Description Over the summer I constructed a special Doctor Who themed deck for the Magic: The Gathering variant, Elder Dragon Highlander (EDH) AKA "Commander". I liked the deck I built so much, that I decided to take things a step further and build a custom box for it to look like the TARDIS.

I started off with a standard, plastic deck box, and from those dimensions, I designed the rest of the box: I drew up the pattern, measured and cut the wood, installed the blue LED strobe, assembled the box, and painted it. In total building the box itself probably took me 36 hours spread out over the summer.

I tried to get a good picture of the inside of the box, so you could see how I mounted the switch for the LED strobe. In retrospect, I ought to have painted the insides of the panels before assembling the box, but hindsight is always 20/20.

Pictured in some of the photos are a few cards from the deck, including three planeswalkers meant to represent the three modern Doctors.

Planeswalkers:
Tezzeret the Seeker (9)
Venser, the Sojourner (10)
Jace Beleren (11)

Other Cards Pictured:
Grand Arbiter Augustin IV
Into the Void
Angel's Tomb
Dimensional Breach
Archive Trap
Hanna, Ship's Navigator (Rose)
Time Warp
Reality Spasm

If you'd like to know what all's in the deck, or would like to build a Doctor Who EDH deck of your own, the deck list is available on MtG Vault, here: [link]

But is it bigger on the inside?

In all seriousness, though, this is amazing. I'd love to have a deck box like this.

I'm not sure where I left the pattern... I may upload it later... though it's not all correct... a lot of it needed tweaking.

Wow looks wicked! I love the deck. Been trying to rebuild a new one. Took mine apart cause no one played commander, then suddenly they do! >.<

You can get all the cards you need from Starcity Games online, but some of them will be really expensive, like "Geist of Saint Traft", "Iona, Shield of Emeria", and "Akroma's Memorial"

Your decks look scary! My Doctor Who deck is so passive it can't win unless there are at least 3 other players killing each other.

I don't think it's collectible, but the art is amazing. Here is a link to one of the pieces.
