How The Fourth Doctor decks play in EDH
The Fourth Doctor is a Simic commander in blue and green costing 2GU, and its legendary creature - time lord doctor line shapes the whole deck around it. It makes tokens, so the deck wants ways to pump a wide board and to turn spare bodies into cards or damage. Artifacts drive the deck, so cheap mana rocks and artifact recursion do double duty. The cards below are the ones The Fourth Doctor decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
