MTG x Doctor Who prices are rising, fast
The average price of Doctor Who chase cards has been – as expected – increasing drastically in price recently. If you’re considering collecting or investing, now’s the time to get stuck in.
13. Three Visits (Surge Foil) – $18.93
Three Visits is one of the best ramp cards you can play. It puts any card with the Forest typing onto the battlefield untapped, letting you get dual lands and triomes that you can use right away. Three Visits also depicts the first multi-Doctor story, so its iconic stature lends itself to its value along with its high usage in games.
12. Rose Tyler (Showcase Surge Foil) – $19.26
Part of the pairing of face commanders for the Timey Wimey precon, the Showcase Surge Foil is the most expensive variant of Rose Tyler. One of the most iconic companions of the modern Doctor Who era, her Magic card’s fanciest version is also one of the most expensive MTG cards in the set.
11. Weeping Angel (Showcase Surge Foil) – $20.07
Weeping Angel as a card isn’t the strongest card in the set (far from it in fact). However, they are one of Doctor Who’s most iconic villains, and as such, its Showcase Surge Foil is worth a fair bit as fans of the series want the highest rarity version of the card driving its value up.
10. Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (Extended Art Surge Foil) – $21.00
Not every card received the showcase treatment, which was more reserved for iconic monsters and characters. As such, the Extended Art Surge Foil is the highest rarity version of Dinosaurs On A Spaceship you can own. It’s a Dinosaur support card that boosts them up and gives abilities, all while creating Dinosaurs at the start of every turn when time counters get removed from it.
9. Sonic Screwdriver (0790) (Surge Foil) – $21.16
There are actually three different artworks for Sonic Screwdriver, but the one with set code 0790 is worth the most. This is because it is the Sonic Screwdriver used during the era of the Ninth and Tenth Doctors, one of the most popular eras of the show. This Sonic Screwdriver is double the price of the Sonic Screwdrivers that use the art of other Doctors’ Sonic Screwdriver.
8. Snuff Out (Surge Foil) – $21.86
Snuff Out is one of the best removal spells as it can be cast for free by paying life and controlling a Swamp. Many decks play it across multiple formats, including Pauper and Legacy since free spells are worth paying life since you can almost always cast them. It’s the card that sees play across the most formats, which is why it holds so much value compared to other cards in the set.
7. Flesh Duplicate (Extended Art Surge Foil) – $23.51
Although Flesh Duplicate has a clock on how long it will be on the battlefield, clone effects are very good as they let you trigger various enter the battlefield triggers multiple times a turn. Since Flesh Duplicate will eventually leave due to vanishing, you can take advantage of effects that care about that happening as well. Clone cards usually cost a lot of mana, but Flesh Duplicate’s two makes it so good and why it’s such a sought-after card.
6. Everybody Lives! (Surge Foil) – $25.45
Everybody Lives! is one of the stars of the Doctor Who set. It makes sure no creatures can be destroyed or removed, or lose life. It locks everyone out from losing or winning the game as well, ensuring that everyone in the game gets to keep playing.
5. River Song (Showcase Surge Foil) – $27.42
River Song is both a very popular character and a very unique creature so many are drawn to it. It punishes players who look into the library, and has you draw cards from the bottom of your deck which has synergies with other cards. In line with the rest of the Showcase Surge Foils, the card art adopts a colorful design echoing the history of animated Doctor Who television.
4. Everybody Lives! (Extended Art Surge Foil) – $30.92
Everybody Lives! is a great card, but also depicts the finale moment of what many consider to be the Ninth Doctor’s best episode. Its widespread usage and depiction of an iconic moment from Doctor Who gives Everybody Lives! a ton of value, especially the rarest version of it. This version of the card is no different to the other variant featured, aside from the fact that the artwork is borderless. This instant pairs well with the best white creatures, making them hexproof and near invincible.
3. Displaced Dinosaurs (Surge Foil) – $32.31
Displaced Dinosaurs is as goofy as it is great. It turns all historic permanents into 7/7 Dinosaurs when they enter the battlefield. In artifact decks, it is very easy to cast multiple artifacts in one turn, letting you amass an army of Dinosaurs.
2. TARDIS (Showcase Surge Foil) – $32.77
The TARDIS is the Doctor’s spacecraft and how they travel to space and time. It is one of the few things to be there since the very start of the show and through every iteration of Doctor. The TARDIS is sometimes more iconic than the Doctor themselves and leads to the Showcase Surge Foil variant being one of the most expensive cards in the set.
1. The Tenth Doctor (Showcase Surge Foil) – $58.10
The title of the most expensive card in the Doctor Who set goes to The Tenth Doctor by a fair bit. They are one of the most popular incarnations of the titular Time Lord, and acts as the face of the Timey Wimey Commander deck. The Tenth Doctor as a card is great and lets you cheat out big spells, and for collectors, has a lot of value due to how popular The Tenth Doctor is as a character makes for the perfect combination to sit comfortably as the most valuable card in the entire set.
That covers all of the most expensive Doctor Who cards in Magic: The Gathering. The rest of the Universes Beyond collaborations are equally priced, though the MTG Fallout has been the most expensive of them all. The prices of a few of the more expensive Doctor Who cards have been rising in price recently too, so if you’re interested in collecting or investing in Wizards of the Coast’s collaboration with one of the most beloved franchises ever, now’s your time.
Most expensive Doctor Who MTG cards – FAQs
Is it worth collecting MTG Doctor Who cards?
The Universes Beyond collaborations have been an incredibly clever move from Wizards of the Coast. By partnering with beloved franchises, the popularity of those sets has skyrocketed, and thus the cost of chase cards have shot up too. It’s definitely worth collecting cards from this collaboration, as you can only expect the value of cards to rise the further we get from their launch.
What is the rarest Doctor Who card in Magic: The Gathering?
It’s not always the most expensive Magic card that’s the rarest, though in this instance it is. The Tenth Doctor is the rarest card from the set, or at least the Showcase Surge Foil is. While you could easily pick up the standard variants via Commander decks, the Showcase edition has been a lot harder to get hold of.
