How ironic that when you said "no companions win the lottery" when talking about Donna Noble..... because on her wedding day at the end of the 10th Doctor, he secretly slipped her a winning lottery ticket as a gift before he died.

Also Rose Tyler married a copy of the doctor in the end, therefore she had her happily ever after.

"No companion is just like, I won the lottery". The only exception really is the one you where talking about. Donna Noble did win the lottery. The doctor gave her a winning lottery ticket for her wedding.He gave it to her dad, who still remembered him.

He also let an alien who was a tour guide, who didn't know the currency and so just loaded a credit card with several million pounds/dollars, go have a nice life on earth if he promised to be quiet. That was the Christmas Special with Kylie Minogue playing Astrid, who also got a card that isn't a Companion (sadly).

Fun video, one thing that's been very fun as a Who fan is seeing non-fans learn a little bit about the show and their confusion and questions about it, what people think look cool and all that. I will note, the 8th Doctor was half-human, and fought against Eric Roberts as the Master in a TV movie on Fox in the USA. The 90s were a weird time for Doctor Who. Again, had a great time watching the video, thanks!

As of this moment, Susan is in fact, still alive. She was left in the future after the Daleks invaded the Earth. She's shown up a few times over the years. Mostly in the Big Finish audio adventures, it'd be nice to see her show up again in the show.

I played my first game with the Timey Wimy deck, and Rose Tyler got pretty big pretty fast. I was able to get Psychic Paper on her so she was unblockable and because of her low CMC, when she was removed, she came back the next turn.

There's surprisingly so many awesome cards with suspend, the Tenth Doctor/Rose deck plays incredible. Cards like Chronomatic escape makes u obnoxious to kill just like Meren/frog, also the infinite thingy with the refrains. Put an embercleave in the deck to hit with Rose. Amazing fun deck tbh, may be hard to track for new players tho.

A friend of mine who's age I'm not going to assume made fun of me because I mentioned recognizing Tom Baker in the 50th special since she watched his run of episodes while they were airing. The thrill of that must've been equivalent to playing Krenko, Mob Boss while he was legal in standard.

LOL So after a few games with the Timey Whimey deck and getting the Ninth Doctor out a few times I was very impressed with how low key powerful they are. I'd bring out the Tenth Doctor and they'd be targeted since they come off as LOUD. I bring out the Ninth Doctor rarely ever targeted and they did a ton of stuff with double upkeeps. The game that really made me fall in love was Ninth's interaction with Wilfred Mort, I got so many free things! I wanted Wilfred to be the companion after that game but on reading the card they are not a Doctor Companion so I went with Tegan Jovanka. I think it is a great design on the Ninth Doctor only costing 3cmc for a 2/4 (legendary 2/4 Giant Spider body) Haste creature, they hit the ground running and the text is written in such a way that they don't have to attack to get the effect, they just have to be tapped so they untap on upkeep, so you can add vehicles or things that will tap them and sit there and durdle value for days. The deck was quite easy to upgrade since at it's core it still retains Suspend so it was simple to add some great upkeep triggered cards to the deck like the Court of Ire/Grace/Embereth, Followed Footsteps, Assemble the Legion, Outlaw's Merriment. Paradox Haze and Strionic Resonator are solid inclusions in this deck also (3 upkeeps= hilarious shenanigans). I am sure there maybe stronger Upkeep effects but these are so fun at going wide quite quickly. I also added Space Marines (40K Universe Beyond) with Squad because when they come off of Suspend you can just pay the Squad cost and make a bunch of them for cheap and felt like the Doctor and Space Marines isn't that outlandish HEHEH. Not only my first but definitely a Super fun Jeskai build. My runner up favorite doctor is the Seventh Doctor can't wait to play guess that card with my opponent and have them guess wrong and drop a giant Eldrazi :P

No, the exact rules of the keyword is that "the doctor" means a legendary creature whose creature types are exactly "Time Lord Doctor" and nothing else. So a changeling wouldn't qualify because they're other creature types as well

25:40 No, it isn't impressive, but the 13th doctor and her companions were devoid of character. They would look at the camera and tell you their motivations and how awesome each other are. Just terrible writing. (I give ZERO shits that she isn't a women, I care that she was written like SHIT and retconned the ENITRE series and basically destroyed the character as a whole. I consider the entire thing to be fanfic.) The Eleventh is just terrible, it's sad. You have to take a card out of your hand, and give it suspend, 3 turns for a three drop? For Real?? The Tenth is just better in every possible way.
