Osgood, Operation Double

Description

Released in 2023 as part of the Doctor Who Tokens crossover, Osgood, Operation Double (#32) stands out as a unique foil token creature within the Magic: The Gathering ecosystem. This Common rarity card features Justyna Dura as the artist and serves as a distinct addition for collectors who appreciate the intersection of sci-fi lore and tabletop strategy. As a Token Creature — Human Alien Shapeshifter, it carries a mana cost of {2}{U}{U} and boasts a Power/Toughness of 2/2. The card’s mechanics offer specific utility for artifact-focused strategies. Its activated ability allows players to tap the token to add colorless mana, with a restriction that this mana must be spent exclusively on casting artifact spells or activating artifact abilities. This design choice integrates the token seamlessly into decks built around artifact synergies, providing a reliable resource engine while maintaining its thematic identity. Additionally, Osgood, Operation Double features the Paradox mechanic. Whenever a player casts a spell from anywhere other than their hand, they must investigate. This creates interesting decision-making moments during gameplay, rewarding players who utilize unconventional casting methods. The token’s blue color identity aligns it with decks that favor control and card advantage, making it a versatile piece in the Doctor Who Tokens set. Whether used in casual games or added to a collection of rare foil tokens, this card represents a memorable moment in Magic: The Gathering’s history of collaborative expansions.
