The Best Cards To Upgrade Your Mutant Menace Fallout Precon Deck (Magic: The Gathering)
The Mutant Menace Precon deck for Magic: the Gathering‘s Universes Beyond sets brings the famous mutants of Fallout to the battlefield. Spreading Rad Counters will be your ticket to success with Mothman leading the troops from your Command Zone. Upgrading this deck to its optimal build means utilizing Proliferating and taking advantage of every card your opponents need to mill.
The colors of this deck are known as Sultai, which are Blue, Black, and Green. By taking advantage of the new Radiation mechanic, you will have plenty of means to work with your graveyard. At the beginning of each player’s upkeep, they will have to mill cards equal to the amount of Rad counters they have been given. Players will lose one life and one Rad Counter for each non-land card milled this way.
10 Coolest Magic: The Gathering Cards From The Jurassic World Crossover
Magic: The Gathering’s Lost Caverns Of Ixalan has 26 cards that crossover with Jurassic World’s 30th anniversary. Here are the best revealed so far.
Best Cards to Keep
The key creatures to the Mutant Menace deck synergize with the Radiation mechanic, taking advantage of the milling effect or proliferation of the Rad Counters. For example, mutants like Screeching Scorchbeast can be a big threat while adding Rad Counters at the same time.
Tomer from MTGGoldfish recommends using powerful Proliferate spells like Rad Storm in combination with Nuclear Fallout to irradiate the battlefield to pieces. Among the more important cards to keep in your deck are:
- Rad Storm
- Nuclear Fallout
- Feral Ghoul
- Hardened Scales
- Screeching Scorchbeast
Best Cards to Add and Which to Swap Out
Cutting out cards that lack synergy with the Mutant Menace theme in MTG is necessary for optimal gameplay. Look for alternate cards that work best with +1/+1 counters and powerful Proliferation spells. This deck also lacks powerful finishers, so it will benefit from cards like Muldrotha or Syr Konrad to close out your game.
Vraska, Betrayal’s String could also be considered a decent upgrade to your deck, but it uses the Phyrexian Mana, considered to be one of the worst mechanics in Magic: the Gathering.

The Alternative Commander in the Precon
The Master, Transcendent, from Magic: The Gathering‘s Universes Beyond is the other commander within the Mutant Menace Precon. Its ability allows the player to steal their opponent’s powerful creatures that were milled to their graveyard. Instead of emphasizing Rad counters, milling your opponents is the deck’s goal. It is key when playing this deck to take note of which opponent has the strongest creatures in their decks.
