What it does
Time Lord's Prerogative — Whenever you cast a historic spell, copy it, except the copy isn't legendary. This ability triggers only once each turn. (Artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas are historic. A copy of a permanent spell becomes a token.)
"This is a situation that requires tact and finesse. Fortunately, I am blessed with both!"

Where it came from
The Sixth Doctor card, numbered 159, represents the iteration of the Time Lord portrayed by Colin Baker between 1984 and 1986. This card is part of the long-running Doctor Who trading card series, which chronicles the extensive history of the British science fiction television program that first aired in 1963. The item was produced to document the character's legacy, featuring the iconic, multi-colored patchwork coat and flamboyant cravat that defined the Sixth Doctor's aesthetic and signaled a move toward a more unpredictable and outspoken personality for the character.
The design of the card typically draws from publicity stills taken during the production of the show's 21st and 22nd seasons. These sets are created to serve as archival collectibles for fans of the franchise, emphasizing the costume design choices—often credited to BBC costume designers—that were intended to reflect the Doctor's chaotic and eccentric nature. Reception of this specific era remains a point of significant discussion among the fandom, often noted for its departure from the more understated costumes of previous Doctors.
