Provenance

Where it came from

Impending Flux was released as part of the Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond: Doctor Who set, which brought the long-running British science fiction series into the game’s multiverse. As a rare sorcery card, it was designed to capture the chaotic, time-bending essence of the show, allowing players to manipulate the battlefield in ways that mirror the unpredictable nature of the TARDIS and its inhabitants. The card serves as a thematic centerpiece for the Paradox mechanic introduced in the set, emphasizing the show's preoccupation with cause and effect across history.

The card’s illustration was crafted by artist Ben Wootten, who was tasked with visualizing the volatile energy of a time-space rupture. Wootten utilized his background in concept art to emphasize the overwhelming, cinematic scale of the event, aiming for a composition that feels both awe-inspiring and slightly menacing. The design was well-received by fans for its successful integration of Magic’s high-fantasy visual language with the iconic, slightly retro-futuristic aesthetic of Doctor Who.
