I think that Masters of Evil is actually the among the most synergistic of the decks out of the box. In my games that deck became a problem quick

I think you might be sleeping on Everybody Lives. It has a lot of versatility: it stops craterhoof/critical mass swings, it can be a heroic intervention in a pinch, it shuts down storm, shuts down Thoracle ofc. It can even be used as a general fog if the table is conspiring against you and someone is swinging at you for 20. Being able to buy yourself another turn while being untouched is pretty solid imo. We have Angel's Grace ofc (and this card sees play!) but Angel's Grace puts you at 1 life which is a scary spot to be in, while Everybody Lives lets you untap unscathed

A neat interaction Missy can have is with the "Free" morph cycle. There are 3 morph creatures that their cost to flip them are to reveal their color from your hand(red black or blue respectfully). Meaning with a sac outlet you can loop them.

Beezy stopping after David Tennant left doesn't surprise me. He strikes me as the kinda guy who doesn't like Matt Smith. He sure did miss out on some classic episodes though. I consider Matt to be the Krenko: Mob Boss of 2005 Doctor Who.

As Foretold is such a good card in the Timey Wimey deck. The doctor's ability and the other time travel effects ramp up As Foretold pretty quickly and let;s you jsut hard cast big spells from your hand for free. I do agree that you would need to make a lot more cuts and additions to the deck to include those big spell payoffs (like Expropriate, Time Stretch, etc), but I believe it is a fantastic card.

Day 52 of guessing the Moxfield ad at 16:44. I pre-ordered all of the decks before all of the cards were spoiled because I'm part of the problem when it comes to presales. I'm super excited for the villains deck, as well as the deck with the first 8 doctors, but all of them look like fun!

I bought Paradox Power specifically so that I can do Twelfth Doctor plus Clara Oswald in black with the theme of exiling my opponents' stuff and/or kill them in a one-on-one situation by demonstrating an extra turns spell like Last Chance or Warrior's Oath. Currently seeing what I can do with the actual deck itself as I had a Temur Cascade shell with no home, and I might do the detectives as I once had a clue deck. There's a lot of versatility in this deck but it feels kinda...unfocused?

There was definitely an "Investigate" sub-theme in Paradox Power... Because that was the deck i built after playing with the precons unmodified. Fugitive Doctor + Nyssa of Traken Academy Manufactor. Fugitive is kinda there for colors, but Nyssa straight up just says "when Nyssa attacks, Sacrifice X Artifacts, Draw X Cards, Tap X things." it's kinda... Bonkers.

I was able to play with pods of unmodified precons, and I think the strongest was by far the Blast from the Past. The amount of board wipes in the four decks scared me until I realized Blast from the Past had _half_ of them. And it's the one that ramps up it's board state the most, with card advantage and creature buffs. Alistair was literally craterhoof without the trample. Hero's Podium is also in there for more buffs. I also was able to churn out Sixth Doctor a few times, and the lack of interaction in the four decks made him absolutely INSANE. If we're looking at normal games, it obviously needs some help... But so do all of them. None of them have enough interaction to really hold up, and they're all REALLY weak to interaction.

i have to say, i bought the three "doctors" precons, and out of all of them the blast from the past has been the most fun to me so far now i kind of merged them together, making the tenth doctor a temur deck which works WAY better than jeskai, and upgraded the blast from the past with some cards out of them, and even got some spare to make a war doctor deck blast from the past remains my favorite as of now, it's so much fun

They also missed Vrestin, Mentropa Leader. You get him out mid to late game and pump a bunch of mana into him, suddenly you have a board full of flying insects that get +1/+1 every time they attack. Between them, the big beefstick that Vrestin becomes, and copying them with the Sixth Doctor, you can potentially win right there.
