Battle of Hoover Dam

Card Names and Types

New 23 Feb 2024 Asked by casofsas 22 Comments

Is there any consideration given to if a cards name has a card type in it? It seems like they don't, with the existence of Lethal scheme and Battle of Hoover Dam.


The rule with Universes Beyond is we don’t use Magic mechanics/types/etc. just because the word appears in the name.

Battle Card Design

New 22 Feb 2024 Asked by spyrohawk 48 Comments

I know nothing about Fallout, but just from a basic mechanics point of view, was there any discussion of making the new "Battle of Hoover Dam" a battle card rather than a fate reforged style enchantment?


Universes Beyond sets have a greater lead time because we need to run everything by our partner. This means Fallout was designed before March of the Machine was released, so we didn’t yet know how Battles would be received. In addition, for production reasons, it’s difficult to put DFCs in Commander decks, and a single card in a supplemental product is probably not how we wanted to premiere single-faced Battles.
