Magic: The Gathering’s mega-popular Universes Beyond collection has already traveled the cosmos with Doctor Who, waged battle across Middle-earth in search of the One Ring, and dropped in on a few rounds of Fortnite. Now the original trading card game arrives in the Wasteland with four Fallout-themed decks for the multiplayer Commander format, along with some amazing reprints and alternate art treatments waiting inside Collector Boosters.
Publisher Wizards of the Coast revealed the new cards during its Weekly MTG streaming program on Tuesday. The biggest reveal is the return of Ravages of War, an older Magic card that takes the nuclear option by destroying every land on the table — even your own! There’s also a fancy new Sol Ring, always good for two colorless mana, that comes emblazoned with the Pip-Boy himself. We’ve included several dozen more previews below:
The bulk of the reveals are for Commander, a multiplayer format with decks that include 99 cards assembled around a singular leader. According to lead designer Annie Sardelis, these four Fallout decks have been created with some very different playstyles in mind. Full reveals are planned for each decklist between now and launch on March 8.
Scrappy Survivors is an aura- and equipment-heavy deck that includes fan favorites like Dogmeat, the DJ Three Dog, former astronaut Sofia Daguerre, and a cameo from companion Nick Valentine.
Prices taken at time of publishing.
This deck is represented by longtime series companion and very good boy Dogmeat, with cards focused around scavenging for junk to repurpose into allies, weapons, and tools.
The Science! deck’s face card is Dr. Madison Li. Expect this artifact-heavy deck to generate lots of energy that can be used to power creatures or draw additional cards. It also includes a Saga card, a multi-step style of card that will play a pivotal role in bringing some of Fallout’s many questlines to life.
Prices taken at time of publishing.
With Fallout 3 and Fallout 4’s Dr. Madison Li serving as its Commander, you can generate energy to power up plasma weapons, mad scientists, and pre-war robots.
The Mutant Menace deck is where you’ll find super mutants, ghouls, and Fallout 76’s cutest cryptid, Mothman. It also introduces a new rad counter mechanic, which can help power up certain residents of the wasteland.
Prices taken at time of publishing.
The Mutant Menace deck is helmed by famous Fallout 76 cryptid Mothman, and it’s full of the various mutated creatures and cryptids that have shown up throughout the franchise and its various iterations across America.
Finally, the Hail, Caesar deck will include lots of militants from the world of Fallout. In addition to dealing damage, players will end up

We live in a time right now when video game adaptations are honestly anticipated in a good way. After serious successes on both the movie and TV fronts, people know that Hollywood CAN make a good adaptation; it’s just the question of “Will they?” In the case of the upcoming Fallout TV Series, the team behind it has been working hard for a long time to deliver the “Wasteland” that many are expecting, the characters and factions that are desired, and the feel of a world that has been turned to ask by humans. The team is so confident that they feel this entity is pretty much the 5th mainline game in the franchise!
Capcom has revealed that a new Mega Man-themed Fighting Pass is going live in Street Fighter 6. The fighting game's third DLC fighter, Ed, joined the roster last month, bringing with him balance changes to characters like Jamie, Ryu, Luke, and more.

Bethesda has opened up pre-orders for an anthology of Fallout games, appropriately bundled into a decorative mini nuke you might fire off at a Deathclaw. The Fallout S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Anthology, a $60 collector’s edition, will launch just before the April 12 premiere of the Fallout TV show on Prime Video. The set includes the Steam codes for every Fallout title launched on PC since 1997, plus a comprehensive set of DLC for many of the games included.
Altered, the novel new trading card game from startup Equinox Studio, has broken records with its inaugural crowdfunding campaign.

When pop culture fandoms heat up, collectors begin to come out of the woodwork. Not speculators, mind you, like the pie-eyed, self-styled investor class that has glommed onto trading card games like Magic: The Gathering and Disney Lorcana. No, I’m talking about real collectors in search of rare artifacts, often from early on in the history of a given fandom.
I grew up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I even remember as a bright eyed kid, awake at 6am, watching the first ever episode of TMNT on Sky. Decades have gone past and those pesky turtles seem to be everywhere, but through all that time, the real top quality video games haven’t been quite as widespread. But after the success of the fantastic TMNT: Shredders Revenge last year, Nikleodeon have decided to step back in time with another spiritual successor to TMNT: Turtle in Time with Wrath of the Mutants. I’m not a big fan on the art-style for this one, but as any 90’s gamer will know, it’s all about the gameplay, so I’m looking forward to the full game releasing in April. Here’s the full press release:
But instead of getting their hands on the handsets, police and prosecutors in Iran allege customers found themselves ensnared by a business owner running a multimillion-dollar Ponzi scheme.
