Missy

Description

The 2023 Doctor Who Missy Magic trading card, designated as number 431, introduces a unique crossover element to the Magic: The Gathering universe. This Rare card features the character Missy as a Legendary Creature — Time Lord Rogue, blending sci-fi narrative with strategic gameplay. Designed by Ekaterina Burmak, the card carries a mana cost of {3}{U}{B}{R} and a mana value of 6, requiring a diverse color identity of black, blue, and red to play effectively. With power and toughness rated at 4/5, Missy serves as a substantial presence on the battlefield. The card’s abilities revolve around recursion and disruption. When another nonartifact creature dies, Missy can return it to the battlefield under your control, transformed into a face-down, tapped 2/2 Cyberman artifact creature. This mechanic allows players to repurpose their graveyard resources in unexpected ways. Additionally, at the beginning of the end step, Missy forces each opponent to make a villainous choice: either suffer 1 damage from each artifact creature you control, or draw a card while chaos ensues. This dual-effect design offers flexibility, rewarding players who build around artifact synergies or card advantage. For collectors of crossover merchandise, this Missy card represents a distinct intersection of popular television and tabletop gaming. The Doctor Who set brings iconic characters into the structured environment of Magic: The Gathering, appealing to fans of both franchises. Whether used in casual games or studied for its intricate rules text, this card stands out for its thematic integration and mechanical depth. Enthusiasts looking to complete the Doctor Who set or expand their collection with unique legendary creatures will find this release particularly interesting. The card’s ability to manipulate the battlefield state through recursion and forced choices makes it a memorable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection.
