My take on the Science! Fallout precon. Still going Artifact Aggro with Energy.

---

As with all my Universes Beyond precons, I like to keep as many original cards as possible, for the flavor. I think all the cuts were on-point for flavor, but are just a little too weak or support some other deck archetype. I felt like this deck was the weakest of the four out-of-the-box, so I made a few more swaps than I might normally--especially once Modern Horizons 3 was released and had all the new {ENERGY}Energy{ENERGY} cards.
