Me, the Immortal

Description

Me, the Immortal (Card 1021) is a distinctive legendary creature card from the 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who expansion. Designed by artist Yuliya Litvinova, this rare foil card represents a Human Rogue with a mana cost of five colored mana. The card's design and mechanics offer a unique twist on the classic trading card game format, appealing to both Magic enthusiasts and fans of the long-running British science fiction series. The gameplay for Me, the Immortal is centered around a dynamic counter system. At the beginning of combat on the controller's turn, the player chooses to place a +1/+1, first strike, vigilance, or menace counter on the creature. A defining feature of this card is that these counters persist even if the creature leaves the battlefield, moving with it to any zone other than the hand or library. This persistence adds strategic depth, rewarding players who can protect and maneuver the creature effectively. Another key mechanic allows the caster to retrieve Me, the Immortal from the graveyard. By discarding two cards from their hand, the player may cast this card from the graveyard in addition to paying its normal mana costs. This ability provides a second chance to utilize the creature's powerful abilities, making it a resilient asset in prolonged matches. For collectors of the Doctor Who set, this card is a sought-after piece due to its foil finish and unique rules text. Whether you are building a themed deck or expanding your Magic: The Gathering collection, Me, the Immortal offers a blend of thematic flavor and mechanical innovation.
