In fo2 a game made by interplay in the 90's gave a handshake to mtg as in the video game of fallout 2 you could collect "tragic the gathering" cards and play with the ghouls

Please do a shuffle up and play episode with a 40k, a fallout, a Dr. Who, and a LOTR commander deck vs eachother. I want to see a table top game, vs a video game, vs a TV show, vs a book all in a card game.

[@iaquobe]

I stopped playing and keeping up with magic a few years ago. What the hell happened to this game???

[@KnicKnac]

They opened the forbidden doors and added a lot of IPs to the game. Some good some bad. It just depends on your flavor of tea.

[@iaquobe]

@@KnicKnac yeah I mean it's personal taste and I'm not going to judge others for theres. But to me the direction the game has taken is disgusting. What happened to all the lore? to all the interconnected universes? Now you have Dr. Who fornite dancing on his enemy to get intimidate so that gandalf cannot block unless he drinks a nuka cola

[@KnicKnac]

@@iaquobe True. I miss the lore books they used to put in Fat Packs. I don't mind certain IPs like D&D or 40K since some do fit, but of course not for everyone. I haven't played in years, but I enjoy the art I'm seeing. That is what I've been enjoying.

[@melvinwessel]

Perfect idea

I hadn't even considered the idea of casting Radstorm on an opponents turn after they've cast a bunch of spells. And I liked it plenty to begin with

The bit about the constant skyrim re-releases is my favorite part.

[@localcrow]

"Now Skyrim is here for Magic the gathering....What? that's next year."

[@gronizherz3603]

I have yet to play any Skyrim but the original 2011 version (with DLC), because it feels like the main reason they feel it's alright to keep re-releasing is people who keep buying the re-releases instead of holding out until they actually make a new game :P

I'm just happy that The Master got a good card. The OG villain getting a good card was exciting as hell. Same with ED-E.

[@Tikomer]

Unfortunately the ED-E card is trash. They did my boy dirty :(

I'm excited to build him. Intruder Alarm and Altar of the Brood is the main combo.

[@joshwagner9519]

The flavor accuracy on these cards is staggering. They did my boys ed-e and Boone right.

@joshwagner9519 it was really weird though that they didn't give ED-E any pay off for the quest counters.

[@atingley0913]

Just imagine if they did a Skyrim Universes Beyond! It'd get reprinted every year for over a decade!

I'd rather hope for all the Elder Scrolls games, rather than just the fifth one. I do mean all of them too, similar to how this Fallout set has everything except for BOS.

"Loves Bethesda games" proceeds to name three Fallout games not developed by Bethesda. Kind of a perfect analysis of Bethesda who haven't made anything good since Skyrim.

[@UNIVERSESBEYOND]

Hahah good spot!

[@LordofBroccoli]

I would argue people only regard Skyrim as great because of the hundreds of mods they play it with. Try playing vanilla Skyrim and players will quickly find themselves bored and annoyed with Bethesda's archaic design and shallow content. It was a solid game when it first released, but today it would've had a similar reception to Starfield.

[@AsterDXZ]

@@LordofBroccoliwhile the mods definitely gave it a lasting longevity, as someone that played the game on release it was still very solid and I would say holds up to someone who has never played the game

[@buckeyemanboy]

I’m choosing to believe he knows and this is a subtle reference to HBomberguy

[@xvexevx]

100%, I am looking at Skyrim through the goggles of the time. Looking at vanilla Skyrim through the standards of some modern games is a form of gaming presentism. You could look back and name many games that at the time were amazing and everyone would have said they were the best game of all time, but play them today and very few still hold up.@@LordofBroccoli

[@AZombieWizard]

PipBoy is gonna be great in black. Throw it on something with Shadow or Fear then get 2 uses of Cabal Coffers every turn

[@tsakowich]

Prof, i love you for picking out the best fallout games at the beginning. Im making a master deck as soon as possible.

[@themagicofmtg]

This is a fantastic list and aligns with a lot of my thoughts. That number one is an absolutely great utility card in the 99! Looking forward to seeing all the cards in action soon!

[@Veimper]

The Pip-Boy 3000 is also extremely good in Isshin's deck, since you get the attack trigger twice. So you can untap up to 4 lands with a single attack

[@TheMeditron]

Played Fallout since Fo1, was over the moon we got a Master card and he was good! Brewed him up quick!

[@dubiousbrick4483]

FO3 has a special place in my heart, i spent the most time in that wasteland ever since it introduced me to the universe in 2007. Iv played all of them and it’s still my fav, I would have liked to see more FO2 card references or more thematic decks around factions but I’m happy with what we got. I’d have loved to be able to make a Joshua Graham or Ulysses commander deck, but maybe there will be a chance for that in the future. I will display the additional decks between my mini nuke and T51 power helmet, among the memorabilia. I’m hyped

[@eldracoking5686]

I think the opening Skyrim bit was the best thing ever.

[@Skullwolf37]

I didn't think I was going to be about this set in magic, but I love fallout so much I think I'm going to need all of it

Since the Pip Boy effects are attack triggers it’ll be especially good in Isshin, Two Heavens as One and Wulfgar of Icewind Dale decks.

Rad storm is definitely something I’m adding to my Tasha deck that’s very planeswalker heavy with a few poison cards so I can add an additional win condition. It’s gonna be a great addition!

