Deck overview

This Jeskai Commander deck pairs The Eleventh Doctor and Clara Oswald to build a high-velocity suspend engine. By leveraging the Doctor's unblockable ability and combat damage trigger, the deck cheats massive spells—such as Ulamog, the Defiler, It That Betrays, and Darksteel Colossus—into exile with time counters. It then uses time-travel spells and counter removers like All of History, All at Once, Dust of Moments, and Amy Pond to rapidly tick down those counters. When these behemoths cast from exile, payoff enchantments like Passionate Archaeologist and Keeper of Secrets deal direct burn equal to their mana values, while extra turn spells (Walk the Aeons, Part the Waterveil) and extra combats (Combat Celebrant, Relentless Assault) clear the table. While vulnerable to early spot removal on the Doctor and mass exile wipes, the deck's redundant suspend engines provide steady recovery and explosive late-game turns.
