The Fifteenth Doctor
Legendary Creature — Time Lord Doctor
Whenever The Fifteenth Doctor enters or attacks, mill three cards. You may put an artifact card with mana value 2 or 3 from among them into your hand. The first nonartifact spell you cast each turn has improvise. (Your artifacts can help cast that spell. Each artifact you tap after you're done activating mana abilities pays for {1}.)

Strategy
The Fifteenth Doctor is a clever mill-and-ramp commander that turns your graveyard into a resource engine. Every time the Doctor enters or attacks, you're milling three cards and potentially filling your hand with cheap artifacts—which then fuel your first spell each turn via improvise. This creates a satisfying loop: mill for value, grab artifacts, cast spells cheaper, repeat.
Your gameplan revolves around maximizing mill triggers (through extra combat steps, flicker effects, and bounce) while stocking your deck with two- and three-mana artifacts that matter. Cards like Solemn Simulacrum, Burnished Hart, and Hedron Archive give you repeatable value when milled or cast. The improvise mechanic lets you cast bigger spells for free—imagine casting a hasty creature or removal spell without spending mana. You'll win through consistent commander damage, artifact synergies, and outresourcing opponents with efficient plays.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip pricey mana rocks like Mana Crypt; use Burnished Hart, Star Compass, and Chromatic Lantern instead. Cheap creatures like Goblin tokens work fine without expensive lords.
