Astrid Peth

Description

The 2023 Doctor Who expansion for Magic: The Gathering brings the TARDIS crew to the battlefield with Astrid Peth, card number 11 in the set. Designed by Ekaterina Burmak, this Rare Legendary Human creature costs {1}{W} to cast and brings a distinct gameplay loop centered on resource generation and exploration. As a two-mana spell with 2/2 power and toughness, it offers an accessible entry point for decks looking to leverage its specific triggers. Astrid Peth’s abilities activate whenever it enters the battlefield or attacks, creating a Food token to support your mana base and life total. The card’s true strength emerges when you sacrifice a Clue or Food, allowing Astrid to explore. This mechanic lets you reveal the top card of your library: if it is a land, you put it into your hand; otherwise, you gain a +1/+1 counter and return the card to the top of your library or the graveyard. This flexible effect rewards deck builders who utilize food and clue synergies, making it a compelling choice for collectors who appreciate functional art in the TCG space. For fans of the Doctor Who series, owning this card connects your Magic collection to the broader narrative of the universe. The card stands as a testament to the crossover appeal of the Doctor Who franchise within the Magic: The Gathering ecosystem. Collectors often seek out cards from this set to complete their Doctor Who subset or to build thematic decks that highlight the unique mechanics introduced by the expansion. The clear rules text and balanced power level make Astrid Peth a standout piece for any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast looking to diversify their roster with licensed crossover content.
