The First Doctor
Oracle Text
When The First Doctor enters, search your library and/or graveyard for a card named TARDIS, reveal it, and put it into your hand. If you search your library this way, shuffle.
Whenever you cast a spell with cascade, put a +1/+1 counter on target artifact or creature.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
The First Doctor is a clean value engine for a tempo-control shell that wants to keep developing while squeezing extra material out of every turn. In Magic: The Gathering, the 2/2 body for {1}{W}{U} is modest, but entering the battlefield to tutor up TARDIS from your library or graveyard means he effectively replaces himself and helps assemble the deck’s signature piece faster. The second ability rewards cascade, so pairing him with cascade-heavy spells lets you spread +1/+1 counters onto key artifacts or creatures, turning a small board into a real threat over time. Deckbuilding-wise, prioritize cheap interaction and recursive or artifact-focused threats so the Doctor can protect a growing board rather than race. He fits especially well in Azorius builds that can play a long game, stabilize early, then pivot into incremental advantage through repeated cascade triggers and the steady pressure of a protected artifact threat.
