Deck overview

This Grixis deck pairs The Tenth Doctor with Clara Oswald (naming Black) to run a high-synergy suspend and exile-focused strategy. The deck accelerates in the opening turns using 2-mana artifacts and suspend ramp like Lotus Bloom, then deploys The Tenth Doctor on Turn 4 to start stocking exile with high-impact spells via attack triggers. Once suspended cards tick down naturally or accelerate through time travel and extra upkeep steps from Obeka, Splitter of Seconds, the deck unleashes multiple free spells in a single turn. Payoffs like Passionate Archaeologist and The Lost and the Damned convert these free casts into massive direct damage and wide token armies. While vulnerable to well-timed creature removal and board wipes, the deck features strong secondary threats in Etali, Primal Storm and Prosper, Tome-Bound to overwhelm opponents across mid-game turns.
