Description
The Eighth Doctor (card number 559z) is a Legendary Creature — Time Lord Doctor from the 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who set. This foil card features a mana cost of {4}{W}{U} and boasts a power and toughness of 4/4, making it a formidable presence on the battlefield. As a Rare card with the set code WHO, it stands out as a key component for collectors and players who appreciate the crossover appeal of the Doctor Who franchise within the Magic universe. The card’s abilities offer unique strategic value. Upon entering the battlefield, it mills three cards from your library, helping to dig through your deck for essential resources. Furthermore, once per turn, you may play a historic land or cast a historic permanent spell from your graveyard. If you do, that spell gains a protective ability: if it would leave the battlefield, it is exiled instead. This mechanic encourages deep graveyard synergy and strategic planning, rewarding players who build around historic permanents. Designed by Jack Hughes, this foil version of The Eighth Doctor adds a premium finish to any collection. Whether you are a long-time Magic player or a new collector drawn to the Doctor Who theme, this card offers both aesthetic appeal and gameplay utility. The combination of iconic character representation and innovative mechanics makes this card a standout addition to any Doctor Who-themed or historic-focused deck.
