Overview:

This is a time counter manipulation deck that leverages suspend and time counter mechanics to generate value, with The Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler working in tandem to create exponential growth of time counters and eventual overwhelming advantage.

Primer:

The deck's primary strategy revolves around using suspend and time counter mechanics to create a powerful engine. The Tenth Doctor's ability to exile cards with suspend provides card advantage while setting up future plays, while Rose Tyler grows stronger as more time counters accumulate across the board. The deck includes numerous ways to manipulate time counters through cards like Clockspinning, Jhoira's Timebug, and Training Grounds to reduce activation costs.

The deck wins through either commander damage with an exponentially growing Rose Tyler, or through value generation from suspended spells coming off suspension at opportune moments. Cards like Sphinx of the Second Sun and As Foretold provide additional resource advantages, while interaction pieces like Cyclonic Rift and Farewell help control the board. The deck can create explosive turns by manipulating multiple suspended cards to come off suspension simultaneously.

Weaknesses:

The deck is heavily reliant on its commanders and can struggle if they're repeatedly removed. It's vulnerable to cards that prevent activated abilities like Cursed Totem, and graveyard hate can limit its ability to recur key pieces. The deck also requires several turns to properly set up its engine, making it susceptible to faster aggressive strategies.

Most Important Cards:

1. Jhoira of the Ghitu
2. As Foretold
3. Training Grounds
4. Rings of Brighthearth
5. Sphinx of the Second Sun
6. Passionate Archaeologist
7. Rhystic Study

Attribute Ratings:

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

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a focused-optimized level, typically establishing its engine around turns 6-7 and threatening wins shortly thereafter. While it includes powerful cards and synergies, it lacks the explosive fast mana and efficient tutors found in higher-powered decks. The interaction suite is solid but not overwhelming, and the strategy requires time to develop, placing it firmly in the focused-optimized category.

Final power level rating: 6.0 - 6.5

The deck's mana base is well-constructed with appropriate color distribution and utility lands, though it could benefit from more efficient mana rocks. The strategy is unique and can be powerful, but it's fair and interactive, allowing for meaningful gameplay experiences without being oppressive. The deck shows clear optimization within its theme while maintaining a reasonable power level for most casual-competitive pods.
