To celebrate the anniversaries of Doctor Who and Magic: The Gathering, the two popular franchises have collaborated to release MTG Doctor Who sets. The product range featuring the Doctor(s) is relatively small, with only four Commander Decks available, but it includes over 200 cards. Each Commander Deck focuses on a different set of Doctors, with the fourth deck featuring the major villains of the Whoniverse. The cards can also be found in the Doctor Who Collector Boosters, which feature special treatments such as foil and alternate art. However, these boosters are expensive. The MTG Doctor Who set primarily focuses on the 100-card Commander format, which may not be the most accessible way for new players to get into MTG. The high price of the Commander Decks and Collector Boosters may dissuade curious Doctor Who fans from participating. Despite this, the set showcases stunning artwork and thematic mechanics that pay homage to Doctor Who lore. It is hoped that the current Doctor Who products will be successful enough to pave the way for a more accessible and cost-effective collaboration in the future. For new players, it is recommended to invest in MTG accessories to protect and store the new cards.
