Deck overview

This deck is a Jeskai midrange strategy centered on time counters, suspend mechanics, and combat synergy using The Tenth Doctor and Tegan Jovanka. Supported by a dense suite of 2-CMC mana acceleration, the deck aims to cast Tegan on Turn 3 and The Tenth Doctor on Turn 4. Declaring attacks on Turn 5 triggers The Tenth Doctor to exile and suspend nonland cards from the library while Tegan grants indestructible protection. By Turn 6, time-travel manipulation rapidly ticks down counters on massive threats like Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, Star Whale, and Ovika, Enigma Goliath. The deck converts these large evasive creatures, token swarms, and burn triggers from The War Doctor into lethal combat damage across two turns, closing games on Turn 8. High-cost modal interaction and protective phasing spells safeguard the board, though the strategy remains vulnerable to spell-taxing stax and exile sweepers.
