Description
Stormcage Containment Facility is a distinct plane card from the 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who set, identified by card number 600 and set code WHO. Designed by Calder Moore, this common card introduces a unique planar archetype to the trading card game. The card functions as an Unknown Planet, serving as a strategic engine rather than a traditional land or creature. Its primary value lies in its ability to interact with a player's graveyard. By granting escape to creature cards in the graveyard, it allows players to cast these cards for a cost equal to their mana value plus the exile of three other cards. This mechanic provides a reliable way to recur threats from the discard pile. Additionally, the card features an ability that detains a target creature an opponent controls, preventing it from attacking or blocking and disabling its activated abilities until your next turn. This combination of recursion and disruption makes the Stormcage Containment Facility a compelling addition for collectors focusing on the Doctor Who crossover. It represents a clever intersection of sci-fi lore and strategic gameplay within the Magic: The Gathering universe. For fans of the series, this card offers a tangible piece of the narrative, while TCG players appreciate its unique planar rules text. The inclusion of such thematic elements enhances the appeal of the Doctor Who set, making each card a notable item for completionists and investors alike.

Each creature card in your graveyard has escape. The escape cost is equal to the card's mana cost plus exile three other cards from your graveyard.

(Until your next turn, that creature can't attack or block and its activated abilities can't be activated.)
