Provenance

Where it came from

The Lychguard card was released in 2022 as part of the Necron Dynasties Commander deck for the Magic: The Gathering Warhammer 40,000 collaboration. This set represented a strategic crossover between Wizards of the Coast and Games Workshop, aiming to translate the high-fantasy sci-fi lore of the Necron race into the mechanics of a tabletop card game.

The artwork features the Lychguard, the elite bodyguards of the Necron Overlords, depicted in their signature metallic aesthetic. The design team focused on emphasizing the durability and protective nature of these units, utilizing the card's defensive abilities to mirror their role in the source material as stalwart sentinels tasked with guarding high-ranking nobility.
