Each Doctor Who Commander deck has 50 original cards, all designed to keep characters and events from the show in mind with their mechanics. There are also more keywords and abilities than generally found in a regular release, with cards having everything from soulbound to cascade, suspend, myriad, and even retrace.

Gathering the most villianous forces in the universe in once place, the Masters of Evil deck takes the combined might of the Cybermen, Daleks, evil Time Lords and more and unleashes them on your foes. This deck provides plenty of unique legendary creatures to get your deck brewing skills going.
Uniting the many villains that the Doctor and his companions have amassed over the years, the Masters of Evil deck is a blue, black, and red deck themed around artifacts, myriad, and a new mechanic called villainous choice. The deck is affectionately described as a ‘group slug’ deck, the opposite of a group hug deck where all players are presented with situations where they either have to make a bad decision for themselves, or a good decision for you.
This deck is jam packed with legendary creatures and alternate three colored commanders to build around. The main commander is Davros, Dalek Creator, and can be swapped out between Missy and Ashad, the Lone Cyberman if you want. There are some amazing legendary creatures to pick up with this deck, with lots of support for unique decks to be built.

Joining The Twelfth and Thirteenth Doctors are a number of notable cards and characters like Clara Oswald, an immensely versatile card that can be your partner commander for your Doctor deck, and can be any color you want to add to your deck. River Song is another fantastic addition to the game, letting you draw cards from the bottom of your deck instead of from the top.
