Four Magic: The Gathering Commander Precon decks for the Universes Beyond Doctor Who set dropped in early October, containing over 180 new cards, with many showing signs of value on the secondary market.
The Doctor Who set taps into a new Magic mechanic called Time Travel, is legal to play in Eternal formats, and shows off the beloved Doctors and companions. The set includes four Commander Precon decks that feature 13 of the Doctors and villains, along with collector booster packs for chase cards. Over 180 new MTG cards were included in the Commander set. Popular reprints were also included, from As Foretold to Ponder.
The ultimate MTG Doctor Who chase cards are the double rainbow foil serialized Doctors with the TARDIS showcase treatment, found only in collector booster packs. Surge foil treatments also return, along with extended art, a TARDIS showcase, and traditional foil treatments.
Here are the MTG Doctor Who cards worth money. All card prices are subject to change. These prices were determined based on data from sites like MTGGoldfish, MTGStocks, and TCGPlayer.
MTG Doctor Who serialized card prices
The Doctor Who Universes Beyond set has a serialized variant, with around 500 printings of each Doctor, one to 13. A rainbow foil treatment was also applied to the serialized Doctor Who cards. Some of the first pulled serialized Doctors, like The Tenth Doctor, were listed up to $5,000 initially. The market price, however, has the Doctor Who card valued at around $635. This price difference will likely last for a few weeks, or until more of the serialized versions are found.
- The Tenth Doctor: Around $635
- The Third Doctor: Around $280
Additional listings will be added upon the cards getting found and put on sale.
Top-priced MTG Doctor Who non-serialized cards
At the time of writing on Oct. 18, the overall worth of the Doctor Who Commander set for normal cards is around $375, according to MTGGoldfish. Only two normal cards remain valued above $10: Everybody Lives! and Displaced Dinosaurs. It’s unknown how overall sales are doing on sealed products, but there were allocation shortages reported prior to the official release on Oct. 13. Other variants like surge foil cards are holding at around $35 to $60 on the high-end.
Everybody Lives!
Everybody Lives! prevents any harm to all creatures and players until the end of that turn. The two-drop Instant in the MTG color White is one of the more popular cards from the Doctor Who set and will likely maintain its value after launch.

- Surge foil: Around $40
- Extended foil: Around $32
- Extended non-foil: Around $25
- Foil: Around $20
- Normal: Around $24
River Song
Players can now draw cards from the bottom of their library through River Song in Eternal MTG formats. The human time lord can also scale in power when an opponent Scries, searches their library, or Surveils. River Song was also one of the few MTG Doctor Who cards that increased in price leading up to the Commander set’s launch.
- Showcase surge foil: Around $30
- Extended surge foil: Around $10
- Normal: Around $4
Displaced Dinosaurs
Displaced Dinosaurs is an Uncommon card in MTG Doctor Who that rose quickly in value after the set’s launch. The Mono-Green dinosaur is a 7/7 seven-drop that can transform a Historic permanent into a 7/7 dinosaur creature in addition to its other Types upon entering the battlefield.

TARDIS
Synergizing with Cascade and Planeswalk is the TARDIS, a two-drop Artifact vehicle that crews for two. The Artifact is strong for an Uncommon, especially within the Commander format, and will likely see play on top of being a collectible that fans want to get their hands on.
