Scheduled to officially launch on Oct. 13, the MTG Doctor Who set contains four preconstructed Commander decks and collector booster packs. There are a total of 50 new Magic cards in each Precon, along with reprints, similar to the Warhammer 40,000 Commander preconstructed decks.

Players can have two commanders on the battlefield at the same time through a new MTG mechanic called Doctor’s Companion, and each Doctor Who Commander Precon will contain Planechase cards that explore the various worlds from the infamous television series. And some companions in the Doctor Who set have Partner, for players who don’t want to run a Doctor as a commander.

What are the Doctor Who Commander decks?

Three of the four Doctor Who Precon Commander decks feature the Doctors from the series, while the fourth is packed with villains. Every Doctor in the preconstructed decks has two Magic colors, while companions have one color. Both can be commanders on the battlefield at the same time. 

Each of the four Doctor Who Commander preconstructed decks features a “whacky theme,” according to game designer Gavin Verhey. A new fourteenth and fifteenth Doctors are slated to take over the television series this year, with WotC featuring those Doctors at a later date. Here are the four Doctor Who Commander preconstructed decks and card lists, per WotC.
