Description
The 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who expansion brings the beloved sci-fi franchise into the trading card game with a unique crossover set. Among the standout cards is The War Doctor (1043), a Rare foil Legendary Creature — Time Lord Doctor that appeals to both TCG enthusiasts and fans of the series. Illustrated by Lixin Yin, this card features a distinct foil finish that enhances its visual appeal for collectors. Mechanically, The War Doctor offers strategic depth by accumulating time counters whenever other permanents phase out or cards are exiled. When attacking, it deals damage equal to the number of counters it holds, with a unique exile effect that removes creatures permanently rather than destroying them. This interaction makes the card a compelling addition to decks focused on exile strategies or time-based mechanics. As a key piece in the Doctor Who set, it represents the intersection of two major pop culture universes, offering a distinctive collectible item for those looking to complete their Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who collection or expand their library of crossover trading cards.

Card Text
Abilities, attacks, oracle text, and flavor text printed on the card.
Whenever one or more other permanents phase out and whenever one or more other cards are put into exile from anywhere, put a time counter on The War Doctor. Whenever The War Doctor attacks, it deals damage equal to the number of time counters on it to any target. If a creature dealt damage this way would die this turn, exile it instead.
