For every other precon since 2023, see the Commander precons hub.

What Are the Four Fallout Commander Decks?

Wizards released four Commander decks under Universes Beyond: Fallout on 8 March 2024: Scrappy Survivors (red-green-white), Hail, Caesar (red-white-black), Mutant Menace (black-green-blue) and Science! (blue-red-white). The set code is PIP. Wizards published the decklists on 20 February 2024.

What's in a Fallout Commander deck box

Per Wizards, each box has:

• 2 traditional-foil legendary creatures, either of which can be the commander
• 98 non-foil cards. New-to-Magic cards per deck: 38 in Scrappy Survivors, 37 in Hail, Caesar, 41 in Mutant Menace and 38 in Science!
• 1 foil-etched display commander on thick cardstock (not legal in sanctioned Commander play)
• 10 double-sided tokens
• 1 Collector Booster Sample Pack with 2 special-treatment cards, including 1 rare or mythic rare card
• A deck box, a life wheel, a strategy insert and a reference card

Fallout Commander Deck Prices on 11 November 2026

How to read it. Price is the TCGplayer market price of the sealed deck. Cards worth adds up the TCGplayer market price of all 100 cards, using the exact printing in the deck (the two commanders at their foil prices). Value is cards worth divided by price. All 100 cards had a price in every deck. Stock win rate is from Playgroup.gg, which tracks games played with the stock, unmodified decklist (opponents can be any deck) and normalizes win rates to a four-player baseline of 25%; the game count is tracked games with the stock list.

The lowest TCGplayer listings on the same day were $35.23 (Science!), $58.00 (Scrappy Survivors), $65.10 (Hail, Caesar) and $104.94 (Mutant Menace). Wizards' decklist page gives no MSRP, so we don't quote one.

Are the Fallout precons worth more than they cost?

Science! and Scrappy Survivors are, by a wide margin. Hail, Caesar is by a little. Mutant Menace costs about what its cards sell for.

The value numbers leave out the Collector Booster Sample Pack in each box, because its two cards are random. A sealed sample pack had a TCGplayer market price of $15.81 on 11 November 2026.

How strong are they out of the box?

None of the four reaches the 25% baseline. Only the tracked deck has to be stock, so these precons often face upgraded decks. Playgroup.gg ranked 92 precons on 11 November 2026: Hail, Caesar was 39th (C tier), Scrappy Survivors 67th (C tier), Science! 77th (D tier) and Mutant Menace 81st (D tier).

The samples are small. By our own calculation, 324 games puts Hail, Caesar's 21.72% within about ±4.5 points (an approximation that treats the normalized rate as a simple proportion), so it can't be separated from Scrappy Survivors (18.94%). The gap to Mutant Menace (15.79% over 627 games) is about 6 points and holds up. Playgroup.gg lists all four at Bracket 2 with no Game Changers, and we found none when we checked the decklists against Scryfall's Game Changers list on 11 November 2026.

Science! (Dr. Madison Li)

Commander: Dr. Madison Li, {U}{R}{W}, 2/3 Second commander: Liberty Prime, Recharged, {2}{U}{R}{W}, 8/8 Colours: Jeskai (blue, red, white) Price: $39.48 sealed, $71.94 in cards (1.82×)

Plan. Cast artifacts to make energy, then spend it. Dr. Madison Li gives you an energy counter whenever you cast an artifact spell. She taps and pays one energy to give a creature +1/+0, trample and haste, three to draw a card, or five to return an artifact from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped. Liberty Prime, Recharged is an 8/8 with vigilance, trample and haste that you must sacrifice when it attacks or blocks unless you pay two energy.

What's in it. 24 creatures, 22 artifacts, 8 instants, 5 enchantments, 4 sorceries and 37 lands (13 basics). 13 of the creatures are legendary. Reprints include Panharmonicon, Mystic Forge, Mechanized Production, Steel Overseer, Lightning Greaves, Swords to Plowshares and Austere Command.

