The Second Doctor

The Second Doctor is a charming political commander that turns card draw into a defensive pact. Your core gameplan is to enable everyone at the table to draw extra cards while using the "How Civil of You" ability to pacify opponents—anyone who takes your draw offer can't attack you next turn, creating a web of temporary truces. This lets you operate safely while building up resources and advantage. Since players have no maximum hand size, you're also setting up a grindy, value-focused game where card advantage compounds and opponents naturally fill their hands with options that dilute their aggression.

You win by outlasting opponents through incremental advantage and eventually closing out with combat damage or a grinding attrition plan. The deck rewards patience and negotiation; you're essentially saying "take this card, but spare me for a turn." This makes you a natural group-hug style commander who plays well with table politics. You'll lean into effects that draw cards for multiple players, let you untap The Second Doctor repeatedly, or capitalize on full hands (like cards that punish hand size or trigger on draw effects).

The strategy is midrange and forgiving—there's no complex combo to execute, just steady value and diplomacy. It's perfect for players who enjoy political gameplay and don't mind a longer, more interactive game.
