The Auton Soldier enters the Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who set (2023) as card number 944, offering collectors a unique intersection of sci-fi lore and strategic gameplay. Designed by Greg Opalinski, this foil rare card represents the terrifying Cybermen precursors known as Autons, which originally appeared in the classic 1970s television serial "Robot." For fans of the franchise, this release serves as a tangible connection to the Doctor's most enduring adversaries, rendered through the intricate lens of Wizards of the Coast's trading card game. From a mechanical perspective, the Auton Soldier is an Artifact Creature — Alien Soldier with a mana value of 6. Its ability to enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature already on the field makes it a versatile tool for competitive and casual play alike. The card’s most distinctive feature is the myriad keyword, which triggers when the creature attacks. This effect allows the controller to create tapped token copies of the Auton Soldier for each opponent other than the defending player, targeting them or their planeswalkers. These tokens are exiled at the end of combat, creating a sweeping board presence that can overwhelm defenses. The foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal, catching the light and distinguishing the card in any collection or deck box. Whether you are building a Commander deck focused on token strategies or simply curating a library of crossover merchandise, the Auton Soldier stands out as a powerful and thematically rich addition. Its ability to mimic other creatures ensures it remains relevant across various formats, while its connection to the Doctor Who universe appeals to a broader audience beyond traditional TCG enthusiasts.
