Featuring a total of four Commander preconstructed decks and collectible chase cards through collector boosters is the Universes Beyond crossover of MTG Fallout. Slated to drop on March 8, 2024, the Commander-focused set contains new and reprinted cards that feature Vault Boy. There are also new mechanics like Junk tokens and Radiation, along with the return of Energy counters.
Every MTG Fallout Commander Precon deck
Each MTG Fallout Commander deck features new and reprinted Magic cards. Basic lands showcase locations throughout the franchise, along with Pip-Boy treatments applied to select cards. From mutants and loyal dog companions to sacrificial tokens and Brain counters, here are the four MTG Fallout Commander Precon decks.
At the time of writing, MTG Fallout spoilers haven’t begun. Full decklists for each Commander Precon will get added upon release, along with updated preorder prices the closer it gets to March.
Science! MTG Fallout Commander deck
Artifacts and the return of Energy counters are the main focus of the Science! Commander deck in the Universes Beyond Fallout set. The Precon is commanded by Dr. Madison Li, who takes advantage of Artifact synergy to create Energy counters. Colors in the MTG Fallout Commander deck are UWR (Blue, White, and Red).Â
Supporting Dr. Madison Li are other legendary creatures like Rex, Cyber-Hound. The robot dog can gain Energy counters through combat damage and even has a new MTG mechanic called Brain counters that lets Rex have all the activated abilities from creatures in exile with Brain counters.
Not to be forgotten are the infamous Fallout Vaults, with Vault 112 featured in the Science! deck. Build up your Energy counters quickly over two turns while delaying your opponent, before spending the Energy to play a powerful card for free.
Hail, Caesar MTG Fallout Commander deck
Featuring Mardu colors RWB (Red, White, and Black) with go-wide token and sacrifice strategies is the Hail, Caesar Precon. The face commander for the MTG Fallout deck is Caesar, Legion’s Emperor who has three modal options that players can choose two of when the human solder attacks and sacrifices another creature.
Cards that support the go-wide and sacrificial themes are two-drops like Gary Clone, which offers players the option to pay two additional mana of any color to create a token copy of the human citizen upon ETB. As an added bonus, all copies of Gary Clone gain +1/+0 when Gary attacks.
Your opponent is likely to possess many artifacts, particularly with the Fallout set, so slinging out multiple copies of Powder Ganger keeps their artifact count in check whilst ensuring your go-wide strategy sticks.
Scrappy Survivors MTG Fallout Commander deck
Showcasing the new MTG Junk tokens is the Fallout Precon deck, Scrappy Survivors. The Commander deck is in Naya colors RGW (Red, Green, and White), featuring a strong Aura and Equipment theme in conjunction with Artifacts.Â
Leading the Fallout Commander Precon deck is the iconic companion Dogmeat, Ever Loyal. The three-drop dog Mills cards to find Auras and Equipment that can get reanimated to hand while also creating Junk tokens when a creature that has an Aura or an Equipment attached to it attacks.
The deck features a heavy theme of Junk token creation and benefits around playing cards from exile. With the abundance of artifacts you’ll possess on the board, Puresteel Paladin is a powerful two-drop that lets you refill your hand when you play any equipment, while Commander Sofia Daguerre keeps the enemy’s board in check.
Mutant Menace MTG Fallout Commander deck
Tapping into the power of new MTG mechanic Rad counters is the Fallout Commander deck Mutant Menace. Showcasing Sultai colors BGU (Black, Green, and Blue), the Precon features a theme built around counters and Proliferating those counters.
Leading the MTG Fallout deck is The Wise Mothman, an insect mutant that creates Rad counters while also benefiting from the counters Milling nonland cards. The Wise Mothman’s second ability triggers off all players, not just you.
Use cards like Nuclear Fallout if the opponent is getting ahead on board to reset and flood them with rad counters, then drop a gigantic Tarmogoyf which returns with its own Fallout theme in the form of the Scrounging Deathclaw.
