Wizards of the Coast confirms reprint of MTG Warhammer 40K Commander decks
AI summarized Read in LT

Wizards of the Coast has confirmed to IGN that the four Magic: The Gathering Warhammer 40K Commander decks — originally released in 2022 as part of the Universes Beyond series — are getting a fresh print run. The decks will be available to distributors and game stores soon, though availability may vary by region.

A Wizards spokesperson described it as a "small reprint" and directed fans and WPN retailers to check with their distributors for stock. No pricing was confirmed, though the decks originally carried a $59.99 MSRP each. Wizards also did not clarify whether the all-foil Collector's Edition versions are included in the reprint. The four decks — Ruinous Powers (Chaos), Tyranid Swarm, Necron Dynasty, and Forces of the Imperium — each center on a distinct Warhammer 40K faction.

The original 2022 release marked the first Commander precons to step outside Magic's own lore, and they landed well with players. Since then, secondary market prices have climbed into the hundreds of dollars on platforms like TCGplayer, making them effectively inaccessible for many collectors. Even a limited reprint should ease some of that resale pressure. Magic head designer Mark Rosewater previously noted there are no standing plans to produce in-universe Magic versions of the deck-exclusive cards, though he left the door open on a card-by-card basis.

With Warhammer 40K having a strong cultural moment right now — Dawn of War IV arriving this December, Total War: Warhammer 40K slated for next year, and Henry Cavill's cinematic universe in development — the timing of this reprint makes sense. Magic itself has six sets planned for 2027, with more Universes Beyond announcements still to come.
