The Dalek Emperor
Oracle Text
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.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
The Dalek Emperor is a powerful midrange-to-value payoff that turns a Dalek-heavy board into a relentless pressure engine. Affinity for Daleks can make its five-mana price tag deceptively low, so the best builds aim to flood the battlefield with cheap Daleks first, then drop the Emperor to convert that board into immediate damage with haste and repeated villainous choices. Its combat trigger is excellent in both aggro and control shells: against small boards, opponents will often sacrifice real creatures to avoid giving you more 3/3 menace tokens, while against token strategies the choice gets even more awkward. A strong deckbuilding tip is to prioritize cheap Daleks and token makers so the affinity discount is consistent and the haste clause matters more. In practice, The Dalek Emperor rewards tempo-oriented play, where each turn it forces the opponent to answer your board while your army keeps swinging.
