How The Fugitive Doctor decks play in EDH

The Fugitive Doctor is a Gruul commander in red and green costing 3RG, and its legendary creature - time lord doctor line shapes the whole deck around it. Sacrifice is built into the card, which pairs it with cheap recursive creatures and payoffs that trigger when something dies. It works out of the graveyard, so self-mill and cheap recursion effectively become extra card advantage. The cards below are the ones The Fugitive Doctor decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.

The Fugitive Doctor deck questions

The Fugitive Doctor has a Gruul colour identity, so every card in the deck must be red and green or colourless. That includes mana symbols in rules text, not just casting cost.

What are the best cards for The Fugitive Doctor?

The cards played most often in The Fugitive Doctor decks include Through the Forest Gate, Innocuous Researcher, Root Out. The full list of staples above is grouped by the job each card does, so you can see the deck's skeleton rather than just a pile of names.

How much does a The Fugitive Doctor deck cost?

The 20 most-played cards shown above come to roughly $49.79 at current market prices. A complete 100-card build costs more, and Grimoire can generate a budget version instead if you set a price ceiling.