Most valuable cards (TCGplayer market, 11 November 2026):

• Nuka-Cola Vending Machine$14.89 on 11 Nov 2026
• Panharmonicon$4.78 on 11 Nov 2026
• Lightning Greaves$4.08 on 11 Nov 2026
• Unexpected Windfall$3.16 on 11 Nov 2026
• Mystic Forge$2.92 on 11 Nov 2026

The top ten add up to $39.50, two cents more than the sealed deck. Nuka-Cola Vending Machine alone is a fifth of the deck's card value. The foil Dr. Madison Li is a $0.31 card and the foil Liberty Prime $0.30.

Strength. 16.75% in 206 tracked games with the stock list on Playgroup.gg: 77th of 92, D tier. It has the fewest games tracked of the four, so this is the least certain number here.

Cheap upgrades. This is the cheapest of the four to improve, because the energy cards players add cost cents. On EDHREC, Dr. Madison Li leads 6,699 decks (rank #449) and Liberty Prime 5,126 (rank #602). The most-added cards (cheapest non-foil printing on Scryfall, 11 November 2026):

• Gonti's Aether Heart ($0.83): in 4,650 of 6,699 Madison Li decks, and the most-added card across 43 tracked upgrades on Playgroup.gg (33%)
• Izzet Generatorium ($0.28), Aetherworks Marvel ($0.25), Aether Refinery ($0.39), Decoction Module ($0.15) and Aether Hub ($0.18)

Those six cost $2.08 together. Guide of Souls ($4.20) is the next step up. The cards Playgroup.gg's upgraders cut most are James, Wandering Dad (58%), C.A.M.P. (56%) and Expert-Level Safe (56%).

Buy or skip: buy. It's the cheapest deck, the best value, and the cheapest to upgrade. Expect to lose more than you win until you add the energy cards.

Hail, Caesar (Caesar, Legion's Emperor)

Commander: Caesar, Legion's Emperor, {1}{R}{W}{B}, 4/4 Second commander: Mr. House, President and CEO, {R}{W}{B}, 0/4 Colours: Mardu (red, white, black) Price: $66.25 sealed, $81.18 in cards (1.23×)

Plan. Make tokens, attack, sacrifice. Whenever you attack, Caesar lets you sacrifice another creature and choose two of three: create two 1/1 Soldier tokens with haste that are tapped and attacking; draw a card and lose 1 life; or deal damage to an opponent equal to the number of creature tokens you control.

Mr. House plays a different game. Whenever you roll a 4 or higher he makes a 3/3 Robot, and on a 6 or higher a Treasure as well. He's also the card upgraders cut most: 61% of 87 tracked upgrades on Playgroup.gg take him out.

What's in it. 32 creatures, 11 enchantments, 9 artifacts, 7 instants, 5 sorceries and 36 lands (14 basics). 17 of the creatures are legendary, the most of the four decks. Reprints include Skullclamp, Black Market, Pitiless Plunderer, Anguished Unmaking, Ruinous Ultimatum, Secure the Wastes, Assemble the Legion and Intangible Virtue.

Most valuable cards (TCGplayer market, 11 November 2026):

• Black Market$5.23 on 11 Nov 2026
• Skullclamp$5.19 on 11 Nov 2026
• Luck Bobblehead$4.78 on 11 Nov 2026
• Pitiless Plunderer$4.40 on 11 Nov 2026
• Caesar, Legion's Emperor$4.22 foil on 11 Nov 2026

The top ten add up to $37.27. No card in the deck is above $6, so the value is spread thin: 68 of the 100 cards are under $0.50. The foil Caesar ($4.22) is the most valuable commander in any of the four decks; the foil Mr. House is $0.88.

Strength. The best of the four out of the box: 21.72% in 324 tracked games with the stock list on Playgroup.gg, 39th of 92, C tier.

Cheap upgrades. Caesar leads 23,284 decks on EDHREC (rank #46) and Mr. House 23,355 (rank #45), so this box holds two of EDHREC's 50 most-built commanders. For Caesar (cheapest non-foil printing on Scryfall, 11 November 2026):

• Isshin, Two Heavens as One ($1.02): in 15,900 of 23,284 Caesar decks, and added in 44% of tracked upgrades on Playgroup.gg
• Adeline, Resplendent Cathar ($2.39), Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon ($3.19), Impact Tremors ($2.80), Warleader's Call ($2.84) and Mirkwood Bats ($0.92)

Those six cost $13.16 together. Mr. House needs a different deck built around dice: Barbarian Class ($0.32, in 21,876 of 23,355 Mr. House decks), Wyll, Blade of Frontiers ($0.39), Hoarding Ogre ($0.15) and Contraband Livestock ($0.26) are $1.12 together; Delina, Wild Mage ($3.40) and Vexing Puzzlebox ($8.74) cost more.

