The Doctor Who Commander Decks are meant to be on-ramps to Commander, with new cards and reprints.[2]

Description

These immersive Commander decks feature Doctors, companions, villains and locations from the series.[3] These decks are so full of references, you'd think they are bigger on the inside. Every Doctor is two-color, while every companion is mono-color.[4]

Each deck features 50 new cards, with TARDIS, Sonic Screwdriver, Ominous Cemetery, Gallifrey Council Chamber, Trenzalore Clocktower, Twice Upon a Time and Psychic Paper appearing in multiple decks.

Similar to the recent March of the Machine Commander decks, these decks each feature 10 Planechase cards. These feature non-canon planes.[5]
