Oracle Text

Parallel Universe — Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, time travel. (For each suspended card you own and each permanent you control with a time counter on it, you may add or remove a time counter.)

Character Background

Time Beetle is a deceptively slippery two-drop that fits best in tempo decks, especially blue shells that want to chip in early while keeping the board awkward for opposing blockers. A 1/1 with skulk means it slips past larger creatures reliably, and its real reward comes from dealing combat damage: the time travel trigger lets you manipulate suspended cards and any permanents you control with time counters. That makes it a strong support piece for decks built around suspend, vanishing, or other counter-based delay effects, where every hit can speed up your own game plan or set back a key countdown. In Doctor Who-themed builds, it naturally reinforces the set’s temporal identity, but in constructed play it also plays nicely with evasive pump spells, bounce effects, or cheap protection to keep connecting. If you can repeatedly land damage, Time Beetle becomes a steady source of incremental value rather than just a fragile attacker.
