Where it came from
Alistair, the Brigadier, is a card featured in the Doctor Who expansion for Magic: The Gathering, released by Wizards of the Coast in 2023. The card pays homage to Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, a cornerstone character of the Doctor Who television franchise who debuted in the 1968 serial The Web of Fear. As the long-standing leader of UNIT, he represents the bridge between humanity and the Doctor's extraterrestrial adventures.
The card’s design, illustrated by Mark Behm, captures the Brigadier’s quintessential military demeanor and his pivotal role as a tactician. Mechanically, the card was designed to highlight his ability to lead diverse forces, reflecting his status as a Commander in the game’s mechanics. It was received as a respectful tribute to the character’s legacy, aiming to satisfy both Magic: The Gathering players and longtime followers of the Doctor Who series through its thematic integration of UNIT’s military coordination.
