Alien Salamander

Description

The Alien Salamander token is a specific entry within the 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who Tokens set, cataloged as card number 48. This foil common creature card was designed by Miklós Ligeti and serves as a functional piece for players building decks that interact with the Doctor Who crossover mechanics. As a Token Creature with a mana value of zero, it enters the battlefield with 2/2 power and toughness, making it a lightweight but immediate presence on the board. The card’s primary mechanical identity is Islandwalk, a keyword ability that allows it to bypass the protection typically granted to opponents who control Islands. This trait makes the Alien Salamander a unique strategic tool in formats where land interaction is key. Collectors of the Doctor Who Tokens set often seek out this card to complete their token collection, appreciating the foil treatment that distinguishes it from non-foil versions. The Doctor Who Tokens set was released to celebrate the intersection of two beloved franchises, and the Alien Salamander stands out as a distinct, playable piece of that collaboration. Whether you are a competitive player looking for specific tokens or a casual collector interested in the Doctor Who lore, this card represents a tangible connection to the game's expanding universe. The foil finish adds a layer of visual appeal, catching the light and enhancing the card's presence in a binder or deck box. For those interested in the broader Magic: The Gathering ecosystem, tokens like the Alien Salamander provide endless possibilities for deck construction and strategic depth. The card’s design and mechanics are faithful to the source material, offering fans of both the TCG and the television series a unique collectible item.
