Provenance

Where it came from

Clockspinning was released as part of the Magic: The Gathering 'Universes Beyond: Doctor Who' Commander set in 2023. The card was designed to mechanically represent the temporal manipulation central to the Doctor’s adventures, specifically referencing the Doctor's ability to manipulate time counters and manipulate the board state to reflect the circular nature of the show's narrative timeline.

The artwork, illustrated by Alayna Danner, captures a stylized, ethereal depiction of Gallifreyan clockwork aesthetics. It was received favorably by players for its thematic resonance with the series, as the card’s ability to add or remove counters from permanents mirrors the Doctor’s recurring habit of 'rewinding' or 'fast-forwarding' local events to resolve complex paradoxes.
