River of Tears

Description

The Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who set, released in 2023, offers a unique crossover experience for fans of both the trading card game and the long-running British series. Among the cards in this expansion is the River of Tears, identified by card number 888 in the WHO set code. This card is a Land type with a mana value of 0, designed to provide utility within the game's mechanics. Produced in a rare foil finish, the River of Tears card stands out for collectors seeking specific parallels or thematic additions to their collection. The card's design includes a distinct mana ability: tapping it adds one blue mana, but if a land was played during that turn, it adds one black mana instead. This mechanic reflects the card's color identity of black and blue. Oliver Wetter served as the artist for this release, contributing to the set's visual identity. For enthusiasts of the Doctor Who franchise or Magic: The Gathering, this card represents a tangible piece of media history. It is often sought after by collectors looking to complete the Doctor Who subset or those who appreciate the intersection of fantasy gaming and sci-fi storytelling. The combination of the foil treatment and the specific gameplay function makes it a notable item for building a comprehensive collection of the 2023 crossover release.
