“I’m a little bit of a Magic fan. Well, I wouldn’t even say I’m a fan!” told Quest Daily.

Howard expressed his admiration for the game’s renewed popularity, “I appreciate magic. I played some card games and just see the resurgence that they have had with Magic – and sort of licenses,” he said.

“It has exceeded everybody’s expectations.”

The Fallout Magic the Gathering cards have been tough to get a hold of! Collector’s boosters and some commander decks have been sold out at most stores.

“They’re really, really hard to get. So I don’t even have the ones I want!” Howard revealed.

Despite this, Howard shared his appreciation for the diverse artwork featured on the cards.

“I love seeing it translated in those different styles. It’s really cool,” he said.
