For decades, Doctor Who™ has taken us on adventures through time and space. Now, in the year of the series’ 60th anniversary, Doctor Who™ comes to Magic. They’re bringing the Doctor, their companions, their foes, and more to you in the form of four Commander decks:
Blast from the Past
In 1963, the Doctor first appeared to audiences around the world. This deck honors those early years of Doctor Who™, spanning the show’s run from 1963 to 1989. Blast from the Past, a green-white-blue deck, is led by the Fourth Doctor. But he’s not alone. The Doctor travels with their companions, brought to Magic with the Doctor’s companion mechanic.
Timey-Wimey
Timey-Wimey is a deck all about the big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff that is time. This deck is run by the Tenth Doctor and his companion Rose Tyler. The two give this blue-red-white deck a theme of time manipulation, namely through the mechanic of time travel.
Time travel is a brand-new mechanic that focuses on the manipulation of time counters, something we first saw in 1994. With Doctor Who™, we’re giving it a new twist. Time travel lets you add and remove time counters, letting you play with suspend, vanishing, and other fun mechanics from across Magic. This deck places the Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Doctor’s journeys in the spotlight, featuring characters, alien worlds, and exhilarating stories from across the Doctor’s many adventures.
Paradox Power
In Paradox Power, the wild nature of time is on full display as spells fly from all directions! In this green-blue-red deck, you can expect the unexpected when the Thirteenth Doctor and Yasmin Khan arrive. With the Twelfth Doctor and the Thirteenth Doctor being at the deck’s core, the paradox mechanic is working overdrive to create the exciting plays Commander is known for!
Masters of Evil
Wherever the Doctor does good, there is sure to be a villain doing evil. This blue-black-red deck is all about the terrifying foes the Doctor has combated over their many journeys through time. While several characters from across Doctor Who™ make an appearance, the deck focuses on the Daleks, the Cybermen, and the many incarnations of the Master. This is embodied with the villainous choice mechanic, seen here on Davros, Dalek Creator.
These decks are a labor of love, invoking the history of Doctor Who™ through the lens of Magic. Designers, writers, and artists worked to capture the world of Doctor Who™ in a way that made it exciting for fans of Doctor Who™ and Magic.
The Doctor has travelled across the universe on their many adventures, and so will you with the plane cards included in each Commander deck! These cards represent the iconic locales of Doctor Who™, with each deck containing ten new-to-Magic plane cards so that you can travel throughout time and space as chaos ensues.
Speaking of chaos, the Planechase format comes to Doctor Who™, amplified by the TARDIS. Appearing in each deck helmed by the Doctor, the TARDIS allows you to travel throughout the universe in search of your next adventure.
Each Commander deck will feature new cards that will be legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. These cards are designed for Commander, accentuating the fun and social aspect of the format that players love.
