Question - the Temple of Mystery MTG card, what is it a reference to? (lemmy.world)

Just bought and am looking through/sorting out my cards, lol.

This temple, it looks like some Alamo-reminiscent base of a building, someone in a ghost sheet standing on top, and of top of that person's head is a crescent (moon?) with a globe in the middle. It's set next to/at the bottom a cliffside, surrounded by green forest below, a little lake/river ~~future~~ further below, dead tree trunks framing the sides of the scene closer to the viewer. Link to the card for reference: https://www.mtgnexus.com/cards/doctor-who/88238-temple-of-mystery

Added context for why I'm asking: I've only watched NuWho, from the 9th to the end of the 12th/clara's arc so far

Lots of temples in Doctor Who, but I'm not seeing any temple of mystery. Might have been created for the card set.

It's just new art for an older card, the Temple cycle has been around (and reprinted many times) since 2013.

True. I figured that Temple of Mystery was a reskin, like the Temple of Enlightenment one is actually the New New York hospital, not necessarily a temple temple. Card art link, from its scryfall page

Imma be disappointed if this building art for Temple of Mystery is just someone's hallucination v.v
