Missy

Description

The Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who expansion, released in 2023, brings the TARDIS and its iconic occupants to the battlefield. Among the most compelling additions is card number 546, Missy, a Legendary Creature — Time Lord Rogue. This card captures the chaotic and villainous essence of the character within the structured rules of the game. Designed by artist Karen Hallion, the card features a mana cost of {3}{U}{B}{R} and boasts a formidable power and toughness of 4/5. Missy is a three-color creature, utilizing Blue, Black, and Red mana to execute her unique abilities. Her design as a Rogue Time Lord allows for strategic gameplay that revolves around disruption and board control. Whenever another nonartifact creature dies, Missy can return it to the battlefield under your control face down and tapped as a 2/2 Cyberman artifact creature. This mechanic encourages players to leverage opponent's losses to gain a temporary advantage, turning the tide of battle in unexpected ways. The card’s end-step ability adds another layer of complexity. At the beginning of your end step, each opponent faces a villainous choice: either each artifact creature you control deals 1 damage to them, or you draw a card and chaos ensues. This decision point forces opponents into difficult situations, highlighting Missy’s manipulative nature. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering and Doctor Who memorabilia alike appreciate this card for its clever integration of lore into gameplay. It serves as a standout piece for those looking to build themed decks or expand their collection of crossover trading cards. The WHO set code further cements its place in the growing universe of Magic: The Gathering's themed expansions, offering a fresh perspective on legendary creatures.
