Dalek Squadron

Description

The 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who set brings the iconic television series to the tabletop through a collection of cards that blend fantasy mechanics with sci-fi lore. Among these, card number 65, titled Dalek Squadron, represents a distinct addition for collectors interested in the intersection of two major pop culture franchises. This product is part of the WHO set code, officially licensed and designed to appeal to both Magic players and Doctor Who enthusiasts. From a gameplay perspective, the Dalek Squadron functions as an Artifact Creature with the Dalek subtype. It enters the battlefield with a mana cost of two generic mana and one black mana, resulting in a mana value of three. The creature possesses three power and three toughness, making it a resilient presence on the board. Its printed rules text introduces two key keywords: Menace and Myriad. The Menace ability ensures that the creature can only be blocked by two or more creatures, while the Myriad ability triggers whenever it attacks. This allows the controller to create token copies that attack the defending player or their planeswalkers, with all tokens being exiled at the end of combat. The flavor text, "Find the Doctor! Seek, locate, destroy!", captures the relentless nature of the Daleks within the context of the game. Collectors often seek out this card to complete sets or to appreciate the unique design elements brought by artist Hector Ortiz. The Uncommon rarity designation places it in a specific tier within the Doctor Who expansion, offering a balance of accessibility and collectibility. Whether you are building a deck around the Dalek archetype or simply collecting cards from this crossover event, the Dalek Squadron offers a compelling piece of Magic: The Gathering history.
