Lore

Why it matters

This card from the Doctor Who collection is a rare find that allows a player to disrupt the board by shuffling an opponent's permanent into their library. Its ability to exchange a troublesome threat for a random unknown factor makes it a highly versatile tool for managing the unpredictable flow of a game.

Card face

What it does

The owner of target permanent shuffles it into their library, then reveals the top card of their library. If it's a permanent card, they put it onto the battlefield.

Provenance

Where it came from

Chaos Warp was introduced to the Magic: The Gathering card pool in the 2011 Commander product, designed to provide red decks with a versatile, albeit chaotic, form of removal. The card reflects the color's philosophy of instability by allowing a player to remove any permanent from the battlefield in exchange for the target's controller revealing the top card of their library and potentially putting a new permanent into play.

The 2023 Doctor Who set brought a new visual interpretation to this staple, featuring artwork by Anna Steinbauer. This iteration aligns with the thematic flavor of the Doctor Who universe, illustrating the unpredictable and often reality-bending nature of the TARDIS and its chaotic influence on the space-time continuum.
