The upcoming Magic: The Gathering – Universes Beyond Doctor Who Commander set will feature cards based on missing episodes from the television series. Doctor Who is a long-running television series that follows the adventures of a mysterious figure called The Doctor, who travels through space and time. The show has had multiple seasons and actors portraying The Doctor since its inception in 1963. In 2005, the series was revived after a 10-year hiatus and is now approaching its 60th anniversary.
During the late ’60s to late ’70s, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) deleted and reused aired programs to save space and materials. As a result, 97 episodes of Doctor Who are currently considered lost, primarily from series three, four, and five. However, audio recordings of these episodes have survived. Some episodes have been reconstructed using set photographs, while others have been restored through animation synchronized with the audio track.
The new Magic: The Gathering set based on Doctor Who will reference several of these lost episodes through trading cards. This set is part of the Universes Beyond series, which adapts existing intellectual properties into the world of Magic: The Gathering. The set will include cards based on characters, places, creatures, and episodes from the TV show. The publisher, Wizards of the Coast, has not confirmed which specific episodes will be referenced, but the set will feature saga cards based on episodes from the sci-fi series.
The Magic: The Gathering – Universes Beyond: Doctor Who set is scheduled for release on October 13th.
