Jamie McCrimmon

Description

Jamie McCrimmon enters the Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who set as card number 105, bringing the iconic companion to the battlefield. Released in 2023, this crossover expansion blends the fantasy mechanics of Magic with the sci-fi lore of the beloved television series. As a Legendary Creature — Human Warrior, Jamie McCrimmon costs two generic mana and one green mana to cast, resulting in a mana value of three. The card features a power and toughness of 2/2, establishing a solid early-game presence for green-based decks. The card's design and mechanics focus on synergy with the historic archetype. Jamie McCrimmon possesses the Trample ability, allowing excess damage to push through opposing blockers. More notably, the creature has a triggered ability that activates whenever you cast a historic spell. This effect grants +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the mana value of the spell cast. Since artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas are all classified as historic, this ability allows Jamie McCrimmon to grow significantly larger during the course of a game, turning a modest warrior into a formidable threat. Collectors of both Magic: The Gathering and Doctor Who appreciate this card for its thematic representation. The foil finish adds a premium aesthetic to the card, making it a desirable addition for those building collections around the Doctor Who expansion. Artists like Wangjie Li contribute to the visual identity of the set, ensuring each card captures the essence of the source material. For commanders looking to utilize Jamie McCrimmon in the Commander format, the card supports the Doctor's companion rule, allowing players to pair Jamie with the Doctor in a two-commander setup. This flexibility enhances its appeal among casual and casual-competitive players who enjoy building themed decks that leverage historic spell interactions.
