The War Doctor Rules Text & Legality

The War Doctor

Whenever one or more other permanents phase out and whenever one or more other cards are put into exile from anywhere, put a time counter on The War Doctor.

Whenever The War Doctor attacks, it deals damage equal to the number of time counters on it to any target. If a creature dealt damage this way would die this turn, exile it instead.

The War Doctor is legal in Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern and Pauper.

The War Doctor Rulings

  • Oct 13, 2023

    If The War Doctor phases out at the same time as any other permanents, its first ability won't trigger.

  • Oct 13, 2023

    If an effect instructs you to choose a creature type, you may choose Time Lord.

  • Oct 13, 2023

    Neither "Time" nor "Lord" are creature types. Some older cards were printed with the subtype "Lord," but all of those cards have updated Oracle card text that removed that type.

  • Oct 13, 2023

    Unlike other creature types in Magic that are each only one word, the two words "Time Lord" represent a single creature subtype. Time Lord is the only two-word creature type.

  • Oct 13, 2023

    You choose the target of the second ability as it attacks. The number of time counters is checked at the time the ability resolves. If The War Doctor has left the battlefield by that time, use the number of time counters it had on it the last time it was on the battlefield to determine how much damage it deals to that target.
