The Master, Multiplied

Description

Released in 2023 by Wizards of the Coast, The Master, Multiplied (card number 429) is a standout Rare card from the Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who set. Designed as a Legendary Creature — Time Lord Rogue, this card costs {4}{B}{R} to cast, requiring six mana with a mana value of 6. It features a distinctive black and red color identity, reflecting the chaotic and sinister nature of the character. This card is particularly interesting for its unique gameplay mechanics. The Master, Multiplied has Myriad, a keyword ability that allows it to attack and create multiple copies of itself. These copies are creature tokens that are also The Master, Multiplied. Crucially, the legend rule does not apply to these tokens you control, allowing you to field multiple instances of the same legendary creature on the battlefield simultaneously. This is a rare and powerful effect in Magic: The Gathering, as the legend rule typically forces you to choose only one legendary permanent per player. Furthermore, the card includes a protective clause: triggered abilities you control cannot cause you to sacrifice or exile the creature tokens you control. This ensures your army of Masters remains intact against common removal spells that target legendary creatures. With a power and toughness of 4/3, each token is a formidable threat that can overwhelm opponents. Collectors of both Magic: The Gathering and Doctor Who appreciate this card for its clever design and thematic fit. The flavor text, "Breaking news! I'm everyone. And everyone in the world is me!", perfectly encapsulates the character's megalomania. For collectors, The Master, Multiplied represents a unique intersection of two beloved franchises, offering both mechanical depth and narrative charm.
