Rose Tyler

Description

The 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who expansion brings the iconic television series to the tabletop with Rose Tyler, card number 535. This Rare foil card depicts the beloved companion as a Legendary Human creature with a mana cost of {1}{W} and a power/toughness of 2/2. Designed by Mike Uziel, the card integrates seamlessly into Magic gameplay while honoring the source material's narrative depth. Rose Tyler possesses a distinctive ability centered around time counters. She receives a +1/+1 counter for each time counter already on the card, allowing her to grow in power as the game progresses. Her signature ability, Bad Wolf, triggers whenever she attacks. At that moment, the player places a time counter on Rose for each suspended card they own and for each other permanent they control that already has a time counter. This synergy encourages players to build around time-based strategies and permanent interactions. A key feature of this card is the Doctor's companion trait. This mechanic allows Rose Tyler to serve as a commander alongside the Doctor, enabling a unique two-commander format that appeals to both Magic strategists and Doctor Who fans. The foil finish adds a premium aesthetic to the card, making it a desirable addition to any themed collection. The combination of mechanical depth and nostalgic appeal ensures this card remains a standout piece in the 2023 set.
