Forces of the Imperium upgrade guide
Budget upgrades, cuts and the full decklist for Inquisitor Greyfax.
Forces of the Imperium is an Esper (white-blue-black) Commander precon from Warhammer 40,000 Commander (2022), led by Inquisitor Greyfax. Out of the box it runs 37 lands, 10 ramp pieces, 12 card-draw effects, 13 removal spells and 4 board wipes, with an average mana value of 3.81.
It already covers the Commander basics, so the best upgrades focus on synergy and a faster mana base (8 lands enter tapped). Its game plan leans on human tribal, tokens and lifegain, so the plan below favors cards that push that. The $50 plan below makes 10 swaps for $21.99.
