Because Wizards of the Coast absolutely refuses to not go all-in on capitalism, there are also collector’s editions of each of these decks, which will set you back between £100 and £200 - each. That’s around double what you’d expect a Commander deck to cost at launch, and it gets worse. Each of the Warhammer 40k decks will set you back around £60, which means you’ll be shelling out £240 if you want all of them (assuming you can’t find a deal). We’re going to get the big complaint out of the way early: the price. It’s still nice to see that we can get cards that show a lot of love for both Magic: The Gathering and whatever it’s crossing over with, and MTG’s Warhammer 40k decks are the most sizeable and meaty set we’ve seen yet. That’s not what we’d call a bold claim given that MTG’s best crossover sets so far, the Dungeons & Dragons ones, aren’t even a part of the Universes Beyond line, and all of the things that are in the series tend to be Secret Lairs, which is a divisive product.
We mean that in a good way though, because this set is something of a shining example of how to do a crossover set in the Universes Beyond series. Magic: The Gathering’s Warhammer 40,000 Commander decks are upon us, and like a swarm of Tyranids they’re all over the place and ready to tear things apart.
