Where it came from
The War in Heaven card was released as part of the Warhammer 40,000 Commander set for Magic: The Gathering in 2022. This collection marked a significant collaboration between Wizards of the Coast and Games Workshop, integrating the grimdark science fiction lore of the Warhammer 40,000 universe into the mechanics of a Magic deck. The card is designed to represent the cataclysmic conflict between the Necrontyr and the Old Ones, a foundational event in 40,000 lore that reshaped the entire galaxy.
The illustration for the card reflects the aesthetic of the Necron race, emphasizing the ancient, monolithic technology and the desolation of the period. Artists commissioned for this set aimed to bridge the visual language of both franchises, ensuring that the card felt authentic to the tabletop aesthetic of Warhammer while remaining functional within a Commander game. The release was generally well-received by fans of both games for its ability to condense thousands of years of fictional history into a single, cohesive game piece.
