Magic: The Gathering's Fallout crossover understands they're RPGs about reading lore on terminals and hoarding junk until you're encumbered

Piper from Fallout 4.

What's the iconic Fallout experience? Is it talking the final boss into changing their philosophy, or is it shooting mutants in the ruins of America? Those are easier things to highlight, memorable peaks that make for good videos, but they're not true to what we do the most when we're playing those games. We spend hours and hours reading people's private emails and descriptions of the days leading up to the Big One, and picking up too many mugs then having to filter our inventories.

The first of those two activities is represented in our exclusive preview card from Magic: The Gathering's Fallout crossover, which is Piper Wright, Publick Reporter (art by Rafater). An investigative journalist who becomes one of your companions in Fallout 4, Piper is the Lois Lane of the Wasteland. In Magic terms, her snooping around on hacked terminals is represented by Clue tokens that can be spent to draw additional cards, and whenever you do Piper powers up another creature by giving them a +1/+1 counter.
