The Five Doctors

Description

The 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who set bridges the gap between tabletop strategy and iconic sci-fi history with the release of card #706, The Five Doctors. Designed by artist JB Casacop, this foil sorcery captures the essence of the franchise’s legacy, offering a unique mechanical twist for players who appreciate both lore and gameplay depth. As a key piece in the WHO set, this card allows collectors to engage with a narrative-driven mechanic that rewards strategic planning and resource management. The Five Doctors functions as a powerful sorcery with a mana cost of five generic and one green mana, totaling a mana value of six. Its primary effect allows you to search your library and/or graveyard for up to five Doctor cards, revealing them to your opponents before placing them into your hand. If you search your library, you must shuffle afterward to maintain game integrity. A kicker cost of {5} provides an alternative, more aggressive outcome: if paid, the searched cards are put directly onto the battlefield instead of your hand, enabling immediate board presence. For Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, this card represents a significant crossover moment, blending the intricate rules of the trading card game with the expansive universe of Doctor Who. The foil finish adds a layer of visual appeal and collectibility, making it a standout addition to any themed collection. Whether you are building a competitive deck focused on creature density or simply expanding your library with thematic cards, The Five Doctors offers a compelling play pattern that honors the source material while providing robust game mechanics.
