The Dalek Emperor

Description

As card number 120 in the WHO set, this foil release is highly sought after by fans of both the trading card game and the long-running science fiction series. The card features a distinctive foil finish that enhances its visual appeal for collectors who appreciate the tactile quality of premium prints. For players, The Dalek Emperor offers a powerful presence on the battlefield. This legendary artifact creature requires a mana cost of five generic, one black, and one red mana to cast, resulting in a mana value of seven. It enters the battlefield as a formidable 6/6 threat with the Dalek subtype. The card’s abilities are designed to dominate the game state through its affinity mechanic and board control options. The affinity for Daleks allows the player to reduce the casting cost by one mana for each Dalek they already control, making it increasingly efficient to deploy as the board fills with allied Dalek tokens. Additionally, other Daleks under the player's control gain haste, allowing them to attack immediately. The card’s most strategic ability triggers at the beginning of combat, forcing each opponent to make a difficult choice: sacrifice a creature of their choice or allow the creation of a 3/3 black Dalek artifact creature token with menace. This mechanic encourages aggressive play and puts significant pressure on opponents. This Doctor Who release provides a tangible link to the lore of the Dalek Emperor, making it a meaningful addition to any themed collection. Whether you are building a Dalek-focused deck or simply appreciate the artistry of the WHO set, this card represents a standout moment in crossover TCG history. Its combination of iconic subject matter and complex gameplay mechanics ensures it remains a relevant and interesting card for both new and veteran players.
