The Sound of Drums

Description

The Sound of Drums (card number 391) is a rare red Enchantment — Aura from the 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who set. Designed by Alexandr Leskinen, this card brings a dynamic strategic element to gameplay by modifying how enchanted creatures interact with opponents. With a mana cost of {2}{R}, it offers significant impact for three mana, fitting well into red-based aggressive or midrange strategies. As an Aura, The Sound of Drums must be attached to a creature to function. Once enchanted, it applies the goad mechanic to that creature, forcing it to attack a player or player-controlled permanent of your choice if able. This control over combat flow is complemented by a potent offensive boost: if the enchanted creature deals combat damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage instead. This effect can turn moderate hits into game-ending blows, making it a favorite for collectors who appreciate high-impact card effects. Beyond its immediate board presence, the card includes a recursion ability. By paying {2}{R}, you can return The Sound of Drums from your graveyard to your hand, allowing for reuse across multiple turns if the creature is removed or if you need to re-enchant a new target. This resilience adds depth to its utility, ensuring it remains a relevant tool in your deck. For fans of the Doctor Who universe and Magic: The Gathering, this card represents a unique intersection of sci-fi lore and tactical gameplay. Collectors often seek out such pieces to complete their Doctor Who collection or to add flavorful, powerful cards to their libraries., enthusiasts can explore this release and other rare finds from the Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who expansion.
