Description
The 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who set brings iconic sci-fi elements into the TCG, and The Dalek Emperor stands as a centerpiece for fans of both franchises. This foil Rare card, numbered 997, features the Legendary Artifact Creature — Dalek, bringing a menacing presence to the battlefield. Designed by Mark Tedin, the card captures the essence of the character within the structured art style of the crossover set. In gameplay, The Dalek Emperor is a seven-mana, six-over-six creature that commands attention. Its Affinity for Daleks mechanic reduces its casting cost based on the number of Daleks you control, making it increasingly efficient as you build your army. Other Daleks you control gain haste, allowing for aggressive plays. At the beginning of combat, opponents must face a tough choice: sacrifice a creature of their choice or allow you to create a 3/3 black Dalek artifact creature token with menace. This strategic depth makes it a valuable addition to any deck focusing on the Dalek archetype. Collectors appreciate this card for its unique crossover appeal and powerful abilities, making it a standout piece in the Doctor Who subset of Magic: The Gathering.
