Legendary Creature — Time Lord Doctor
Whenever The Seventh Doctor attacks, choose a card in your hand. Defending player guesses whether that card's mana value is greater than the number of artifacts you control. If they guessed wrong, you may cast it without paying its mana cost. If you don't cast a spell this way, investigate. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")
“Time Lord guessing game that turns artifacts into free spells and card advantage.”
The Seventh Doctor is a clever blue-white creature that rewards you for building an artifact-heavy deck while turning combat into a mind game. Every time the Doctor attacks, you get a guessing game that either lets you cast spells for free or generate Clue tokens for card draw. The deck wants to maximize artifacts to make your opponent's guessing harder while filling your hand with undercosted spells they can't reliably predict. You're playing a midrange strategy that generates value through repeated evasion and card advantage, turning the Doctor into a consistent engine that scales with your artifact count.
Your core gameplan revolves around playing cheap artifacts and tokens while attacking regularly with the Doctor. Cards like Ornithopter, Memnite, and Esper Sentinel give you free artifacts early, while Welcoming Vampire and other token producers help pad your artifact count. The more artifacts you control, the more likely your opponent guesses wrong, letting you sling free spells. Even when they guess right, you're getting Clues that turn into card draw, so you're never really behind. You're aiming to win through evasive combat damage while your hand stays full of tricks.