Buy or skip: buy to play. It has the best stock win rate, and a $1 Isshin is the upgrade most Caesar players make. Skip it if you're buying for card value: only $52.83 of the $81.18 is in cards worth $1 or more.

Scrappy Survivors (Dogmeat, Ever Loyal)

Commander: Dogmeat, Ever Loyal, {R}{G}{W}, 3/3 Second commander: Preston Garvey, Minuteman, {2}{R}{G}{W}, 4/4 Colours: Naya (red, green, white) Price: $65.86 sealed, $104.17 in cards (1.58×)

Plan. Put Auras and Equipment on creatures and attack. When Dogmeat enters, you mill five cards and return an Aura or Equipment card from your graveyard to your hand. Whenever a creature you control that's enchanted or equipped attacks, you create a Junk token, which you can tap and sacrifice at sorcery speed to exile the top card of your library and play it that turn. Preston Garvey attaches a Settlement Aura token to a land at the beginning of each of your combats, so the land taps for any colour, and untaps every enchanted permanent you control when he attacks.

What's in it. 19 creatures, 17 enchantments, 17 artifacts, 6 instants, 3 sorceries and 38 lands (12 basics). 11 of the creatures are legendary. Reprints include Heroic Intervention, Puresteel Paladin, Basilisk Collar, Champion's Helm, Mantle of the Ancients, Swiftfoot Boots, Rancor, All That Glitters, Path to Exile and Blasphemous Act.

Most valuable cards (TCGplayer market, 11 November 2026):

• Heroic Intervention$15.70 on 11 Nov 2026
• Codsworth, Handy Helper$14.07 on 11 Nov 2026
• Silver Shroud Costume$5.95 on 11 Nov 2026
• Pip-Boy 3000$4.54 on 11 Nov 2026
• Basilisk Collar$3.18 on 11 Nov 2026

The top ten add up to $56.91. Heroic Intervention is the most valuable card in any of the four decks, and with Codsworth, Handy Helper it comes to $29.77, 45% of the sealed price. The foil Dogmeat is a $0.50 card and the foil Preston Garvey $0.34.

Strength. 18.94% in 264 tracked games with the stock list on Playgroup.gg: 67th of 92, C tier.

Cheap upgrades. Dogmeat leads 9,084 decks on EDHREC (rank #295) and Preston Garvey 2,213 (rank #1,108). For Dogmeat (cheapest non-foil printing on Scryfall, 11 November 2026):

• Sram, Senior Edificer ($1.76): in 5,330 of 9,084 Dogmeat decks, and the most-added card across 97 tracked upgrades on Playgroup.gg (26%)
• Danitha, New Benalia's Light ($2.46), Danitha Capashen, Paragon ($0.34), Chishiro, the Shattered Blade ($0.98), Reyav, Master Smith ($0.25) and Sword of the Animist ($2.63)

Those six cost $8.42 together. Power Fist is the third most-added card on Playgroup.gg (22%); it's a Mutant Menace card that costs $9.66 on its own. Sigarda's Aid ($16.75) is the expensive option. A Preston Garvey build goes to enchantments instead: Ethereal Armor ($0.31), Setessan Champion ($3.41), Eidolon of Blossoms ($1.80) and Sythis, Harvest's Hand ($2.34). The cards upgraders cut most are Squirrel Nest (56%) and Vault 21: House Gambit (52%).

Buy or skip: buy. It costs the same as Hail, Caesar and holds $23 more in cards, most of it in cards you would play in other decks. It's the second-best value of the four.

Mutant Menace (The Wise Mothman)

Commander: The Wise Mothman, {1}{B}{G}{U}, 3/3 flier Second commander: The Master, Transcendent, {1}{B}{G}{U}, 2/4 Colours: Sultai (black, green, blue) Price: $109.70 sealed, $115.19 in cards (1.05×)

Plan. Give everyone rad counters, mill cards, and grow your creatures. Whenever The Wise Mothman enters or attacks, each player gets a rad counter. Whenever one or more nonland cards are milled, you put a +1/+1 counter on each of up to that many target creatures. The Master, Transcendent gives a player two rad counters when it enters, and taps to put a creature card that was milled this turn onto the battlefield under your control as a 3/3 green Mutant. Our Fallout set guide and counters guide explain how rad counters work.

