Blast From The Past
This green, white, and blue deck takes from the classic era of the show, bringing together the first eight Doctors, their companions, and enemies we haven’t seen in decades.
Cleverly for a deck that needed to cram in at least eight legendary creatures for The Doctors, and even more for their companions, this is a historic-focused deck that wants you to play legendary cards, Sagas, and artifacts.
Though the three Doctor-focused decks are all intended to have a mix-and-match quality to their commanders, the main two for this deck are The Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith. With them together, you’ll be making plenty of Artifact tokens, which is perfect for when you’re wanting to cast so many historic-loving cards.

Timey-Wimey
Based on the first three Doctors of the New Who era, Christopher Ecclestone, David Tennant, and Matt Smith, the Timey-Wimey deck plays with a mechanic rarely seen in Commander: time counters.
By making ample use of both suspend and vanishing, alongside the new time travel keyword that lets you add or take away time counters, this deck seeks to keep things in play longer than they should, or cheat suspend and get them into play quicker.
The primary commanders here are The Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler. With both out, you can swing in with Rose to get a card suspended for free and a counter on Rose to make her hit even harder.

Paradox Power
Bringing together the Twelfth and Thirteenth Doctors, Paradox Power is a green, blue, and red deck that likes you to play cards from just about anywhere other than you hand. Suspending, foretelling, exiling off the top of your library, anything is fair game as long as it doesn’t come from your hand.
Leading the deck is The Thirteenth Doctor and Yasmin Khan. This is one of the most straight-forward Doctor and companion pairings in the decks: Yaz exiles cards, The Thirteenth Doctor puts counters on stuff for playing that exiled card, and then untaps all your creatures with counters on to help them swing in.
A notable addition to this deck is The Twelfth Doctor’s companion, Clara Oswald. Despite not being a draft format, this is the set’s take on The Prismatic Piper or Faceless One, in that she is a colourless commander that can partner up with any Doctor to make the colour identity you want. As a neat design, every Doctor has a triggered ability, meaning Clara synergises well with all of them.
