Some of these products had already been announced and teased, such as Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earthlink outside website, Commander Masterslink outside website and Wilds of Eldraine, and some were newly announced, such as the next Secret Lair Commander deck, but the one product which was almost completely explored in this past MagicCon was the long-awaited for Doctor Who Universes Beyond cards!

This set is inspired by the iconic BBC TV show, Doctor Who, which will be celebrating 60 years since it was first debuted in 1963 this year. Wizards of the Coast announced this product as part of the show's celebrations back in August 2022, so, it was only a matter of time until more details arrived regarding the set's included cards.

According to the panel held at MagicCon Minneapolis, there will be four new Commander decks in this Universes Beyond set, each with 50 new cards. Out of those 50 cards, 19 will be showcasing some beloved stories taken directly from the original TV show in the form of Sagas, and the newly revived Planechase cards will mark their presence in them as well with 10 new cards.

Different variants of the cards in the Commander Decks will be available in Collector Boosters.

There will also be a new mechanic for Commander: the Doctor's Companion mechanic. This mechanic will make it possible for Doctors to be paired with their Companions in the Command Zone, as an extra feature to better capture the feel of the Doctor Who TV show.

Let's take a look at everything revealed!
