Provenance

Where it came from

The Confession Dial card appears in the Doctor Who Universes Beyond set, representing the Gallifreyan storage device first introduced in the 2015 episode 'Heaven Sent.' Within the narrative of the show, the dial serves as a personal testament and a torturous prison for the Doctor, reflecting the themes of endurance and memory central to the character's long history.

The card's design aims to evoke the intricate, clockwork aesthetic of the original prop seen on screen, utilizing high-detail digital illustration to capture the weathered metal texture of the device. Released as part of a series celebrating the Doctor Who franchise, the card has been received by players as a thematic staple for artifact-focused decks, grounding the mechanical gameplay in the deep lore of the series.
