The Twelfth Doctor

Description

The 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who set brings the beloved BBC series to the tabletop, highlighted by the foil rare version of card number 1154, The Twelfth Doctor. This legendary Time Lord creature is a cornerstone for collectors seeking to complete the Doctor Who subset, offering both thematic resonance and mechanical depth. As a foil rare, the card features a shimmering finish that distinguishes it within the set, appealing to enthusiasts who value aesthetic presentation alongside gameplay utility. The Twelfth Doctor enters the battlefield as a 4/4 Legendary Creature with a mana cost of three generic, one blue, and one red mana. Its design integrates seamlessly into multi-color decks, requiring careful mana base construction to cast reliably. The card’s rules text introduces a dynamic mechanic centered on spell replication. The first spell you cast from outside your hand each turn gains demonstrate, allowing you to copy it and forcing an opponent to copy it as well. When copying a permanent spell, the copy becomes a token, adding a layer of strategic complexity to board states. Additionally, whenever you copy a spell, The Twelfth Doctor receives a +1/+1 counter, scaling its power and toughness throughout the game. This synergy encourages players to build strategies around non-land spell casting, making the card a potent engine in formats that support it. The card’s identity as a Time Lord Doctor captures the essence of the character’s ability to manipulate time and events, reflected in its ability to duplicate magical effects. Whether you are a dedicated Magic: The Gathering player or a Doctor Who fan, this foil release stands as a notable addition to any collection.
