Graham O'Brien

Description

This Magic: The Gathering trading card features Graham O'Brien as a legendary creature, specifically categorized as a Human Pilot. Released in 2023 as part of the Doctor Who set, this card carries the number 104 and is printed with a foil finish, distinguishing it within the product line. The card’s mana cost is {1}{G}, requiring one green mana and one colorless mana to cast, with a total mana value of 2. The card’s abilities are centered around the Paradox mechanic. Whenever a spell is cast from anywhere other than the hand, the controller creates a Food token. This artifact token can be sacrificed for three life by paying two mana and tapping it. Additionally, the card includes the Doctor's companion trait, allowing it to be paired with The Doctor as a commander in the Commander format. The flavor text, "Now, I always come prepared," reflects the character's role as a capable ally in the TARDIS. Collectors of the Doctor Who expansion appreciate how this card integrates narrative elements from the television series into the strategic gameplay of Magic: The Gathering. The foil treatment adds visual appeal for those building themed decks or collecting set completions. With its unique ability to generate resources when casting spells from outside the hand, the card offers interesting strategic possibilities for players who enjoy unconventional spell-casting strategies. The artist for this print is Tyukina Tatiana, whose work contributes to the distinct aesthetic of the 2023 release.
