Fetid Pools

Description

The 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who expansion brings the TARDIS’s adventures to the tabletop, featuring unique cards that blend sci-fi lore with strategic gameplay. At the center of this crossover is Fetid Pools, card number 868 in the WHO set, designed by artist Miklós Ligeti. This rare foil card serves as a critical resource for players seeking to build decks that utilize both blue and black mana sources. As a dual land, Fetid Pools enters the battlefield tapped, meaning players cannot use it for mana during the turn it is played. However, its ability allows it to produce either one blue mana or one black mana when tapped. This flexibility is particularly valuable in formats where mana consistency is key, allowing deck builders to support spells from either color identity without needing separate land slots. Additionally, the card features the Cycling mechanic for two mana, providing a way to discard the land and draw a new card if it is not needed immediately, adding a layer of strategic depth to hand management. The foil finish of Fetid Pools enhances its visual appeal, making it a standout piece for any collection. Whether you are a seasoned player looking to expand your mana base or a fan of the series collecting memorabilia, this card represents a unique intersection of fantasy gaming and popular culture.
