Start the TARDIS

Description

Released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who crossover set, the 'Start the TARDIS' card is identified by the number 56 and the set code WHO. This Uncommon Sorcery card features artwork by Mandy Jurgens and is designed for players who appreciate the strategic depth of the game. It is a blue spell with a mana cost of {1}{U} and a mana value of 2, making it an accessible inclusion in various deck builds. The card's design incorporates two distinct mechanical abilities that enhance gameplay flexibility. First, it allows players to surveil two cards from the top of their library, examining them and potentially moving any number into their graveyard while returning the rest to the top. This process is immediately followed by the ability to draw a card, providing efficient card selection and advantage. Second, the card features the Jump-start ability, which permits casting it from the graveyard by discarding a card in addition to paying its mana cost. Upon doing so, the card is exiled rather than returning to the hand, offering a one-time burst of value when resources are low. Collectors of trading card games often seek out specific cards that bridge pop culture franchises with complex mechanical interactions. The 'Start the TARDIS' card represents a unique intersection of these interests, combining the iconic Doctor Who theme with the intricate rules of Magic. Its Uncommon rarity ensures it is a attainable yet distinct piece for those building their Doctor Who collection or looking for unique blue sorceries. The card’s dual-functionality makes it a notable entry for enthusiasts tracking the evolution of crossover sets in the Magic: The Gathering universe.
