Forget About Getting An MTG Warhammer 40K Commander Reprint, Unless You Live In The US

MTG Warhammer 40K Reprints Are Reportedly Only Coming To The US Published Oct 27, 2026, 8:49 AM EDT Niall (pronounced Ny-ul) is a UK-based writer who has been writing about Magic: The Gathering throughout his entire career, with everything from new set breakdowns and individual deck guides to offering his opinions on the state of formats and the general direction of the iconic TCG. Niall also has a rich history covering triple-A releases, sports games, and PC hardware. We've been closely following the ongoing drama regarding the Magic: The Gathering Warhammer 40K Commander precon reprints, and the story just took a new, disappointing twist. Reports say these reprints are only coming to the US, meaning the rest of the world is stuck fighting over secondary-market stock that now looks set to get much more expensive. While it was never expected that these Warhammer 40K Commander deck reprints would be extensive, especially given how very little information was being passed on by stores, it's still extremely disappointing for players who have been holding off on buying the decks and must now face the reality of prices returning to pre-announcement highs. US-Only Warhammer Reprint Report Leaves Players Extremely Unhappy IGN Germany reports that the supposed reprint run of the Warhammer 40K Commander decks is restricted to the US. After chasing Wizards of the Coast for more information on the reprints, a German retailer, The Attic, who attended Spiel Essen, revealed in a Discord message that the decks aren't coming back to Europe and will only be re-released in America, and that this was officially communicated during the event. You can find the full quote below (machine translated). "Unfortunately, we're returning from the fair with bad news regarding the Warhammer decks. According to our wholesalers, the reprint of the decks is only intended for America and will not be coming to Europe." The initial reaction to this report is largely negative, with widespread confusion over why a reprint would be ordered if it would only serve one region, and why this wasn't made clear when the news first broke to avoid people getting their hopes up. One user even suggests that the rumor of Wizards of the Coast "finding" additional stock, rather than reprinting it, gains more credence from this limited resale. Warhammer Deck Market Values Set To Rise Again If true, the obvious impact is that the value of Warhammer 40K decks is set to spike again. We've tracked the decline over the past few months, and it's been substantial, but since it doesn't look like much new stock is about to hit the market, sellers will start raising prices as many players are left with no other option to buy one. According to TCGPlayer, at the time of writing, there has been no meaningful increase, but prices are already slowly creeping back up on half of the decks. Necron Dynasties and The Ruinous Powers have both increased by around $10 each, while the other two decks have stopped declining. As this news circulates, sellers will raise prices in anticipation of demand picking up again; market value will respond a little more slowly, but it is expected to increase nonetheless. This news is ultimately disappointing for multiple reasons, but everyone involved has a right to be annoyed. Some sellers dumped stock as prices crashed after Wizards said a reprint run was coming; others didn't jump on those lower prices hoping to secure a reprinted deck and are now left facing the prospect of paying much more. The messaging around this reprint run missed the mark, and in a year when product availability and timeliness have been especially poor, it's just another issue to add to the already long list.
