ANALYSIS

Overview:

This is a suspend/time counter-focused deck that uses The Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler as partner commanders to manipulate time counters and generate value through suspended spells and time counter synergies.

Primer:

The deck's primary strategy revolves around using The Tenth Doctor's abilities to exile cards with suspend and Rose Tyler to grow stronger as more time counters accumulate. The deck includes various ways to manipulate time counters through cards like Clockspinning, Jhoira's Timebug, and Training Grounds to reduce activation costs.

The win conditions include combat damage through a powered-up Rose Tyler, value generation through suspended spells, and some larger threats like Void Winnower and Bane of Bala Ged. The deck can create powerful board states through cards like Sphinx of the Second Sun and As Foretold, while maintaining control with counterspells and removal options.

Weaknesses:

  • Heavily relies on time counter manipulation, which can be slow and vulnerable to removal
  • Limited instant-speed interaction outside of a few counterspells
  • Susceptible to graveyard hate and exile effects that can disrupt suspended spells
  • Can struggle against aggressive strategies before establishing its engine

Most Important Cards:

  1. As Foretold
  2. Training Grounds
  3. Jhoira of the Ghitu
  4. Rings of Brighthearth
  5. Rhystic Study
  6. Sphinx of the Second Sun
  7. Cyclonic Rift
  8. Sol Ring
  9. Sensei's Divining Top
  10. Mana Geyser

Attribute Ratings:

  • Speed: 5/10
  • Resilience: 6/10
  • Consistency: 7/10
  • Interaction: 6/10

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a focused casual level, with its strategy typically coming online around turns 7-8. While it includes some powerful cards and synergies, the reliance on time counters and suspend mechanics makes it slower than more aggressive strategies. The deck has good consistency due to card selection effects and multiple ways to manipulate time counters, but it lacks the explosive power or fast mana needed to compete at higher power levels.

Final power level rating: 5.5 - 6.0

The deck sits between high-power casual and focused due to its consistent gameplan and inclusion of powerful cards, but its inherent reliance on slower mechanics like suspend keeps it from reaching higher power levels. It has good interaction and resilience once established but requires time to set up its engine.
