Twice Upon a Time // Unlikely Meeting card art
Twice Upon a Time // Unlikely Meeting puts two nonland permanents back into play from any graveyard — an effect powerful enough to swing a game on its own — and the Adventure half lets you set it up by tucking a card from hand to draw two. The Tenth Doctor decks lean on it hard because the back half generates Companions while the front half replays whatever legend just died, and that combination of value density and graveyard reach makes it one of the stronger Doctor Who-adjacent includes in any blue-green shell.

Twice Upon a Time // Unlikely Meeting is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but Commander is clearly its natural home. The Adventure mechanic rewards decks with lots of card movement and graveyard synergy, and the 100-card singleton format gives it more targets than any 60-card environment. Legacy and Vintage could theoretically support it, but those formats move too fast for a five-mana sorcery to matter — even one this impactful. Oathbreaker decks that can consistently reach five mana and fill the graveyard early are the other context where it's genuinely worth a slot.

unknown tier

Current pricing data for Twice Upon a Time // Unlikely Meeting isn't available in this snapshot, so check Scryfall or your preferred retailer for the live number. Given its niche appeal — primarily Doctor Who Commander builds rather than broad multi-format demand — it has historically sat below the threshold of competitive staples, which generally makes it a low-risk pickup for the decks that actually want it.
