Strax, Sontaran Nurse

Description

Strax, Sontaran Nurse stands as a unique entry in the 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who set, bridging the gap between the fantasy world of the trading card game and the sci-fi universe of the beloved television series. Card number 1035 features the Sontaran warrior in a role that defies traditional expectations, presented here as a legendary Alien Cleric with a distinct red and green mana cost. The foil finish adds a layer of visual depth to the card, making it a standout piece for collectors who appreciate the intersection of pop culture and strategic gameplay. Designed by John Tedrick, this card introduces a mechanic centered on sacrifice and chaos, reflecting Strax’s chaotic-good personality. The card’s abilities allow players to sacrifice artifacts to force random combat interactions, while also rewarding damage output with +1/+1 counters. This dual nature makes it a versatile tool in deck construction, appealing to both narrative-driven collectors and competitive players alike. For collectors, acquiring this card means owning a piece of the crossover event that brought Gallifrey and the TARDIS into the MTG arena. The rare rarity status of the foil version further enhances its desirability within the set. Whether you are building a thematic deck around the Doctor Who expansion or simply adding a high-impact creature to your collection, Strax provides both strategic utility and cultural significance.
