Dalek Intensive Care

Description

Dalek Intensive Care appears as card number 577 in the 2023 Doctor Who set for Magic: The Gathering, offering a distinct twist on plane-based gameplay. Illustrated by Simon Dominic, this common card belongs to the Plane type with the subtypes The, Dalek, and Asylum. It serves as a functional land that interacts directly with the game state rather than simply producing mana. The card’s primary utility lies in its ability to transform the battlefield by exiling non-Dalek creatures you control. This effect triggers both when you planeswalk to this location and at the start of your upkeep. In exchange for removing opposing threats, you create a 3/3 black Dalek artifact creature token. These tokens arrive with menace and gain haste until the end of the turn, allowing for immediate aggressive plays. Additionally, whenever chaos ensues, you can direct a Dalek you control to deal damage equal to its power to a target creature you do not control. This secondary effect provides flexible removal options throughout the match. Collectors appreciate this card for its clever integration of the Doctor Who narrative into the Magic framework. It appeals to players who enjoy thematic synergy and those looking to complete the full catalog of the WHO expansion. The card’s low mana value and straightforward rules make it accessible for various formats, while its unique art and lore connections add depth for fans of both franchises. Whether you are building a thematic deck or adding to your collection of crossover cards, Dalek Intensive Care offers a compelling blend of strategy and storytelling.
