Magic: The Gathering Delays Its Warhammer 40,000 Commander Decks

thegamer.com:

Wizards of the Coast has delayed the release of the coming Warhammer 40,000 Commander decks. Originally set to release in July, those decks will now release on October 7 alongside Magic: The Gathering's returning joke set, Unfinity.

"Due to ongoing global supply chain challenges and delays in production, the global release of Warhammer 40,000 Commander decks is now October 7, 2022," wrote Wizards in an update on the official Magic blog. "This release date change includes both the regular and Collector's Edition Warhammer 40,000 Commander decks."

The delay will also affect Magic’s Warhammer 40K, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and Blood Bowl Secret Lair drops, although Wizards was unable to provide a new release date. An updated time frame for the Secret Lair crossovers will be announced "in the coming weeks."

We got a preview of these decks at last month's Dominaria United showcase. As expected from the grim universe of Warhammer 40,000, most of the four decks revealed will feature black mana symbols, including the Necron Dynasties, the Forces of the Imperium, and The Ruinous Powers. Only the Tyranid Swarm will keep things colorful with green, blue, and red mana symbols. The four Commander decks will feature reprinted cards as well as totally new cards with new mechanics as well.

This isn't the first time Wizards of the Coast has been forced to delay a Magic expansion due to the ongoing supply chain chaos caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfinty was originally supposed to be released earlier this year but was also delayed to October 7 due to supply issues. Dungeons & Dragons was also forced to delay its upcoming Journeys
