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.

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.
