Susan Foreman

Description

The 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who expansion brings the TARDIS crew into the Commander format with Susan Foreman, card number 715 in the WHO set. As a Legendary Creature — Time Lord with a mana cost of one generic and one green mana, this rare foil card offers a distinct strategic option for players building green decks. Designed by Wangjie Li, the card serves as a Doctor's companion, allowing you to designate two commanders if the other is the Doctor. Susan Foreman’s abilities focus on manipulating the planar deck, a key mechanic in the Doctor Who set. Instead of performing a standard planeswalk, you can look at the top two cards of your planar deck, place one on the bottom, and put the other on top before planeswalking. This subtle control can help manage the volatility of the planar mechanic. Additionally, Susan provides mana acceleration; tapping her adds one green mana to your pool, supporting the early-game development of green strategies. The foil treatment adds visual appeal, making it a standout piece in any Doctor Who collection. Whether you are building a themed Commander deck or simply looking to add a rare foil card to your binder, Susan Foreman delivers both narrative charm and mechanical utility. This card stands as a testament to the crossover appeal of Magic: The Gathering, merging the rich lore of the Doctor Who universe with the strategic depth of the TCG.
