What it does
At the beginning of your upkeep, secretly choose a number between 1 and 5 that hasn't been chosen. If you do, an opponent guesses which number you chose, then you reveal the number you chose. If they guessed wrong, they lose life equal to the number they guessed and you draw a card. If they guessed right, sacrifice this enchantment.

Where it came from
The Toymaker's Trap was released as part of the Doctor Who Trading Card Game, which was designed to celebrate the long-running British science fiction series. This specific card represents a villainous encounter inspired by the Celestial Toymaker, an iconic antagonist first introduced in the 1966 serial of the same name. The design process focused on translating the surreal, game-focused nature of the character into a tabletop mechanic, utilizing imagery that evokes the whimsical yet unsettling aesthetic of the Toymaker's domain.
Upon its release, the card was received as a nostalgic nod for fans of classic Who episodes. It reflects the broader design philosophy of the set, which aimed to bridge the gap between historical serials and modern incarnations of the Doctor. The illustration work sought to capture the character's signature blend of theatrical elegance and sinister intent, ensuring the card felt grounded within the established lore of the franchise.
