Universes Beyond Warhammer 40,000 Commander Deck Bundle

Latest and Greatest

Bottom Line

The Warhammer 40,000-themed set is the latest to release in 2022 and this collection brings together four ready-made decks.

Pros

The four decks are “The Ruinous Powers,” Necron Dynasties,” “Forces of the Imperium” and “Tyranid Swarm.” Each deck contains 98 non-foil cards and two traditional foil cards, a foil-etched display commander, 10 tokens, a life tracker and a deck box.

Cons

The cost of all these decks, even bundled together is high. The included cards are set, so there’s no chance of surprise rare cards.
