Magic: The Gathering’s Secret Lair line is dropping four Fallout-themed card sets on Monday, January 26, bringing characters and imagery from the hit Amazon series straight into the trading-card arena.
At a Glance
- Four new Secret Lair drops arrive Monday, January 26, starting 8 AM PT pre-queue
- “Beyond Vault 33” features Lucy, Maximus, and the Ghoul in their first-ever Magic cards
- Prices range from $30 for non-foil packs to $50 for foil editions
- Some cards are reskins of existing staples like “Mesmeric Orb” reborn as “Mothman Egg”
- Why it matters: Fans can own playable collectibles that merge two pop-culture giants
The announcement comes as Fallout’s second television season winds down, keeping hype alive through cardboard. Wizards of the Coast teased “one unmistakably irradiated lineup” spanning the franchise’s wasteland, dogs, and New Vegas neon.
Vault 33 Crew Debuts
“Beyond Vault 33” headlines the release, giving Lucy, Maximus, and the Ghoul their inaugural cardboard identities. Each card carries new-to-Magic mechanics tailored to the characters’ on-screen personas, according to the company’s reveal earlier this week.
Reskins and References
Similar to February’s Monster Hunter crossover, not every card is brand-new:
- “Mesmeric Orb” becomes “Mothman Egg”
- “Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful” transforms into “Dogmeat, Constant Companion”
- Other favorites receive wasteland flavor text and art
These alternate artworks let collectors sleeve up familiar tournament staples while repping Fallout iconography.
Price Breakdown
Non-foil prices stay consistent across three of the four drops:
| Drop Name | Non-Foil | Foil |
|---|---|---|
| Beyond Vault 33 | $40 | $50 |
| Greet the Dog | $30 | $40 |
| Rad | $30 | $40 |
| Welcome to New Vegas | $30 | $40 |
Foil upgrades tack $10 onto each base price. All four sets go on sale simultaneously after Monday’s pre-queue window opens at 8 AM Pacific, one hour before general availability.
Franchise Flashback
This marks Fallout’s second excursion into Magic cardboard. In 2024 Wizards printed four pre-constructed Commander decks themed to the video-game universe, alongside sets for Final Fantasy and Assassin’s Creed. The earlier release focused on in-game factions, locations, and creatures rather than the TV adaptation.
Future Possibilities
News Of Fort Worth‘s coverage notes that no Assassin’s Creed cards have been announced to coincide with that franchise’s upcoming live-action show. Whether this latest Fallout drop sells well could determine if Magic doubles-dips on Creed or other gaming properties headed to streaming.
How to Buy
- Pre-queue opens Monday, January 26 at 8 AM PT
- Sales go live at 9 AM PT the same day
- Products sold through the Secret Lair storefront while supplies last

Key Takeaways
- Fallout lands in Magic with four limited-edition drops next week
- Iconic show characters enter the card pool for the first time
- Prices start at $30 and top out at $50 for premium foil finishes
