Provenance

Where it came from

The Cryptothrall was released as part of the Warhammer 40,000 Commander set for Magic: The Gathering, which launched in 2022 as a collaborative expansion between Wizards of the Coast and Games Workshop. This set was designed to integrate the grimdark aesthetic of the Warhammer 40,000 universe into the Commander format, featuring mechanically unique cards that reflect the lore of the Necron dynasties, Tyranids, Imperium, and Chaos factions.

Artist Henry Peters provided the illustration for this card, focusing on the unsettling, skeletal construct aesthetic characteristic of Necron Cryptothralls. These units serve as guardians and attendants to Crypteks, and Peters’ design captures their dual-bladed, automaton form intended to represent their role as unflinching protectors on the tabletop. The card was well-received by players for its efficient defensive utility, solidifying its place as a staple in Necron-themed artifact decks.
