Warhammer 40,000 Commander Decks is a product in the Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond series released by Wizards of the Coast.[2] The set is expected to be released in late 2022.[3]

Set details

UB Warhammer 1
UB Warhammer 2

This is a cross-over product based on the Warhammer 40k miniature wargame produced by Games Workshop. The cards in this set feature the triangular holofoil stamp of non-canon cards. The set features new art, new cards, and powerful reprints all set in the world of Warhammer 40,000.[3] All the cards feature Warhammer 40,000 art and characters.

Warhammer’s world isn’t evenly colored balanced as it wasn't created with the color pie in mind. R&D solved this problem by making Commander decks instead of a full set.[4]

Storyline

Most Warhammer 40,000 fiction is set around the turn of the 41st millennium (about 38,000 years in the future). Although Warhammer 40,000 is mostly a science-fiction setting, it adapts a number of tropes from fantasy fiction, such as magic, daemons, and races such as Orks (Orcs) and Eldar (Elves); "psykers" fill the role of wizards in the setting.

Marketing

The set is accompanied by some Secret Lairs featuring the same IP.[5]
