The War Doctor
Oracle Text
Whenever one or more other permanents phase out and whenever one or more other cards are put into exile from anywhere, put a time counter on The War Doctor.
Whenever The War Doctor attacks, it deals damage equal to the number of time counters on it to any target. If a creature dealt damage this way would die this turn, exile it instead.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
The War Doctor is best at home in a value-oriented control or midrange deck that can repeatedly trigger exile and phasing while buying time to build counters. Its body is sturdy for four mana, and once the counters start piling up, every attack becomes a scaling burn spell that can also remove creatures cleanly by exiling them instead of letting them die. That makes it excellent in a shell with blink, suspend, flicker, or exile-based removal—cards that naturally turn on his first ability while preserving board control. In a Doctor Who-themed build, he rewards a play pattern of disruption into inevitability: stabilize early, then swing with a threat that keeps growing without extra mana investment. Pair him with effects that phase your own permanents out or repeatedly exile creatures and tokens, and protect him long enough to attack multiple times; if unanswered, he quickly turns modest setup into a lethal, hard-to-stop clock.
