Fallout Card Design Approach

I think it’s a very good thing that fallout has more card names, types, and abilities that are not quote unquote “plane bound”. That is to say, cards with names, types, and abilities that could easily be reprinted elsewhere in magic without needing to do the universes within treatment. Obviously this can’t be done with legendary cards, and some UB cards are naturally going to have names and types tied to their IP (like gallifrey falls or tyrannids), or they’ll have names that aren’t inherently tied to their IP but certainly don’t fit in regular magic (like nuclear fallout or cyber conversion) but it’s nice that a lot of these cards that will likely be staples in various formats won’t have their chances of being reprinted bogged down. It seems to me like this is happening more in fallout than it did in previous UB sets. Is this intentional? Or is it just coincidence? It seems like a difficult line to tread, being evocative in flavor while simultaneously generic in name, but I think (based on the spoilers so far) fallout has been mostly good on this.

It depends a lot on the property.
