It’s time to take a step outside the vault, Magic: The Gathering is releasing its new crossover set, Universes Beyond: Fallout! This upcoming release explores the post-nuclear, war-torn world of Bethesda’s Fallout video game series, including iconic allies, foes and mutated monsters alike.

To prepare sellers to face the many challenges waiting in the rad-ravaged world of Fallout, we’ve created a complete breakdown of what you can expect when opening packs for Universes Beyond: Fallout. But before we get started, here are some frequently asked questions for this release:

Q: How can I tell if a card is a Variant Card in the Seller Portal?

A: All variant cards feature their Variant Type in parentheses after the card name. Examples of these will be (Showcase) and (Extended Art). When exporting inventory and sorting by card number, all Variants will be above card number 316 in the set.

Q: Is there a Buy-A-Box promo card that I can list with this release?

A: Universes Beyond: Fallout will not include a Buy-A-Box promo with its release. However, the Launch Party promo, War Room, will be available to list on TCGplayer on March 8, 2024 at the start of the Launch Party Event.

Q: How can I tell if my Universes Beyond: Fallout card is Traditional Foil or Surge Foil?

A: Universes Beyond: Fallout features two predominant types of foiling: Traditional Foil and Surge Foil. Every card from Universes Beyond: Fallout is available in Traditional Foil and Surge Foil except for the non-foil Full Art lands and the Serial Numbered Bobblehead cards, which are only available in double rainbow foil.

The main differentiator between a Traditional Foil card and a Surge Foil printing variant is the card number on the bottom-left corner of the card. As a result, Surge Foil printings of every card will have a (Surge Foil) identifier next to the card name, and have card numbers from 529 to 1056.

Without further ado, let’s go over all of the card variants available in Universes Beyond: Fallout:
