A paradoxical way to play Magic: The Gathering.
Playing this deck proves without a doubt that history is never boring.
The standard commanders areThe Fourth DoctorandSarah Jane Smith, who make a fine pairing.
You get card advantage, life gain, and access to a bunch of artifact tokens.
There are a few other options to consider.
There areten Plane cardsin the deck, something that isn’t too common in casual Commander games.
There area lot of Doctorswith fun effects, but they reallydon’t fit the theme.
Ditto toThe First,Fifth, andSeventh Doctors.
Finally,there are just better cards than Hero’s Blade and TARDISthat we could easily substitute for.
Good thing there are plenty of better historic cards to add for everything that was cut.
She’s a great addition to Blast From The Past.
Battle at the Helvault
Forget all these human, mutant, and lizard tokens.
What we want is an8/8 angel with flying, vigilance, and indestructible.
This card also temporarily removes a few cards until Avacyn arrives.
Champion’s Helm
Better than Hero’s Bladeby a country mile.
Elspeth Conquers Death
Removal and reanimationwith a little bit of delay in the middle.
A great saga to add to Blast From The Past.
You’ll also just get more tokens.
Gold-Forged Thopteryx
Cheap protection forall yourlegendary creatures.
Plus, as an artifact, it still gets hit by Doctor Four’s ability.
Martha Jones
Martha actually comes from a different Doctor Who deck where she really doesn’t belong.
Snag her toimprove your Clue tokens.
Peregrin Took
Create more Foodevery time you create any token at all, and thenstart drawing cards from themtoo.
A great new addition.
Relic of Legends
Ramp that also turns all your legendary creatures into ramp.
Rosie Cotton of South Lane
Rosie helpscreate Food tokensand is also anescalating threat.
Nothing wrong with either.
Time of Need
Sisay would be great, but she’s $20 and way out of our budget.
Time of Need is a decent alternative that can stillfind the legendary critter you need when you need it.
Urza’s Ruinous Blast
Threeboard wipesare great, but four is better.
Plus,this card is a Legendary spellthat can be played with The Fourth Doctor.
War of the Last Alliance
Morelegendary tutoring and a double strike finish.
A far more effective saga than the ones being cut.
That’s all you really need.
You could also considerPongifyandRapid Hybridizationover Time Lord Regeneration since there aren’t as many Doctors in the deck anymore.
Explore isn’t the greatest ramp spell, so perhaps consider replacing that withFelwar Stone.
