The Second Doctor deck questions

What colours can I use in a The Second Doctor deck?

The Second Doctor has a Azorius colour identity, so every card in the deck must be white and blue or colourless. That includes mana symbols in rules text, not just casting cost.

What are the best cards for The Second Doctor?

The cards played most often in The Second Doctor decks include Gleaming Splendor, Samut, Tyrant of Naktamun, Bard, King of Dale. 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 Second Doctor deck cost?

The 20 most-played cards shown above come to roughly $83.86 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.

Yes. Import your collection into Grimoire and choose "my cards" when you build. The generator will only use cards you actually own, and the Missing Cards page shows what you would need to buy to finish any list.
