To celebrate 60 years of Doctor Who, Magic: The Gathering is releasing four ready-to-play Commander decks and a Collector Booster box (and individual packs) for Whovians to enjoy. They’re set to release this year on October 13, so you can pick them up before the show returns for the anniversary specials in November.
Below, you can find links to all of the Commander decks and Booster packs that are up for preorder on Amazon, along with where to pick up a Starter Kit if you’re new to the world of Magic!
Magic: The Gathering Starter Kit
For those who want to learn the basics of Magic, this is another excellent preorder to jump on. This 2023 two-player Starter Kit serves as an easy and fun introduction to the game with everything you need to learn how to play, including two ready-to-play decks and two codes to play online. It’s set to release on September 8, 2023, so you can have it before the new Doctor Who set drops, too.
Doctor Who Magic: The Gathering Collector Boosters
Magic: The Gathering has revealed a Doctor Who Collector Booster box of 12 packs and a single Collector Booster pack of 15 cards for the show’s anniversary. According to their website, the Collector Booster box features “your favorite Doctor Who characters with 12 boosters full of Rares (7-14 in every pack!), TARDIS Showcase frames, and more shiny foils than you can shake a sonic screwdriver at.” You can see links to both below.
Doctor Who Magic: The Gathering Commander Decks
And for those who want to jump right in, Magic: The Gathering has also revealed four ready-to-play Commander decks. These decks are called Masters of Evil, Blast From the Past, Timey-Wimey, and Paradox Power. According to MTG’s website, “each deck will contain 50 new cards and a new set of Planechase cards featuring famous locations from the Doctor Who universe.”
For more from the world of Magic: The Gathering, you can also preorder the brand new The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth Commander decks, set boosters, jumpstart boosters, collector boosters, and more on Amazon. These are set to release on June 23 this year.
