The Booster Fun of Magic: The Gathering® – Doctor Who™

We wanted to capture the otherworldly beauty seen in the Doctor Who™ series through Magic: The Gathering® – Doctor Who™. Throughout their many journeys, the Doctor has visited several planets, timelines, and even met themself. With Doctor Who™, there’s no telling where you’ll end up next. That’s why when you shuffle up one of the four Magic: The Gathering® – Doctor Who™ Commander decks, it’ll feel just like you’re taking off in the TARDIS with the Doctor.

Traditional Foils and Surge Foils

If you’re a fan of foils, you’ve come to the right place in time and space! Each Magic: The Gathering® – Doctor Who™ Commander deck contains two traditional foil cards: the face commander and the featured commander. Those hoping to join the Doctor can find the Doctors and their companions leading three of the four decks. For fans of villainy in all its forms, you’ll find Davros, Dalek Creator and Missy in the Masters of Evil deck.

You’ll also be able to find every card in the Commander decks, apart from the plane cards, in traditional foil in Magic: The Gathering® – Doctor Who™ Collector Boosters. Every Eternal-legal card, like reprints, new-to-Magic cards, and tokens, will be available in Collector Boosters!

In addition, we’ve brought back a fan-favorite foil treatment: surge foils! These give an electrifying shine to your cards that’s sure to catch the eye of your fellow Commander players.

In addition to traditional foil versions, surge foil versions of Commander cards (except plane cards) from this set can be found in Magic: The Gathering® – Doctor Who™ Collector Boosters, too!

TARDIS Showcase Treatments

The TARDIS is travelling somewhere new: into the Magic card frame! In this set, 30 cards—3 uncommons, 23 rares, and 5 mythic rares—have variant TARDIS showcase treatments. They depict the characters of Doctor Who™ with special stylized artwork inside of a beautiful blue TARDIS frame. The Doctor, their companions, and even their enemies can be found in the TARDIS showcase frame.

Cards with the TARDIS showcase treatment are only available in Collector Boosters. While the traditional versions of these cards more closely resemble their live-action counterparts, the TARDIS showcase variants add a stylistic flourish that Whovians are sure to love. You can find these treatments in Magic: The Gathering® – Doctor Who™ Collector Boosters.

Extended-Art Cards

While Magic cards aren’t bigger on the inside (yet!), you’ll be able to find extended-art variants of these cards where more of the Doctor Who™ artwork is on display. Rare and mythic rare reprints and new-to-Magic cards will receive the extended-art treatment. Please note: Sagas do not have extended-art frames and won’t receive the extended-art treatment.

Extended-art cards can also be found in traditional foil and surge foil. All extended-art reprints and new-to-Magic cards can be found in Magic: The Gathering® – Doctor Who™ Collector Boosters in non-foil, traditional foil, and surge foil.

Serialized Doctor Cards

You may cross timelines with serialized variants of the Doctor. Each main incarnation of the Doctor, from the First Doctor to the Thirteenth Doctor, will receive a serialized variant with the TARDIS showcase treatment. Printed in beautiful double rainbow foil and marked with their own serial number, each card will receive only about 500 printings and can only be found in Collector Boosters.

Serialized Doctors Explainer

Serialized Doctor cards are localized in English only and are available in Magic: The Gathering® – Doctor Who™ Collector Boosters of any language. Non-serialized Doctor cards are mechanically identical to serialized variants. See product packaging for details. Images are digital renderings, not actual cards.

Magic the Gathering Universes Beyond Introduces The Lord of the Rings Tales of Middle-Earth

Release Date: Friday June 16, 2023 for Prerelease Stores!

Each Collector, Draft, Set and Jumpstart booster box purchased will receive the Trailblazer’s

Boots/Lorien Brooch Buy-A-Box Promo while supplies last.

One Ring to Rule Them All

Found exclusively in Collector Boosters, players may find Sol Rings with art modeled after Elven, Dwarven, and Human rings from the novels, and text written in Tengwar script.

Elven, Human, and Dwarven Sol Ring variants

These Ring cards can be found in both traditional foil and nonfoil. The traditional foil versions of these specialized Sol Rings will be serialized—there are 300 Elven Sol Rings, 700 Dwarven Sol Rings, and 900 Human Sol Rings, as those most familiar with the story may have guessed. The nonfoil versions will not be serialized, and there will be 3,000 Elven Sol Rings, 7,000 Dwarven Sol Rings, 9,000 Human Sol Rings.

But that’s not all… In one English-language Collector Booster, a player in your community may find an extraordinarily rare card.

Serialized 001/001 The One Ring/Sol Ring

This serialized version of The One Ring, which is a variant of The One Ring Mythic Rare card from the main set, features a raised gold foil treatment applied to the frame, art, and text written in Black Speech. The serialization denotes that this card is 001/001—the only one of its kind available in the world, a true one of one. The One Ring (Serialized 001 of 001) can only be found only in a single English-language Collector Booster (see product description for more details).

Bundle Promos—Mount Doom Scene Cards

In The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth™ Bundle and Bundle: Gift Edition, players will open a special collection of traditional foil promos—Borderless Scene Cards that highlight iconic moments from The Lord of the Rings. In this case, the promos depict the scene on Mount Doom when laid out two-by-two:

Mount Doom Scene Cards

The four Mount Doom scene cards are found in Collector Boosters along with the Bundle and Bundle: Gift Edition.

Box Toppers—The Lord of the Rings Realms and Relics

Fans of The Lord of the Rings will be delighted by the box toppers coming with the set—thirty iconic realms and relics have been chosen to receive an alt-art Borderless treatment, wherein each card is designed after an iconic place or item from the novels, though their abilities match that of an existing Magic card.

Each Draft, Set, and Collector Booster Display contains one traditional foil Box Topper. Nonfoil and Surge Foil versions of the Box Toppers can be found in Collector Booster packs.

The Buy-a-Box promo, Trailblazer’s Boots/Lórien Brooch, is also a Realms and Relics card.

Adventure with Full Art Middle-earth Map Lands

Feel fully immersed in the land of Middle-earth with the ten Full-Art Middle-earth Map Lands—two of each of the five basic land types. There will be one traditional foil land in every Collector Booster; non-foil Full Art Middle-earth Map Lands can be found in Draft and Set Boosters, as well.
