Wilfred Mott

Description

Wilfred Mott is a Rare Legendary Human Soldier from the 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who expansion, designated as card number 350 in the WHO set. This crossover release brings a beloved character from the long-running British science fiction series into the strategic landscape of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by artist John Di Giovanni, the card captures the essence of the character through its distinct type line and gameplay abilities. As a one-white mana color identity card with a mana value of four, Wilfred Mott offers a balanced presence in decks that utilize white mana. The card’s primary mechanic revolves around time, reflecting the sci-fi themes inherent to the Doctor Who universe. At the beginning of your upkeep, you place a time counter on Wilfred Mott. This accumulation of counters triggers a powerful effect: you look at the top X cards of your library, where X is the number of time counters on the creature. From these revealed cards, you may put a nonland permanent card with a mana value of three or less onto the battlefield. The remaining cards are then shuffled back into the bottom of your library in a random order. This ability provides consistent value over time, allowing players to search for specific low-cost permanents as the turn progresses. It synergizes well with strategies that benefit from card advantage and resource acceleration. Collectors of both Magic: The Gathering and Doctor Who appreciate this card for its unique intersection of fandom and gameplay. The card serves as a notable piece for those building themed collections or exploring the diverse mechanics introduced in the Doctor Who set. Whether for competitive play or casual enjoyment, Wilfred Mott stands out as a creative addition to the game's extensive library of legendary creatures.
