The Mutant Menace preconstructed commander deck is one of my favorites in the past few years. It is very on-theme for the Fallout franchise -- as it should be, being a Universes Beyond set! It has memorable characters from the Fallout video games, with the face commander The Wise Mothman and alternate commander The Master, Transcendent.
Mutant Menace utilizes the new and unique mechanic called of Radiation (represented by "rad counters"). This encourages milling yourself and/or your opponents for great value! The deck also has a +1/+1 counters theme, allowing you to win via commander damage or good ol' fashioned beatdown.
Unfortunately, being preconstructed commander deck, Mutant Menace faces the same inefficiencies that most precons do: lack of focus. The deck, as-is, has too many themes that it tries to juggle. One commander cares about giving everyone rad counters, while the other wants specific players to get rad counters to bring back powerful creatures from the milled cards. Additionally, the +1/+1 counters are split between wanting to go wide (lots of creatures) or go tall (one big creature).
There is only one card in the deck that helps to regain the life you will inevitably lose from rad counters: Strong, the Brutish Thespian. When Strong is on the field, he allows you to gain life from radiation, rather than lose it. However, he costs a lot and you may not be lucky enough to have a lot of rad counters to benefit much from this ability.
Overall, Mutant Menace is still a great commander deck. It is very fun out of the box and it can also be upgraded to really focus on a specific gameplan. Out of all the Fallout precons, Mutant Menace is by far my favorite.
