This deck is dominated by a combination of black, green and blue mana and focuses on Fallout creatures like the ‘Wise Deathman’, which fills the battlefield with beam counters that eat up the life of opponents. And in dealing with the enemy. Library. Using Radaway can be a headache for enemies who have to waste turns to avoid dying.
Hello Caesar
Caesar’s Legion has always been a recurring threat in Fallout, and some decks just can’t beat it. Perhaps the best deck of the four, red, white, and black, the stacking mechanic focuses on gathering forces and overwhelming the opponent. Between copies and creatures, the dominant battlefield can be the ultimate threat to defeat other players.
