The Commander
Impossible Girl — If Clara Oswald is your commander, choose a color before the game begins. Clara Oswald is the chosen color.
If a triggered ability of a Doctor you control triggers, that ability triggers an additional time.
Doctor's companion (You can have two commanders if the other is the Doctor.)
Guide
Gameplan
Pair Clara with a Doctor partner whose abilities snowball each turn, then double every Doctor trigger to take over the game. You build toward a Doctor that generates value or pressure on attack/cast/end step, ride that engine, and close once the doubled triggers spiral out of control. Clara's chosen color plus the Doctor's identity dictates your whole shell, so deckbuilding starts with which Doctor you marry her to.
Strengths
- Doubles any Doctor's triggered abilities, turning incremental engines into runaway value
- Doctor's companion gives you a second command-zone card and effectively two threats
- Flexible color via Impossible Girl lets you add a fifth color or fill a gap in the Doctor's identity
- Many Doctors trigger on combat, history, or end step, all of which Clara amplifies for free
Weaknesses
Key Cards
- The Tenth Doctor — His time counter/suspend triggers double under Clara for absurd burst and tempo swings.
- The Thirteenth Doctor — Doubles your Doctor's already-doubled cast triggers, stacking saga and historic value enormously.
- The Fourth Doctor — Quest counters accumulate twice as fast, accelerating his payoff into game-ending casts.
- Strionic Resonator — Stacks with Clara to triple a key Doctor trigger at a critical moment.
- Lightning Greaves — Protects and hastes your fragile, expensive Doctor so the trigger engine survives removal.
Upgrade Path
Pick the most explosive Doctor for your meta and build the mana to deploy both commanders early, then add trigger multipliers like Strionic Resonator and protection like Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots. Tighten the curve with fast mana and tutors to find your Doctor consistently, and lean into a compact combo or value engine that abuses repeated doubled triggers rather than a scattered goodstuff pile.
