Doctor Who has taken us on plenty of adventures through time and space, but the latest journey is taking fans to the world of Magic: The Gathering (MTG).
Just in time for the 60th anniversary of the series, Wizards of the Coast (a division of Hasbro) has launched Magic: The Gathering – Doctor Who, bringing the Doctors, their companions, their foes, and more to fans in the form of four Commander decks. Each deck is part of the Universes Beyond series and features new-to-Magic cards, as well as reprints with new Doctor Who-themed art.
The four decks feature Doctors from the show’s history grouped together. Blast From the Past includes the first eight Doctors, Timey-Wimey highlights the ninth, 10th, and 11th Doctors, and Paradox Power showcases the 12th and 13th Doctors. The Masters of Evil deck contains many of the villains throughout the show’s 60 years.

Each deck has companions familiar to each Doctor and can be used in the Command Zone with any Doctor. The mechanics of the cards also reflect the show’s time period in the decks, while saga cards highlight fan-favorite shows from each Doctor’s run. Furthermore, each Commander deck includes plane cards, which represent the iconic locales of Doctor Who.
You can also collect special TARDIS showcase versions of several cards in this set. Only available in Collector Boosters, these versions focus on flashy styles to bring new artwork to the cards. Additionally, Collector Boosters could contain serialized Doctor cards. These printings of the Doctor are extremely rare; each card will receive only around 500 printings.
In addition to the Commander decks and Collector Boosters, fans can be on the lookout for Secret Lair drops with the Dalek and the Weeping Angels. Dalek land cards put the Doctors’ mechanical menace within the five mana landscapes while the Weeping Angel Secret Lair cards add an element of surprise and danger to any deck.
Magic: The Gathering – Doctor Who is available now from Amazon and wherever MTG products are sold.
