The Third Doctor: A Powerful Commander for Go-Wide Strategies
The upcoming Blast from the Past Magic: The Gathering Commander preconstructed deck features exciting Doctor Who spoilers, including The Third Doctor, his companion Jo Grant, and a spell named after his catchphrase. This precon, set to release on Oct. 13, showcases the first eight Doctors and their companions, allowing players to run two commanders in the command zone through the Doctor’s Companion mechanic. Among the aggressive Doctors in the set, The Third Doctor stands out as a formidable commander for go-wide strategies.
The Third Doctor, a legendary creature with trample, embodies the Third Doctor’s preference for a more aggressive approach to conflicts. With a mana cost of 2GU and starting stats of 2/2, The Third Doctor’s power and toughness can scale up significantly. Its unique ability grants +1/+1 for each noncreature token under your control, making it a force to be reckoned with in token-based strategies. Additionally, when The Third Doctor enters the battlefield, you have the choice to create a Clue, Food, or Treasure token, providing additional value upon its arrival.
Reverse the Polarity: A Nod to the Third Doctor’s Catchphrase
The Blast from the Past Doctor Who Commander Precon also introduces the Reverse the Polarity instant spell, paying homage to the Third Doctor’s famous catchphrase. This rare spell, with a mana cost of 1UU, offers versatile options to players. You can choose to counter all other spells, switch each creature’s power and toughness until the end of the turn, or make creatures unblockable for the turn. This spell captures the essence of the Third Doctor’s resourcefulness and adaptability.
Jo Grant: Enhancing Card Advantage with Cycling
Another exciting addition to the Doctor Who Commander Precon is Jo Grant, the companion of the Third Doctor. This legendary creature, a Human Soldier with a mana cost of 2W, brings a unique mechanic to the table.
