The Universes Beyond sets give 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering a unique opportunity to peek in at other intellectual properties and adapt them to the rules of MTG. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Doctor Who is the latest property to 𝓀don the fabled mana symbols, taking the form of four Commander preconstructed decks, and some aജccompanying supplementary products.

With 60 years of content to pull from, Doctor Who gives Magic plenty of wiggle room for adaptation, including new settings, species of creatures, long-time faves and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:villainous foes, and all the various knick-knacks and tools used by the characters in the series. That last part makes for some interesting artifacts and colorless designs, of which there are plenty across the almost 200 new cards 𓄧in the line-up.

10 🔴 The Moment

The Moment is scraping the bottom of the barrel for colorless Doctor Who cards, but there are only so many across the set. Surely this half-p🌳rotection, half-boardwipe spell plays well in a precon setting, but it feels too fiddly for the average casual Commander game.

There's probably something to it in decks that care about time counters or 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:phasing out permanents, but those aren't very well-represented strategies. Oblivion Stone already sees very little play, and despite being cheaper on most fronts, The Moment's slow and telegraphed enough for opponents to work around it.

9 River Song's Diary

Didn't anyone teach you not to read someone else's diary? Here you have an artifact that sits around gathering up spells until it starts casting them for free, though not without variance. Your opponents can contribute meaningless or undesirable spells to the pile, and the spells you cast are random.

There's also a cat-and-mouse game where you need to keep finding new spells to consistently keep four cards under the Diary. Still, all the variance doesn't detract from this being a fun card with explosive potential depending on which spells River Song decides to write about.

8 ꧑ Cybermen S🌊quadron

Cybermen Squadron takes the effect of Legion Loyalty and applies it to artifact creatures, making it a narrow but effective finisher for artifact-heavy decks. The effect applies to itself at the very least, and you can even circumvent the restriction with cutesy tricks like Mycosynthᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤🦹⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ Lattice and Liquimetal Torque.

The Squadron heavily promotes a gameplan that kills all opponents at once, since 🐭168澳洲幸运5开奖网:myriad stops work🔯ing in one-on-one situations. Until then, you can use it as a sort of Overrun, or go for a value plan and just generate some 🎃extra ETB effects and sacrifice fodder.

7 Laser Screwdriver ♛

Laser Screwdriver is one of two mirrored cards with opposite effects. True to the tool of The Master, it's the more oppressive of the two, featuring disruptive abilities and the more nefarious surveil ability over scry.

This is a lot of utility on what's essentially a three-cost 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:mana rock, which many players already have reservations about. If you can put a few of the abilities to good use in your deck, it might be worth considering over a comparable 3-mana rock like Commander's Sphere, and the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:goading can be a gameplan of its own on the right boards.

6 🦄 Sonic Screwdriver𝔍

Sonic Screwdriver is more proactive and easier♔ to plan around than its lasery counterpart. Untapping an artifact is usually more desirable than tapping oꦉne down, and scry is at least comparable to surveil, though usually worse.

Where Sonic Screwdriver deviates the most is on the final ability, which pushes your own creatures through combat rather than relying on your opponents' creatures to get the job done. Making a creature unblockable won't keep a threat from attacking you the way goading can, but it leads to more political situations, and closes out games when you're the one with the threat.

5 ♉ Ominous Cemetery 🎃

It's nice to add a little bit of extra power to your manabase, using utility lands to double up as spells in the lategame. Ominous Cemetery is a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:colorless land that functions as removal once you're set on mana.

It's reminiscent of Underdark Rift, which could 'tuck' a creature based on the result of a d10 die roll, though it ran the risk of rolling a one and letting the opponent redraw their threat the following turn. Ominous Cemetery makes the target a non-factor and has a much larger chance of not just turning up again next turn, and you can even activate it at instant speed.

4 Psychic Paper 🥂

Spy Kit is an obscure piece of equipment from Conspiracy: Take the Crown that doesn't have much practical use in Commander. Psychic Paper lets you do all the same name-switching shenanigans, but offers tangible benefits on top of that, including making the equipped creature unblockable, giving it Ward 1, and changing its creature type.

Identity swapping a creature's name isn't usually relevant, but it gets you thinking about the in-game applications. Cards that come to mind, even in a singleton format, include Brothers Yamazaki, Biovisionary, and Faerie Miscreant. Make of that what you will.

3 ♋ Clara Oswald

Clara Oswald's like The Prismatic Piper of time travellers, shifting colors and doubling up on their Doctor partner's triggered abilities. Every one of the Doctors has a triggered ability, meaning there's plenty of room for customization with Clara.

Six mana for a 2/6 isn't exactly impressive, and Clara's a bit lost without the aid of a Doctor on board, but it's an excellent addition to the inevitable 'Oops All Doctors' decks players will make. Clara also works with Changelings, though only a few of those have triggered abilities worth copying.

2 TARDIS

The TARDIS is the most recognizable thing in Doctor Who, even to the non-Whovians amongst you. It has enough hyper-specific text on it that many decks will shy away from it, and it doesn't translate well outside the intended Doctor Who precons.

However, if you do happen to have Time Lords in your command zone or library, the card becomes one of your best tools, giving you a free cascade on pretty much every attack step. There's planeswalk text here for the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Planechase enthusiasts, though that'll be functional flavor text during most games.

1 Confeꩲssion Dial

Confession Dial does its best legendary-specific Underworld Breach impression, not that Magic needs more cards like that. It's ultimately much more fair though, since it's tied to a tap ability and only targets legendary creatures, unlike Breach, which let the reigns loose with virtually no restrictions at all.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Legends-matter is a fully 💫fleshed out archetype across almost every color pair, so Confession Dial will find a home, whether that's in Captain Sisay; Kethis, the Hidden Hand; Shanid, Sleepers' Scourge, or myriad other decks that want to be able to recast legends from their graveyard.
