Have we ever seen the interior of the Master's TARDIS?

In the classic series yes, I don't think we've seen it in the revival?

I'm not sure it's even clear they HAVE one most of the time in the new series.

There’s implication the Dhawan Master had one, I think? Missy used a vortex manipulator, for sure. Simms used the Doctor’s, but I can’t remember if he said how he was on the Mondasian ship?

There's the time when he steals the TARDIS and when you see it again its all red and messy with metal grating everywhere.

Ah, I genuinely forgot Simms Master was [a] in the End of Time, and [b] survived. From the Whowiki:quote:At some point, the Saxon Master, after being cured of his "little condition" and banished from Gallifrey, (TV: The End of Time) arrived on Floor 1056; upon arriving, he attempted to escape but flew his TARDIS too fast in close proximity to the black hole, burning out his ship's dematerialisation circuit and stranding him on the colony ship.

From what I remember, Dhawan Master had one, we saw the cabin from the window of the plane, but I don’t think we saw the inside (unless we saw the inside when we met him earlier? I only watched that episode once). Sims Master just used 10’s TARDIS, I think. Any way you split it, I wouldn’t say you’ve seen “The Master’s TARDIS” in the revival, because even if you can find a loophole, it wouldn’t really be their legit console. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Nov 26, 2023 |

Dhawan's Master has some kind of TARDIS in Power of the Doctor.

Clouseau posted:"President-Elect" Obama, as if that is a specific office. But he was going to announce how to fix the global economy! Honestly, the Master turning everyone on earth into copies of himself probably solely in order to make a terrible pun was a fun, totally absurd concept and I was fine with that as a level of Doctor Who crazy.

I will say it was a bit difficult to get a handle on the score in this episode, it played a bit like Gold's Greatest Hits at times.

The one I really noticed was the 'Doctor and Donna save the day' scene in the spaceship seemed to be using the Eleventh Doctor's theme. Gaz-L posted:Turns out deleting the words 'at the end of turn, sacrifice this' from cards is very powerful. Also, it honestly feels like the Doctor Who villain deck was the one designed to appeal specifically to pre-existing Magic players, since it's the one with not just really weird card dynamics that only make sense to people who know the game really well, but also a bunch of reprints of big-deal cards. ...but because it's also the deck that appeals to fans of every era of the show, it also means it's really sought-after on that side, and the end result is REALLY jacked-up prices. Which is unfortunate, it looks like a really fun deck. Oh well, I have the Twelve/Thirteen deck, so I get the joy of beating people to death with the worst episodes of the show. The abortion metaphor from Kill the Moon shouldn't be allowed to be a power card like this.

Khanstant posted:I got all four, hoping to play with my family at christmas. Just got sleeves for em just haven't gotten round to sleeving or yet so I'm still not sure what each deck is like. A general pitch of what every deck's main 'thing' is: Fourth Doctor: A whole lot of focus on Sagas, cards that gain different effects with every turn they're on the field. (Its Sagas are all named and themed on famous multi-part stories, it's very cute.) Tenth Doctor: Outright use of the pre-existing 'time travel' mechanic, with a lot of funkiness about playing combos out of sequence. Thirteenth Doctor: A bunch of stuff that works with the new 'Paradox' keyword, with cards that proc their effects if another card is played form somewhere other than the hand. It loves convoluted ways to get cards in weird places and then use them. Villains: A lot of outright destruction, as well as both board and graveyard control. From what I've gathered from both playing and learning from friends who are more into Magic than me, the Thirteen deck is probably the most powerful of them all 'out of the box', although it's also probably the most high-skill. Meanwhile the villain deck, as I said, has a lot of individual cards that are really big deals in both its reprints and originals, but if it doesn't hit those cards specifically then it struggles to get going. (EDIT: However, all of them are pretty good, both compared to each other and other precon Commander decks.) Cleretic fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Nov 27, 2023 |

While I don't much care for any of the Chibnall run (which considering I disliked almost every episode he wrote before he was showrunner, kinda saw it coming) but goddamn, Dhawan NAILED it. I also love that they just used a little plastic figure for the people he shrinks with the tissue compressor rather than any extravagant effect lmao I do hope he comes back, so we can have a modern Master who menaces more than just one specific Doctor (excluding Simms coming back for the last Capaldi episode I suppose)

Cleretic posted:A general pitch of what every deck's main 'thing' is: More specifically: The Classic Doctors deck is focused on the 'historic' mechanic which does INCLUDE Sagas, but also does stuff with artifacts and legendary creatures. And the Ten/Eleven deck actually adds a 'time travel' mechanic to mess with a few existing mechanics (suspend and vanishing) and let things happen sooner, or stop later than they otherwise would.

I'm introducing my family to it since I already play the game and they're familiar enough with Doctor Who some of the top down design should hopefully make sense to them. Being handed a commander deck for a random game at a bar is how I got sucked into mtg. You get mixed reviews for commander (the 4 player mode) as a teaching tool, usually folks recommend poking around the digital versions Arena to get the very basics down. I was familiar with Hearthstone and random other card games when I played so it was fairly intuitive once you learn the steps and turns and 3 people who did know the game were supremely helpful in learning the basics for me. The doctor who decks are "planechase" decks which is a variant of commander that might add extra complexity, but I've heard of folks just ignoring that part and the decks are just normal themed commander decks. If you've got nobody who ever played MtG, I would recommend building some baseline familiarity through Arena or videos just so there's at least 1 person who has seen how a game flows in general.

That's not to say you can't do it though. If it's what sparks a new hobby for you, dive in and immerse yourself. Take every loss and mistake (and there will be many of both) as a learning opportunity and you'll get there.

I'd recommend finding other ways to learn the basics (MtG Arena's tutorials are good), but if you're into Doctor Who then I think the decks are actually decent introductions to complex Magic/Commander decks, because they go through a lot of effort to accurately reflect moments from the show. It's hard to wrap your head around the Foretold Soldier just looking at it, but then you realize that its whole thing is just a card game version of how his weird monster gimmick actually worked. It can be a bit of a 'jump in the deep end and try your best' experience, but if that's a way you learn then it can do you well. It also helps that the decks are actually good. Like, this isn't just softballing you a deck that's easy to learn but would fold the instant it entered a real match, they can actually throw some punches if you play well. I'd probably put it at a good 'middle step' for learning. You don't want to learn the game's basics with them specifically, and it'll be a bit of a task to learn how to pilot them, but they're a good deck for your first time at a casual local event.
