Overview:
A unique Doctor Who-themed deck focused on casting spells from outside the hand (graveyard, exile) to trigger various "Paradox" abilities while utilizing The Thirteenth Doctor and Yasmin Khan as commanders to generate value through counters and card advantage.
Primer:
The deck aims to establish value engines through casting spells from non-hand zones, triggering various "Paradox" abilities that generate counters and other effects. The Thirteenth Doctor provides counter synergy while Yasmin Khan enables casting from exile. The strategy involves using cards with Flashback, Retrace, and other alternative casting methods to repeatedly trigger Paradox abilities. Card advantage and creature enhancement form the core gameplan, with various utility creatures providing additional value through counter synergies.
Weaknesses:
The deck is heavily reliant on having access to spells in non-hand zones, making graveyard hate particularly devastating. The mana base needs improvement, and the deck can struggle against faster, more aggressive strategies. The reliance on creatures sticking around for value makes it vulnerable to board wipes.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 4/10
- Resilience: 5/10
- Consistency: 4/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a casual level, with interesting synergies but lacking the speed and consistency of higher-powered decks. While it has some powerful interactions, particularly through its Paradox triggers and alternative casting costs, it typically needs several turns to establish its gameplan. The deck would struggle against focused decks in the 6-7 range but could hold its own against other casual strategies. The unique theme and synergies place it firmly in the casual category, but with room for optimization.
Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
