Hasbro says Magic: The Gathering's Fallout-themed Commander cards were 'probably our best-performing Commander set ever'

Magic: The Gathering Fallout crossover card art - Dogmeat (detail).

The multiverse has been good to Magic: The Gathering. Of its recent crossover sets the big winner was The Lord of the Rings, which earned over $200 million in under six months. As Polygon pointed out at the time, that's about twice as much as other popular Magic sets make.

Fallout has apparently been a solid earner as well, although it's not a full set like The Lord of the Rings was. Where the Middle-earth cards were designed to be playable in a variety of formats, and even made it to Magic: The Gathering Arena in digital form (which "Universes Beyond" crossovers typically don't), the Fallout set is purely for Commander—a format designed for groups of typically four players, who each have a deck of 100 cards with no doubles led by a single legendary creature acting as its leader.
