The Third Doctor

Description

The Third Doctor arrives in the Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who set released in 2023, bringing a unique Time Lord presence to the battlefield. As a Legendary Creature with the types Time, Lord, and Doctor, this card carries significant thematic weight for fans of the franchise and collectors of crossover merchandise. The foil treatment adds a premium visual finish, making it a desirable addition to any themed collection or deck-building project. Designed by artist Roberta Ingranata, the card features a mana cost of {2}{G}{U} and a mana value of 4. It enters the battlefield as a 2/2 creature with the Trample ability, allowing excess combat damage to push through to the player. The card’s strategic value shines through its static ability: it receives +1/+1 counters for each noncreature token you control. This synergy encourages players to build around token generation, turning a modest base power into a formidable threat. Upon entering the battlefield, The Third Doctor triggers an effect that allows its controller to create a choice of token: a Clue, a Food, or a Treasure. These tokens provide flexible resources, from card draw and life gain to mana acceleration. This versatility makes the card adaptable to various strategies, appealing to both casual and competitive players. The card is printed with the set code WHO and carries a rare rarity status. Collectors often seek out this card for its distinctive crossover appeal and functional gameplay. The combination of iconic character representation and mechanical depth ensures it remains a standout piece in the Doctor Who expansion. Whether you are building a thematic deck or adding to your foil collection, The Third Doctor offers both narrative charm and tactical utility.
