Secret Lair: Rad Superdrop Brings Fallout Back to Magic: The Gathering

Magic’s Secret Lair team has done it again, we're headed back to the Wasteland with the Fallout Rad Superdrop. Dropping on January 26th, 2026, this drop pulls even more inspiration straight from the irradiated world of Fallout, the Fallout TV show, and a trip to New Vegas, giving players a chance to snag some seriously cool cards with a post-apocalyptic twist.


If you’ve been watching the latest season of the Fallout TV show on Amazon Prime Video, this Superdrop feels very on-point. Characters and vibes from the show bleed into the Magic universe. It’s like picking up your Pip-Boy and walking into your next Commander game. Fans on Reddit are already joking about marketing dollars and the timing of the drop aligning with the show’s new episodes.


Let’s break down what you’re actually getting with this drop, what the prices look like, and why it’s generating buzz even before spoilers hit the internet.


Magic Secret Lair x Fallout: Beyond Vault 33

This first piece of the Superdrop is a big one; think of it as your starter kit if you want to collect the Fallout TV x MTG mash-up aesthetic.



Contents:

  • Lucy MacLean, Positively Armed (new-to-Magic design)

  • The Ghoul, Gunslinger (new-to-Magic design)

  • Maximus, Knight Apparent (new-to-Magic design)

  • Pre-War Formalwear

  • Spirit Mantle

  • T-45 Power Armor as T-60 Power Armor


Price:

  • Non-foil: $39.99 USD

  • Foil: $49.99 USD 


This set leans heavily into the Fallout TV show with fresh designs and a reimagined staple in Spirit Mantle. For players who like flavor as much as function, it’s a strong entry. Personally, I love Pre-War Formal wear. A white recursion equipment that immediately equips, buffs, and adds vigilance? Amazing.


Magic Secret Lair x Fallout: Greet the Dog

Every post-nuclear world needs a companion, and Greet the Dog brings just that, with the Wastelands' goodest boy and ever-faithful doggo Dogmeat.



Contents:

  • Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful as Dogmeat, Constant Companion

  • Arcane Signet

  • Lightning Greaves

  • Patchwork Banner

  • Sol Ring


Price:

  • Non-foil: $29.99 USD

  • Foil: $39.99 USD 


Yes, that’s another Sol Ring under a Fallout skin, and it will almost assuredly become a high-value reprint. It’s funny, and also exactly the kind of thing collectors and casual players alike will chase if they miss out.


The commander staples in Sol Ring, Lightning Greaves, and Patchwork Banner, and Arcane Signet might make this the set people clamor for the most.


Magic Secret Lair x Fallout: Rad — $29.99 / $39.99

This group leans into the radiosity or, well, radness — of the wasteland.



Contents:

  • Ripples of Potential

  • Mutational Advantage

  • The Wise Mothman

  • Mindcrank

  • Mesmeric Orb as Mothman Egg


Price:

  • Non-foil: $29.99 USD

  • Foil: $39.99 USD 


These reprints all see real Commander play and fill a role that players actively need. Ripples of Potential and Mutational Advantage both slot into a wide range of counter and creature-based decks, making them easy includes that stay relevant as new mechanics are introduced.


The Wise Mothman stands out as a Universes Beyond exclusive with unique mill and counter synergy, giving it long-term collector appeal on top of playability and its first reprint.


Mindcrank is a proven combo piece that regularly spikes whenever new damage or mill commanders appear, and Mesmeric Orb remains one of the strongest self-mill engines ever printed and a staple in graveyard strategies, currently sitting around $20.


Add in the exclusive Fallout-themed treatments, and you get cards that are playable, collectible, and likely to hold value well over time.


Magic Secret Lair x Fallout: Welcome to New Vegas

Last but definitely not least is this set, which taps into the New Vegas part of the Fallout mythos, grit, desert towns, and high stakes.



Contents:

  • Tinybones, Trinket Thief as Benny, Platinum Thief

  • Isshin, Two Heavens as One as Joshua Graham, Burned Man

  • The Deck of Many Things as Custom Caravan Deck

  • Caged Sun as The Platinum Chip

  • Nuka-Cola Vending Machine as Sunset Sarsaparilla Machine


Price:

  • Non-foil: $29.99 USD

  • Foil: $39.99 USD 


This one feels like a gamble in all the right ways. A focus on New Vegas in this season of Fallout plays right into Wizards' hands and players' collections.


Isshin is a commander that has always been a strong choice for players focused on ability triggers, and the Nuka-Cola Vending Machine reskin will be super helpful for those food token collectors.


Tinybones, Trinket Thief is another popular card in Commander with only 2 prints and about $20 in value.


MTG Approaches New Vegas

Timed to hit just as the new season of the Fallout TV show is drawing attention back to Vault-Tec and New Vegas, this Superdrop feels more like a celebration than a product push. On Reddit, some players have already noted that the community reaction is half excitement and half affection for the weird, wild things Wizards is willing to try with Secret Lair.
