Description
Card number 152 in the 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who expansion, River Song is a striking Legendary Creature that bridges the gap between fantasy mechanics and sci-fi lore. Illustrated by John Di Giovanni, this card is classified as a Rare within the WHO set code, featuring the distinct mana cost of {1}{U}{R} and a power/toughness of 2/2. As a Human Time Lord Rogue, it offers collectors a unique intersection of Magic’s established creature types with the beloved Doctor Who universe. The gameplay mechanics of this card provide a distinct strategic identity for those building decks around it. Its ability, Meet in Reverse, inverts standard library access, allowing players to draw cards from the bottom of their library rather than the top. Additionally, the Spoilers ability triggers whenever an opponent scries, surveils, or searches their library, placing a +1/+1 counter on River Song and dealing damage to that player equal to its power. This dual-layered functionality makes it a compelling piece for collectors who appreciate complex interactions and thematic depth. For fans of both trading card games and the long-running television series, this card represents a tangible piece of crossover history, merging artistic design with innovative gameplay rules.
