    I forgot to add in the clip of Specimen 73 but the video's linked with the other clips I used in the description. Unrelated to that, how do you feel the fallout set did? And what was your least favourite Universes Beyond set?

      My least favourite is any art frame that depicts environments more “modern” than Ravnica’s levels of technology. I’ll admit hipocracy for enjoying Neo Kamigawa but besides that I didn’t like The Walking Dead modern backgrounds & weapons, Stranger Things skateboards & neon, 40k when lazguns are shown instead of swords and other melee weapons etc.

    I think Yes Man's second ability is representing the army you amass for doing all the quests - you get soldiers from each faction for each faction quest you've done.
    Edit: and re:Nuka-Nuke - I think they're avoiding using the name of a real world weapon that had horrific impacts... especially given that the decks are being printed in the region the weapon was used.

      Yes, Japan also censored the name of the Fat Man for something more generic, given they were the victims of the Fat Man. I suspect WotC decided to be cautious and avoid the controversy.

      @@cristianbernal8009Been a hot minute, but I definitely remember 2 distinctly being interesting because it _did_ follow the continuity of the original. It was very different in many aspects, certainly, but that was the point. The first game displayed the wasteland shortly after civilization began to reform, whereas 2 was further along the path of recovery, showing the struggles to rebuild civilization and the conflicting ideas regarding what shape the new world should take. The issue with the more modern Bethesda games is that there's no real sense of mobility or progression of the world at large in each subsequent game. You're always stuck in a wasteland with smaller civilizations struggling to get a foothold still using bottle caps as currency for some inexplicable reason. Like, that was the whole point of 2 switching to an actual currency system, and even New Vegas toyed with this concept using the Legion's currency as a higher exchange rate currency compared to bottle caps.

    The Railroad DOES care about other generations of synth and other AIs, but it's a matter of internal debate. Some characters think they should save all synths and also things like assaultrons and so on, and some are just about the Gen 3 synths. That said, I'm sure the art director was like "make sure people can tell they're helping a synth" and so told them to do gen 2 instead of gen 3.

    the biggest failure of this set personally speaking, is not reprinting figure of destiny in the flavor of courier six, or even the lone wanderer. you could have something like the class cards from the dungeons and dragons as creatures. you would choose what they would have depending on what kind of choices YOU the player made in the story. figure of destiny but they can be a dashing rogue working under caesar represented through deathtouch and lifelink, or a soldier with double strike under the ncr, there's just so much potential wasted! (also why the heck is a med kit printed in this set and not just a stimpack card? and why are there no craftable medkits in fallout?)

    @axelostlund2348 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Ok, here we go. Remember, you asked for this.
    Minor Gripes about my favourite Universes Beyond Set. After : is the lore reason why it annoys me.
    Actually annoying Flavour Fails:
    The nightbringer - (literal death) lacks deathtouch: actually death. There are many other things this card should also have, but deathtouch is so far up the list it breeches the atmosphere.
    Sisters of Silence - Should. Have. Shroud: Sisters of silence are the oppocite of a Psyker, they are Psychic nulls. This means all psychich power close to them just ceases to be, there is no magical power that can affect them or target them. Their ability makes sense, but they should definitely have shroud.
    Arco-Flagellant - Should be artifact creatures: They are so heavilt modified this should be a given.
    Plasmancer - Oh this is real annoying: This is another form a Cryptek, who specialised in a particular field of study. A plasmancer (Plasma technomancer) are also called "Harbringers of Destruction". Guess what they are good at? Did you guess causing destruction at a distance with superheated plasma? Pfff, silly, no of course their speciality is finding lands. Besides, there is not like there is a Cryptek study that specialises in terraforming and geomancy.
    Except there is, they are Called called Harbringers of Transmogrification or Geomancers. There is literally a Cryptek for what you wanted this to do and instead you make it a Plasmancer? annoying, flavour fail.
    Art Mishap:
    Bloodcrusher of Khorne - This, is not the right art: The bloodcrushers is a large demonic beast, this art shows its rider. It is like if the art for lotr Oliphant just showed the dude riding it.
    Assault Intercessor - This one, annoys me: The marine it depicts is an Ultramarine. Ultramarines are generalists. Can they be Assault intercessors? Sure. Are there, literally tens of other space marine chapters more suitable to be depicted as a close combat unit? Most. Definitely. This should at least have been a black templar. Ultramarines get too much attention as it is.
    Minor Gripes:
    Tomb Sentinel - Stats are kinda weak : It is a massive unit.
    There is only 1 Lokhust Destroyer card: this is a crime. Destroyers are the best unit. Fite me.
    Lynchguard - is kinda weak: They either wield one of the most potent close combat weapons in the game, or a hyper advanced shield that reflects projectiles. This is fine, just a lil eh.
    Tomb Blade - is, way overstatted, and is ability... doesn't really make sense?: They are essetially hyper advanced auto controlled flying cavalry, so I guess the ability means they are flanking the enemy and... putting them in a bad spot? I'm reaching here.
    Psychomancer - why not trigger on token? the necron warriors are tokens?
    Flayed one - Doesn't have flash: they are necrons infected with a maddening curse causing them to teleport to locations to seek out fresh bodies to shred and dress themselves in, before teleporting back to their madness dimension. Flash would make sense.
    Monolith - Should be 8 toughness and power.
    Pink Horror - The blue horrors should split into 2 brimstone horrors: That's how they work in the game. The brimstone horrors can be real bad, they can be 0/1s with no abilities, but it would be nice to complete the cycle.
    Chaos terminator lord - For how powerful of a unit this is, its kinda lackluster.
    The Horus Heresy - 3 Chapters? Haaaah. You wish: Half of 40k fiction is about the horus heresy. 40k's fiction is gargantuan.
    The Ruious Powers - So, no one really brought this up at the time I think. But this is just a compilation picture of 40k miniatures. Yeah, those are just phographs under a red flame filter. Except the tzeench one maybe? The nurgle one definitely is, the khorne one is, the slaanesh one is most likely as well. Just, kinda weird.
    The Swarmlord - Is, a lil weak for what it is. my friend is really bothered by it but I think it fits.
    The Red Terror - Ehm?: The Red terror's thing is that it is deadly on its own and devours enemies whole, taking them out no matter how armoured they think they are. So, it doesn't, really make sense. but I'm not that upset by it. Still cool.
    Mawloc - Hmm? Oh its Great, but why did it have to be red?
    Szarekh, The Silent King - eeeeeeh...: This is such a massive character in the lore that any depiction of them would be difficult to justify. Lets just say this is fairly weak.
    And there we are. Listing everything they got right would take longer. And there are still some gripes (the necrons should not have unearth, they should have persist or undying.)
    So here is your reference list, thanks for the video, I thought I was in the minority of being annoyed by the fallout set.
    Stay tuned for the doctor who breakdown coming soon (tm).

