The Most Expensive Cards From The Doctor Who MTG Set

The fusion of Magic: The Gathering and the iconic Doctor Who universe birthed some great mechanics and fun crossover cards. Among these cards, a select few are proving to be very valuable as well. And that's what I want to look at today - The most expensive Doctor Who cards. I'll cover the top 10 most valuable cards from the set, starting with number 10. So, let's get to it!

The Most Expensive MTG Cards From Doctor Who

Remember that the set dropped yesterday, so the prices will likely change over the next few weeks. I'll use the lowest price you buy each card for versus the market price, so you'll have a clear idea of the actual value. This can make a huge difference as some cards have a market price of double their actual buying price.

10. The Tenth Doctor (Surge Foil) - $15.93

The Tenth Doctor is one of the most popular from the show's long history, and this card is one of the most exciting cards from a gameplay perspective. So, I'm not surprised this is going for a decent price. And spoiler alert - This isn't the last time you'll see David Tennant before the list ends... But how fitting that the tenth doctor lands at number 10?

9. The Master, Multiplied (Extended Art / Surge Foil) - $20

Next up, we have The Master. One of the series' most cunning villains got one hell of a card. It makes a bunch of token copies of itself when it attacks, and usually, you'd have to exile them at the end of combat. However, the time lord can circumvent that and, of course, negate the legend rule as well, meaning you'll keep all the tokens you make.

8. Weeping Angel (Showcase / Surge Foil) - $20

I love this card. WOTC did a fantastic job with the flavor here. The Weeping Angels look like regular statues when you look at them; only when you look away do they show their actual forms, which is delivered with their ability to cease to be a creature. They can also send people hurling through time, which is put into the game via tucking creatures it would damage away into the library. 10/10 in terms of mechanics and lore, and given the popularity of the Weeping Angels, I'm not surprised to see this around $20 in the showcase treatment.

7. Cyber Conversion (Extended Art / Surge Foil) -  $32

Ah, the cybermen. They forcibly convert other species into emotionless cybermen, and that's pretty much what Cyber Conversion does. It's a $32 (it'll likely go down some) card because it's a phenomenal removal spell. It's cheap to cast, instant speed, and can turn an opposing commander into a 2/2 without giving its controller a chance to put it back into the command zone. Pretty nasty stuff here.

6. The Master, Multiplied (Showcase / Surge Foil) - $35.33

We have our first card to show up twice with The Master, Multiplied, which also came in at number nine. The first version was the extended art, and this is the showcase version, which will add about $15 to the price tag. To summarize, The Master is the doctor's childhood friend, now his nemesis. The Myriad ability makes token copies of it, and the rest of the text lets you keep them instead of losing them like usual.

5. Wedding Ring (Extended Art / Surge Foil) - $37.53

I'm not familiar enough with Doctor Who to know the significance of this card from a lore point of view. If you are, comment below and fill me in. So, moving on to gameplay, this card is a beast. When you cast it from your hand, you'll choose an opponent to make a copy of it. Then, whenever that player draws a card, you draw a card. And whenever they gain life, you gain that much life, too. This will probably drop a fair amount in the coming weeks, but I imagine EDH will keep the price respectable.

4. Displaced Dinosaurs (Surge Foil) - $40

“Good grief! It’s a stegosaurus. What a splendid specimen.” The flavor text and card name sum this card up perfectly. It turns things that aren't supposed to be a dinosaur into a dinosaur. What a fun card! That Sol Ring looks slightly better in the late game now. In the right build, I think this card could do some serious work! That said, even though this is the foil version, I can't imagine this will hold a price anywhere near $40 for long, considering it's just an uncommon.

3. Everybody Lives! (Extended Art / Surge Foil) - $45

White gets a phenomenal protection spell here. It gives all creatures hexproof and indestructible for a turn, gives all players hexproof, and makes it so that no one can lose life, win, or lose the game that turn. The name is spot on here; everybody (and everything) lives.

A ton of decks will play this in Commander, and it's a fairly unique card. Each effect exists on other cards in various forms, but having them together in a nice, neat, two-mana package is excellent. This particular version looks sick, too.

2. The Tenth Doctor (Showcase / Surge Foil) - $52

I told you you'd see David Tennant again before the list was done, and here he is. The Tenth Doctor still lets you exile cards from the top of your library whenever you attack until you hit a nonland card and suspend it. Then, for seven generic mana, you can "Timey-Wimey" it right into play by time traveling three times. However, this is the showcase surge foil version, which is over three times as costly.

1. The Tenth Doctor (Serialized) - $1500

Surprise! David Tennant's time traveled from the number two spot on the list to the number one spot. But this is his serialized version, limited to only 510 copies. There are only two copies of this on TCGplayer (none are apparent as to which number they're selling), which are $650 and $1500. There were three copies when I started this article, but the $750 copy sold as I wrote.

Update: 10/15/23 10:41 AM The $650 copy sold. Leaving only a $1500 copy and another at 10k 

That shows that people are confident that these prices won't be dropping as time goes on, and I think that's the right of it. If anything, I think the more sought-after doctors and the more coveted numbers will likely increase as time passes. As of now, though, the most expensive Doctor Who card is this, at $1500. However, if that sells, the remaining available one will be nearly double that.

Conclusion

It's to be expected that the serialized card(s) are the most expensive cards in the set. I'm curious to see just how high some of these go and which ones collectors look for the most. Aside from the numbered cards, some genuinely powerful, playable cards have nice value in their fancier treatments.

Now, how high do you think the serialized doctor cards will go?
