The War Doctor {2}{R}{W}

Legendary Creature — Time Lord Doctor · 3/5 · Rare · Doctor Who · #772

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.

5 rulings from Wizards of the Coast
  1. 13 October 2023You choose the target of the second ability as it attacks. The number of time counters is checked at the time the ability resolves. If The War Doctor has left the battlefield by that time, use the number of time counters it had on it the last time it was on the battlefield to determine how much damage it deals to that target.
  2. 13 October 2023If The War Doctor phases out at the same time as any other permanents, its first ability won't trigger.
  3. 13 October 2023Neither "Time" nor "Lord" are creature types. Some older cards were printed with the subtype "Lord," but all of those cards have updated Oracle card text that removed that type.
  4. 13 October 2023If an effect instructs you to choose a creature type, you may choose Time Lord.
  5. 13 October 2023Unlike other creature types in Magic that are each only one word, the two words "Time Lord" represent a single creature subtype. Time Lord is the only two-word creature type.