    • @axelostlund2348
      @axelostlund2348 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I forgot one, and it's a big one, one belonging to the Actually annoying Flavour Fails:
      Venomthrope - should have a ward board buff instead of hexproof: The venomthrope produces a large cloud of toxic spores that shrouds surrounding units and gives them cover from ranged attacks. They are a unit for supporting and buffing other parts of the army. So a "Tyranids you control have ward 1" would make a whole lot more sense. It could even be "Tyranids you control with power (X) or less have ward 1) power 4, 3, or something, showing it shrouds the smaller units but the smog cannot reach to obscure a titan. Instead they just gave it flying and hexproof and deathtouch. Deathtouch makes sense (why didn't the nightbringer get it???). Hexproof, only for itself, doesn't. And flying... It hoovers 5 centimetre off of the ground. Just, a misunderstood card.

    Madison Li is the commander of the science deck because she’s the bridge between the BoS in FO3 and the Institute in FO4, the two primary factions present in the Science deck.
    Out of all the decks I actually think Li is the best commander choice.
    Caesar has the problem that his deck is mostly just “the FNV deck” so you have a bunch of House and NCR stuff in there. No real solution there, it’s mostly the effect of the structure (commander decks) they chose for this UB set.
    The mutants deck is both natural mutants and FEV mutants, and there’s no character that really aligns with both. So they have the mothman as a legendary natural mutant, and the master as the leader of an FEV mutant army. They had to choose for the command zone.
    And dogmeat is a dog.

    @Hexer1358 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The Recon Craft that takes you to Mothership Zeta is already crashed, yes.
    But there’s a random encounter in both 3 and 4 that involves a crashing alien craft streaking across the sky - in 3 it blows up mid flight and you can find the Blaster and some cells under wherever it blows up. In 4, you can follow the direction it was crashing towards to find the crashed craft and an alien alive (and angry) in a cave.
    So since in the art we see it damaged and streaking across the sky, it’s perfectly flavored for what it is.

    Before watching, I am not a hardcore fallout fan. I like the setting a lot though. I've only played 4 (a long time and I don't remember vividly) and have started new vegas.
    I like the set. I can't name too many super painful obvious glaring issues off the top of my head. The one thing I can think of that was pointed out to me was that the mardu deck is titled "Caesar's Legion" and Caesar is the face commander but there are direct enemies of Caesar in the deck. Which feels like a silly complaint, you can and will have opposing forces in the same deck all the time.
    Also I don't fully appreciate the flavor of the mysterious stranger card. Cast an instant/sorcery from grave at random don't quite feel like randomly coming in and shooting someone. I do like the card itself a lot though, very silly effect that seems fun and I enjoyed the one time I have played it.

