There you have it. There will be a crossover between Warhammer 40K and Magic the Gathering. Hopefully the link works, I am posting this from my phone.

There we go, a more official post on the GW community site itself.

Bets that this card set will be just as 'balanced' as regular 40k?

or as regular magic? lol

You'd know better than me regarding the current MtG 'balance'. Only time I played MtG in a non-computer format (and even that was a long time ago) was pre-2000 with a friend's collection.

If this is anything like their godzilla card they did. Its cards they are already making for the launch but some are renamed with different art for the theme.

Which would be neat i would get the in arena lol

I was tempted by this to try getting back into magic, as I used to play some 17-18 years ago. However, I then remember that where I played we had a sort of rules to not use the broken/over powered combos and such. I doubt anyone at the nexus has such a rule, and I'm terrible at making decks, so I'd lose within 2-3 turns every time I'd play for the most part, hahaha.

Some new details came out. It will not be alternative art for existing cards, but rather all new cards themed around 40K entirely. Apparently there will be a commander deck. I don't think those existed back when I played, so I don't know what that means.

Depending on the cards they come out with, it may be worht it to pick up a few singles of models I like just to have, but this doesn't interest me outside of a casual colleector's perspective.
