Among the notable additions is the Auton Soldier, a foil card that brings a distinct mechanical identity to the battlefield. As an Artifact Creature — Alien Soldier, this card offers collectors and players a fascinating glimpse into a universe where technology and organic life intersect in complex ways. The Auton Soldier commands a mana cost of four generic mana and two blue mana, reflecting its status as a six-mana Artifact Creature. Its primary appeal lies in its flexible entry ability, allowing it to enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature already present. This versatility is balanced by specific limitations: the copy is not legendary, gains the Artifact type in addition to its other types, and possesses the myriad ability. This mechanic creates dynamic board states, as the creature can generate tapped token copies attacking each opponent other than the defending player when it attacks, with those tokens exiling at the end of combat. For collectors, the foil finish adds a layer of aesthetic value, catching the light with every move. The card, numbered 353 in the set, is designed by Greg Opalinski and serves as a key piece for fans of both the Magic: The Gathering universe and the Doctor Who franchise. It represents a niche but highly engaging intersection of two beloved pop culture phenomena. Whether you are looking to complete a Doctor Who-themed collection or add a versatile artifact to your deck, this card stands out for its creative design and strategic potential. The Auton Soldier remains a testament to the innovative spirit of modern trading card game design, merging intricate gameplay mechanics with rich narrative themes.