It also felt very disjointed function wise (ruthless radrat should be in the mutant deck, power fist should be in the equipment/aura deck, Red Death and CAMP should be cut immediately from the Science deck). The previous UB commander deck WH40k was also had jank but felt very fun to play and see the cards.

    I'm only mildly interested in Fallout so I was just taking things as they came. Next year, with Marvel and Final Fantasy being more in my wheelhouse, I wonder if I will have the same response as you have here to any inconsistencies in those sets.

    I like Fallout a lot and I've played 1 through 4 multiple times, but I'm an arena-only player these days, so all I can get are some card sleeves and basic land skins, and those both feel out of place without any actual Fallout cards.
    This set might as well not exist for me, or anyone I know. None of my friends buy the cardboard anymore. Some of them don't like supporting Wotc for whatever reason, some just don't like spending lots of money they don't have to.
    Idk what informs the decision to release a 'universe beyond' set as purely physical or not. Shareholder talks? An algorithm on a computer somewhere? Dungeons and Dragons had 2 universe beyond sets that were fully available on Arena, LotR had 1 and a half, but Warhammer 40k's set was cardboard only, which was disappointing because I had been looking forward to it since its announcement.

    • @GCWeber
      @GCWeber 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Because this and 40k are commander decks and arena doesn't have commander. The second dnd set was also commander in paper (and as such the arena baldur's gate set is actually *extremely* different from the paper Baldur's gate set, with most of the legends being scrapped or redesigned), but the difference is that the DND sets aren't actually considered universes beyond. That's also why you guys *did* get LotR, because it was a regular, noncommander set

  • @Kishimyu
    @Kishimyu 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Yeah, I agree with most of you takes. The thing that bothered me the most were the commander choices. Caesar and Dogmeat were fine. Madison Li makes the most sense cause she heads an energy deck, BUT, who cares about the character. She's fine as a character but not exciting. Mothman was the worst choice imo. A Sultai rad deck should've been one of three many iconic Mutants throughout the series.
    All of the secondary commanders were actually pretty good. They actually might've been better as the head commanders save Madison.
    I feel like this product was a true crossover cashgrab. Like it seems they did the bare minimum research for Fallout. No real love was put into the cards and flavors. What a let down.
    Mysterious Stranger was the biggest crime imo 🤦🏻‍♂️

    While I do believe you are right about the mothman commander being the wrong choice thematically, they definitely did that because the mothman is more recognizable to the general public than any Fallout character. Mothman will just move units on its own and that is how corporations do things.

      @Dragonshade64 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Mechanically, the Lotor one is fine, but to exposure from it in the set I've come to the realization that I don't like Lord of the Rings and the dead and decaying story it has become. I would really like a Universes Within version of Shelob though, or maybe I'll just take my Shelob deck apart and upgrade it to a Thantis the War Weaver deck to get the Lotor stench off of it.

  • @axelostlund2348
    @axelostlund2348 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The 40k decks were a slam dunk. But, there are grievances. I could list them, but the most annoying one, what I still cannot forget, is that the nightbringer does not have deathtouch. The nightbringer, is death, death manifested, literal death, who improbted himself as the grim reaper and image of death in all the races in immemorial time.
    And he doesn't have deathtouch.

    What irks me the most is they made Arthur Maxson White and Black. Not only does Black not fit Arthur's character at all, this color choice makes it very difficult to make a BOS commander deck since hes the only BOS member to have Black as a requirement. They seemed to have based the card entirely of the quest Blind Betrayal while also ignoring the nuance of said quest. If one actually did the ECBOS questline in 4 they would know he is actually a Red White (a color combination common to the other BOS cards) father to his men type who despite convinced Danse is a Institute synth plant that has murdered the real Danse and that all synths are a threat to humanity will spare Danse rather easily.

    The flavor text looks like they opened the wiki and picked random quotes. Kinda disappointing.

    I really don't care if the set wasn't as good as it "could have been". It's fallout. In magic. Literally my two favorite games put together. Obviously wizards and Hasbro are going to drop the ball and it's not going to be perfect. They're more concerned with pushing product than making "flavorful" or "lore accurate" cards. At least we didn't get another lame crossover like MLP.

    I really don’t get the criticism of “cards find better support elsewhere”.
    Mr. House’s deck needs to roll as many die as possible. The best version of him flavor wise would be to get all the bobbleheads together and try and win with the Luck bobblehead. You definitely have a surplus of dice to just try winning this way. So you already have a wincon that feels Mr. House in flavor, as he loves to collect these rare trinkets in NV.
    Why is it a problem that you would need to build the rest of the deck around D&D or unfinity?
    This man owns a CASINO STRIP. Opening attractions and just having to throw dice for every action you take is still on flavor.
    Most of these channels really like to whine before even truly contemplating if flavor can still be found and played around outside cards printed for a set planned for just 4 precons.
