ANALYSIS

Overview:

A flavorful Doctor Who-themed deck focused on historic permanents and tokens, led by The Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith, utilizing a mix of Time Lords, companions, and artifacts to generate value through Food, Clue, and other tokens while building toward a board presence.

Primer:

The deck aims to leverage its commanders' historic-based abilities to generate card advantage and tokens. The Fourth Doctor enables playing historic spells from the top of the library while creating Food tokens, while Sarah Jane Smith provides additional value through Investigation. The strategy involves building a board presence through various Doctor cards and companions while using tokens for both utility and combat. The deck can win through combat damage with buffed creatures or through value accumulation and control elements. Early game focuses on ramping and setting up token generators, mid-game on developing board presence, and late game on overwhelming opponents with value and creature superiority.

Weaknesses:

The deck is vulnerable to graveyard hate and artifact removal, which can disrupt many of its value engines. Board wipes can be particularly devastating as the deck relies heavily on creature-based strategies. The mana base appears somewhat inconsistent, which could lead to color-fixing issues in the early game.

Top 10 Most Impactful Cards:

  • The Fourth Doctor
  • Sarah Jane Smith
  • TARDIS
  • Sol Ring
  • Arcane Signet
  • Gallifrey Stands
  • The Five Doctors
  • Sonic Screwdriver
  • Heroes' Podium
  • Time Wipe

Attribute Ratings:

  • Speed: 4/10
  • Resilience: 5/10
  • Consistency: 5/10
  • Interaction: 6/10

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a casual level, with a clear theme and strategy but lacking the explosive power or consistency of higher-powered decks. While it has some strong interaction pieces and can generate significant value over time, its win conditions are primarily combat-based and require multiple turns to set up. The deck would struggle against focused competitive strategies but should perform well in casual pods. The historic theme provides good synergy, but the reliance on creature-based strategies and somewhat slow development places it firmly in the casual category.

Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
