Where it came from
The Cryptothrall card was introduced in the Warhammer 40,000 Commander set for Magic: The Gathering, released in 2022 as part of a collaborative expansion between Wizards of the Coast and Games Workshop. These cards were designed to integrate the dark, gothic science-fiction aesthetic of the Necron faction from the Warhammer 40,000 universe into the mechanical framework of Magic: The Gathering. The set aimed to appeal to fans of both tabletop communities by translating established lore and unit archetypes into playable game pieces.
The art for the Cryptothrall card portrays the mechanical, insectoid constructs known for serving as silent bodyguards to high-ranking Necron Crypteks. The design focuses on the eerie, soulless nature of the Necron race, utilizing sharp, metallic aesthetics and green energy motifs that define the faction's visual identity. Within the Commander format, the card was well-received for its utility as a protective element in Necron-themed decks, effectively mirroring its role on the miniature tabletop game board as a dedicated guardian.
