Magic the – After two years of inflated secondary market prices, Wizards of the Coast confirms a fresh print run of its popular Warhammer 40K Commander decks.
For two years. players looking to command the Necron Dynasty or lead the Forces of the Imperium have faced a steep barrier to entry: the secondary market. The Warhammer 40K Commander decks. which debuted in 2022 as Magic: The Gathering’s first major venture beyond its own lore. have long been trapped behind triple-digit price tags on sites like TCGplayer.
That cycle of scarcity is finally breaking. Wizards of the Coast confirmed a new print run for the four original decks, signaling a reprieve for collectors who have watched resale values climb steadily since the initial release.
“Yes, we can confirm that we did a small reprint of the Commander decks that will be available to distributors and stores soon,” a spokesperson for the company said, advising retailers and fans to check in with their local distributors for regional availability.
The reprint includes the full quartet that defined the Universes Beyond launch: the Chaos-aligned Ruinous Powers. the xenomorph-inspired Tyranid Swarm. the mono-black Necron Dynasty. and the massive Forces of the Imperium. While the company has not confirmed whether the premium. all-foil Collector’s Edition versions are part of this restock. or what the final price points will be compared to the original $59.99 MSRP. the mere presence of new supply on the horizon is a shift in the status quo.
This decision arrives as the Warhammer 40K universe undergoes a massive surge in visibility. The RTS franchise is set to return with Dawn of War IV this December. followed by the highly anticipated release of Total War: Warhammer 40K next year and the ongoing development of Henry Cavill’s cinematic universe.
Behind these logistics, the design strategy remains deliberate. Head designer Mark Rosewater previously noted that while there are no immediate plans to replace the Warhammer-branded cards with in-universe Magic equivalents. the company retains the capability to handle that on a case-by-case basis. For now, the focus is on replenishment. For fans who were priced out of the hobby, the wait—however brief—is drawing to a close.