[@tnttv5360]

Radstorm will go rampage in slime against humanity twincaster decks

[@T4silly]

Really glad Bethesda gave WOTC Carte Blanche for this UB. They also did that with Modiphius for Wasteland Warfare. Fallout 3 will always be my favorite, but I was amazed to see that even Fallout Tactics got a card! (They ignored the Xbox game Brotherhood of Steel, thankfully.)

[@jmets112]

Just what we needed more proliferate cards. Make sure toxic Atraxa decks are even more insufferable then they already are.

[@cichlisuite666]

Sounds like someone needs some 1/1 counters put on them : )

[@KnicKnac]

I do like they tried for cards from all the games through the years. Some I've played and some I haven't. Just glad it has a bit of everything for those who enjoy Fallout.

Thanks for doing this, Prof - you have some good takes here. I love when nerdoms collide. Very excited to get into these cards for Commander.

[@freitasmano1]

If prof prophecy of elder scrolls universes beyond comes true I would love living tribunal deck with Sotha Sil, Almolexia and lord Viveec

[@Momo_pstat4]

I was happy to see this set had a lot of equipment support, but i was looking for better cards outside of white. Plus, aside maybe codsworth, none of the cards seem fast enough to do much outside casual (which i was looking for higher powered cards for voltron…). As for casual though… nerd rage is an overlooked card it seems, but i have a deck that absolutely loves this card, and i would find it hard to believe that this effect isnt desired

[@nextgenwarrior]

Won an Amazon gift card from work, preordered the set of 4 with it. Huge fan of the franchise, looking forward to the decks. Gonna store them in my Fallout 4 pipboy box.

0:26 Depends on what Bethesda you’re referring to. The publisher is Softworks, the developer is Game Studios. If you’re referring to the people who made FO3/4, Elder Scrolls, and Starfield, you mean Bethesda Game Studios.

[@Welverin]

0:53 My friend tells me you left out the Amazon Echo version. No, I did not know that was a thing either.

[@michaelnovak3417]

Eh, I put my money on 1 copy of 'wild wasteland'. I like the thought of playing it with 'symbiotic deployment' and 'ensnaring bridge. Both of them together kinda works around the skip your draw step disadvantage.

As someone whose favorite mechanic is Dredge I think it should be called the Dredge Scale now. 2 original printings of Dredge cards since original Ravnica block. Meanwhile Storm gets 9...

[@michaelsinnreich6626]

Exceptional writing this episode.

[@YugmasterJeff]

My biggest issue with this set are the ghoul characters are sub-typed as zombies. Ghouls are not zombies, especially Hancock and Raul. It would be pretty offensive to call these ghouls zombies in their universe because it's just a reflection of how they look. Feels like who designed these cards didn't really understand ghouls or their lore.

[@ExtraVictory]

That was great, but as a YGO player i feel we can complain about nothing even _more_ diligently next time

[@mage189]

It's actually something to be excited for! Wish there wasn't like so many fallout 4/76 cards but who cares when they actually look fun to play. Can't wait to have to pay $400 for the set for no reason!

[@sstankfish]

I haven't purchased any MtG since MOM, but WotC hit their target audience with me. I preordered these decks the minute I had the opportunity. I

[@christhompson8003]

An alternative idea they could have gone with. Slim down how many different universes beyonds they do but ramp up how many cards are in those sets using more existing cards but with alternative names. That way they almost become their own IP or format that could easily be excluded from other formats if needed. Could you imagine if they had done the same for Dr who as they did for LotR. Same with fall out, its such a vast story that there will be lots of missed oportunities. Fewer different sets but better quality and easyer to manage.

[@mawtaus]

There are a bunch of cards in this set that almost feel like they're in the "wrong" precon. For example, Ruthless Radrat is in the Caesar deck (because it has Squad) but it's a Mutant that wants a lot of cards in the graveyard which feels more appropriate for the Mothman deck. Makes me wonder if they were originally intending this to be more like LotR with a fully draftable set as well as the precons.

[@smashbreault4051]

There was a mardu deck I wanted to build. When I saw the mardu precon for fallout, it had a ton of cards I was already considering. So it felt fone to pick up the precon since in this situation.

[@inkliizii]

I'm thinking about finally building my Alesha deck, and I'm considering just buying the Mardu Fallout deck to start with. I was going through the various Fallout cards that I would like for that deck, and almost all of them are from the same precon, unsurprisingly. Especially since so many of the Fallout cards are both really good, fit the theme, and will presumably be difficult to get otherwise. In your opinion, is it worth just buying the precon, rather than singles, if I need enough of the cards? It's really hard to judge whether it's actually cheaper, since the cards are still on preorder, so the prices are going to go down considerably, but based on the current tcgplayer prices, just 8 of the cards that I want add up to >$70! (MacCready, Battle for Hoover Dam, ED-E, Vault 75, Commander Sofia Daguerre, V.A.T.S., Skullclamp, and Wild Wasteland, btw)

Looking forward to the Skyrim bonus sheet in Return to Kaldheim next year

So you have to be able to play the effect sound when you play V.A.T.S or it’s a flavor fail.

[@LostLandsLife]

Skyrim would be such a cool crossover. Dont lie like that.

[@penguindrummer252]

This is not intended as a flavor critique but it's funny that one of the choices Pip-Boy 3000 gives you is a purely numerical increase to your creature's stats when perks in the Fallout franchise have always been lauded for their more involved impact on gameplay and roleplaying than just a number going up.

[@magnusprime962]

True, but stats are important, especially in the first two games. In the first one there’s a way to talk down the final boss provided you have a high enough charisma score

I think Nuka-Cola Vending Machine is amazing, especially in decks with Academy Manufactor.
