Description
Released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who crossover set, The First Doctor (card number 414) stands as a distinctive Legendary Creature — Time Lord Doctor within the product. Designed by artist Kieran Yanner, this rare card appeals to both TCG enthusiasts and fans of the long-running sci-fi series. Mechanically, The First Doctor introduces strategic depth through its triggered abilities. Upon entering the battlefield, it allows players to search their library or graveyard for a card named TARDIS, revealing it and adding it to their hand. If the library is searched, the deck is shuffled, adding a layer of randomness and strategy to deck building. Additionally, whenever a spell with cascade is cast, The First Doctor grants a +1/+1 counter to a target artifact or creature, enhancing board presence and synergizing with specific deck archetypes. Collectors seeking to expand their knowledge of crossover sets or complete their collection of TARDIS-related cards will find this release noteworthy. The card’s white and blue mana cost makes it accessible for various formats, while its legendary status ensures it holds a special place in any Magic: The Gathering collection. Whether for gameplay utility or thematic appreciation, The First Doctor represents a key piece of the Doctor Who set's identity.
