The Master, Multiplied

Description

The 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who expansion brings the TARDIS time traveler’s most dangerous nemesis directly into the Commander format with The Master, Multiplied. Card number 1020 in the WHO set, this foil version of the Legendary Creature — Time Lord Rogue captures the villain’s signature obsession with duplication and identity. Designed by Lie Setiawan, the card serves as a centerpiece for decks seeking to overwhelm opponents through token multiplication rather than singular power. The Master, Multiplied enters the battlefield with a mana cost of {4}{B}{R} and boasts a power and toughness of 4/3. Its most defining feature is the Myriad mechanic, which allows it to create token copies of itself for each opponent you do not control. Unlike standard duplication effects, the rules text specifically notes that the "legend rule" does not apply to the creature tokens you control, allowing you to field multiple versions of The Master simultaneously without sacrificing the originals. This mechanical nuance is crucial for players looking to maximize board presence. Furthermore, the card provides protective support for your token army. Triggered abilities you control cannot cause you to sacrifice or exile the creature tokens you control, ensuring that your duplicated forces remain on the battlefield to attack or block. This combination of aggressive token generation and defensive protection makes The Master, Multiplied a formidable choice for any Magic: The Gathering trading card game card collection focused on the Doctor Who theme. Collectors appreciate the foil finish for its visual appeal, while players value the unique interaction with the legend rule that defines this release.
