Today, we’re here to help you upgrade the Necron Dynasties precon. Born out of …
It has been some time coming, but we finally know what Universes Beyond: Warhammer 40k will look like. It is perhaps the most ambitious Magic crossover project to date — four new preconstructed decks centered on one of the factions from the Warhammer 40k universe and full of many more new cards than usual.
