Two years ago, Wizards of the Coast released a themed Magic: The Gathering expansion set based on the Fallout universe, and it was quite successful. Although the set included characters and events from the game series, it launched a month before the premiere of the popular TV show, so actors from the series were not featured. This situation will be rectified by the end of this month.
Wizards of the Coast has announced the release of four new Secret Lair drops, once again dedicated to the world of Fallout. One of them will be entirely focused on the stars of the TV series. In this drop, players will see cards featuring key show characters: The Ghoul, Maximus, and Lucy. Notably, Lucy will not only have her own personal card but will also appear on two others: on Spirit Mantle, she is depicted exiting the Super Duper Mart in her Vault 33 jumpsuit, and on Pre-War Formalwear, she is in the chaos of the cornfield on her wedding night. Maximus will also appear twice; besides his personal card, his image is used on the T-60 Power Armor card.
In addition to references to the series, fans can expect a collection of five cards based on Fallout: New Vegas. This includes Benny, Joshua Graham, the Platinum Chip, the Custom Caravan Deck, and the Sunset Sarsaparilla Vending Machine. As is often the case with the Secret Lair series, the developers have taken the path of reimagining existing cards while preserving their mechanics. For example, the Sunset Sarsaparilla Vending Machine works similarly to the Nuka-Cola Vending Machine from the main Fallout set: it provides Food tokens that can be turned into Treasure.
Among other new additions is the return of Dogmeat across five new cards. One is particularly notable: an analog of Sol Ring, designed as a dog's water bowl. Furthermore, the Rad Secret Lair drop will present cards themed around mutants and mutations, including The Wise Mothman.
All these new items will be part of the Rad Superdrop, scheduled for release on January 26.
