Doctor

The Doctor card serves as a thematic front card for the Jumpstart 2022 release of Magic: The Gathering. These front cards were introduced to help players identify the specific deck themes within the Jumpstart product, which is designed as a self-contained, randomized play experience where two decks are shuffled together to create a ready-to-play deck. The card highlights the Doctor theme, an homage to long-running science fiction tropes involving time-traveling protagonists, and serves as a decorative marker rather than a functional piece for gameplay.

The design of the card leans into classic aesthetic motifs associated with time-traveling heroes, featuring a stylized depiction of a figure set against a conceptual backdrop of clocks and temporal motifs. Like the other front cards in the set, the illustration was commissioned to be immediately evocative of its associated theme to assist in deck organization. It was received by players primarily as a useful utility component for the Jumpstart format, appreciated for its clear visual language within a set focused on ease of access and diverse thematic play.
