, with Benny, Joshua Graham, The Platinum Chip, a Custom Caravan Deck, and a Sunset Sarsaparilla Machine all included. Like a lot of the cards in Magic’s secret lairs, these are reskinned versions of existing cards, reusing their mechanics—the Sunset Sarsaparilla Machine, for instance, gives you Food tokens you can turn into Treasure just like the Nuka-Cola Vending Machine from the main Fallout set.
