The Magic: The Gathering Warhammer 40,000 release date has been pushed back by several months. Originally slated for mid-August, creator Wizards of the Coast has announced that these sets will now arrive this October 7.
Unfortunately, it isn't just the core Magic: The Gathering Warhammer 40,000 Commander and regular decks that have been delayed. All Secret Lair packs associated with Warhammer (Orks, Age of Sigmar, Blood Bowl) have also been affected. An updated launch-window hasn't been given for these sets to join the best card games on shelves, but further details will apparently be available in the coming weeks.
Still, there is a silver lining - most of the Commander decks for MTG Warhammer 40,000 have been reduced by 26% ahead of release. You can currently pre-order the Ruinous Powers deck for $41.44 at Amazon (was $56.04), the Tyranid Swarm for a reduced $41.44, or the Forces of the Imperium for less than $45. You can also set aside a copy of the Necron Dynasties deck for $41.44 at Amazon, but that isn't strictly listed as a 'deal'.
According to Wizard's official statement, this change to the Magic: The Gathering Warhammer 40,000 release date is due to "ongoing global supply chain challenges and delays in production". This is the same day that Unfinity, revolving around a colorful but bizarre space carnival, arrives.
There's no word of other sets like Dominaria United being delayed, and Double Masters 2022 is still on track for an early July launch, but we'll keep you updated if that changes.
