About this card
Mana cost: {5}{B}{R}
Type: Legendary Artifact Creature — Dalek
Affinity for Daleks (This spell costs {1} less to cast for each Dalek you control.) Other Daleks you control have haste. At the beginning of combat on your turn, each opponent faces a villainous choice — That player sacrifices a creature of their choice, or you create a 3/3 black Dalek artifact creature token with menace.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my The Dalek Emperor is real?
The Dalek Emperor is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the print quality and cardstock (real cards have a distinctive blue inner core visible from the edge), the rosette pattern on the back, the security stamp on planeswalker / mythic cards from recent sets, and confirm the collector number and set code match the official Scryfall record. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
