Out of Time

Description

Released in 2023 as part of the Doctor Who crossover expansion, Out of Time is a Rare enchantment card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The design was created by artist JB Casacop, adding visual flair to the strategic gameplay elements inherent in the release. The card functions as a powerful board control tool with a mana cost of {1}{W}{W} and a mana value of 3. When played, it untaps all creatures on the battlefield before phasing them out until the enchantment leaves play. Each creature that phases out places a time counter on Out of Time, setting a countdown timer. The card utilizes the Vanishing mechanic, requiring the removal of one time counter at the beginning of each upkeep. Once the final counter is removed, the enchantment is sacrificed. This cycle of temporary protection followed by eventual removal creates dynamic decision points during gameplay. Collectors value this piece for its innovative fusion of fantasy mechanics with science fiction lore. The Doctor Who set represents a significant milestone in TCG history, bridging two distinct fandoms through high-quality card production. For those building themed collections, Out of Time serves as a notable entry point into the 2023 release. Its straightforward yet impactful rules text makes it accessible to new players while offering strategic depth for experienced commanders. The card’s white color identity allows it to fit into various deck structures, emphasizing its versatility. As a standalone collectible, it stands as a testament to the creative potential of collaborative expansions in the trading card world.
