Deck overview

This Mardu deck pairs The War Doctor with Clara Oswald (specifying black) to turn exile-based mechanics into lethal direct damage. The deck's primary strategy accelerates early mana using efficient two-mana rocks, deploys The War Doctor by turn 4, and leverages cascade, discover, and impulse-draw effects like Into the Time Vortex, Ryan Sinclair, and Bonehoard Dracosaur to stack time counters rapidly. When The War Doctor attacks, doubled triggers from Clara Oswald, Isshin, Two Heavens as One, or Windcrag Siege direct massive damage bursts at opponents and their creatures, supported by finishers like All Will Be One and Bloodletter of Aclazotz. Defensive depth is provided by free protection spells such as Deflecting Swat and Flawless Maneuver, alongside silence effects like Grand Abolisher. Furthermore, the deck holds a devastating stax ceiling by combining Drannith Magistrate with Possibility Storm to lock opponents out of casting spells entirely.