What's in it. 29 creatures, 10 artifacts, 8 enchantments, 7 instants, 7 sorceries and 39 lands (15 basics). 11 of the creatures are legendary. Reprints include Guardian Project, Branching Evolution, Hardened Scales, Inexorable Tide, Fraying Sanity, Tireless Tracker, Winding Constrictor, Corpsejack Menace and Casualties of War.

Most valuable cards (TCGplayer market, 11 November 2026):

• Guardian Project$11.28 on 11 Nov 2026
• Power Fist$9.66 on 11 Nov 2026
• Branching Evolution$7.91 on 11 Nov 2026
• Rampaging Yao Guai$6.26 on 11 Nov 2026
• Atomize$5.58 on 11 Nov 2026

The top ten add up to $58.03. Mutant Menace has the most cards worth $1 or more (26) and the fewest under $0.50 (57). The foil The Wise Mothman in the box is a $1.53 card and the foil The Master $0.51.

Strength. The lowest of the four: 15.79% in 627 tracked games with the stock list on Playgroup.gg, 81st of 92, D tier. It also has the most games tracked, so this is the most reliable of the four numbers.

Cheap upgrades. The Wise Mothman leads 34,740 decks on EDHREC, rank #16 of all commanders; The Master leads 4,036 (rank #727). Players upgrade this deck more than the other three: Playgroup.gg tracks 220 upgrades. The most-added cards (cheapest non-foil printing on Scryfall, 11 November 2026):

• 
  $1.06Ruin Crab ($1.06): added in 45% of tracked upgrades, and in 21,434 of 34,740 Mothman decks on EDHREC
• 
  $0.90Syr Konrad, the Grim ($0.90), Muldrotha, the Gravetide ($0.70), Thrummingbird ($0.25) and Evolution Sage ($2.27)
• 
  $7.39Mindcrank ($7.39, in 23,047 Mothman decks), Ripples of Potential ($5.29) and Mesmeric Orb ($16.97) if you spend more

The first five cost $5.18 together. The cards upgraders cut most are Piper Wright, Publick Reporter (70%), Lumbering Megasloth (60%) and Strength Bobblehead (59%). The Rad Secret Lair drop reprints The Wise Mothman in new art alongside Mindcrank and Ripples of Potential.

Buy or skip: skip at $109.70, unless you want all 100 cards. The popularity is in the commander, and the commander is a $1.53 card. The deck costs about $44 more than Hail, Caesar or Scrappy Survivors, gives back almost exactly its price in cards, and wins the least unmodified. If you want to play Mothman and already own Commander staples, buy the commander and the mill cards as singles.

Which Fallout Precon Should You Buy?

The picks below are our reading of the 11 November prices, Playgroup.gg win rates and EDHREC counts.

Price does not follow strength

The most expensive deck has the lowest stock win rate, and the cheapest deck has the best value ratio. Mutant Menace's price follows demand for The Wise Mothman, not how the 100 cards play together. If you're choosing by price alone, you'd pick the wrong deck for play.

Should You Buy All Four Fallout Precons?

A sealed case with one of each deck had a TCGplayer market price of $227.73 on 11 November 2026, against $281.29 for the four bought one by one: $53.56 less. The 400 cards inside were worth about $372 at market price.

All four makes sense for a playgroup that wants four matched decks. If you play alone, buy one deck and spend the rest on its upgrades. Buying one as a present? Our MTG gifts guide has other picks by budget.

How Fallout Compares With Other Universes Beyond Precons

The Fallout decks are more than two and a half years old, and three of the four still sell under $70. For other licensed precons with the same price-against-cards comparison, see the Lord of the Rings Commander decks, the Final Fantasy Commander decks, the Marvel Commander decks and the TMNT Commander deck. The weekly table for every precon since 2023 is on our Commander precons page.

Conclusion: Science! for Value, Hail, Caesar to Play
