Idris, Soul of the TARDIS

Description

The 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who foil card Idris, Soul of the TARDIS (Card #135) stands as a pivotal piece for fans of the intersection between tabletop strategy and the beloved sci-fi universe. Designed by Manuel Castañón, this rare legendary creature brings the character of Idris into the Magic arena as a Human Incarnation with a mana value of three. At its core, Idris introduces a dynamic strategy centered around the Vanishing and Imprint abilities. When this card enters the battlefield, it requires players to exile another artifact they control. This exiled card then leaves the battlefield when Idris does, creating a temporary but potent link between the two cards. During this time, Idris gains all activated and triggered abilities of the exiled artifact, along with a +X/+X bonus where X is the exiled card's mana value. This mechanic allows for versatile gameplay, enabling players to adapt their board state by swapping artifacts and leveraging their powerful effects. For collectors, the foil finish adds a layer of visual appeal that highlights the card’s intricate details and rarity. The card’s blue and red color identity allows for flexible deck building, appealing to players who enjoy hybrid strategies. Whether you are looking to complete your Doctor Who collection or add a unique legend to your gameplay, this card offers a blend of narrative depth and mechanical innovation.
