When The First Doctor enters, search your library and/or graveyard for a card named TARDIS, reveal it, and put it into your hand. If you search your library this way, shuffle. Whenever you cast a spell with cascade, put a +1/+1 counter on target artifact or creature.

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

  • WotCOct 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.

  • WotCOct 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.

  • WotCOct 13, 2023

    You choose the target for The First Doctor's last ability before revealing any cards for cascade.
