▸Commander damage from a pumped, trampling Third Doctor

▸Going wide with token engines plus an anthem or overrun effect

▸Sacrificing/leveraging Treasures and Clues into a big finisher like Cultivator Colossus or X-spells

Archetypes

Tokens — The Doctor literally grows with every noncreature token, rewarding wide artifact-token production.
Voltron — Trample plus the +1/+1-per-token clock makes him a fast, hard-to-block commander-damage threat.
Artifacts — Clue/Treasure/Food are all artifacts, so artifact-matters payoffs and recursion fit naturally.
Value Midrange — Token engines provide ongoing card draw and ramp to grind out long games.

Trample

The Third Doctor gets +1/+1 for each noncreature token you control.

When The Third Doctor enters, create your choice of a Clue token, a Food token, or a Treasure token.

Flood the board with noncreature tokens (Clues, Treasures, Food, Maps, Powerstones) to pump The Third Doctor into a huge tramplng threat while drawing cards and ramping. You play a value-heavy midrange game generating artifact tokens every turn, then close with commander damage or a token-fueled finisher. Doctor Who's Doctor/companion synergy lets you partner him with a companion background for extra value.

Self-pumping commander that scales with a strategy you'd run anyway (token generation)

Trample makes blocking nearly impossible, enabling commander-damage kills

Token engines double as card advantage (Clues) and ramp (Treasures)

Sultai-adjacent GU shell has deep token and artifact support

Relies on the commander being in play—prone to removal and the recast tax

Slow to assemble; token engines take time to snowball

Noncreature-token count can be wiped by mass artifact removal

Lacks innate evasion beyond trample, so chump-friendly only if pumped huge

Academy Manufactor

Triples your Clue/Food/Treasure output, exploding both your token count and the Doctor's size.

The Thirteenth Doctor

A premier GU partner background-style companion that adds suspend and time-counter synergy alongside token value.

Smothering Tithe

Generates a steady stream of Treasure tokens that pump the Doctor and ramp you out.

Tireless Provisioner

Turns every land and token-maker into extra Treasures or Food for the Doctor.

Cultivator Colossus

Pairs with extra lands to refill your hand, and big bodies back up the token plan.

Add token multipliers (Academy Manufactor, Mondrak, Glory Dominus, Anointed Procession) and reliable token engines (Smothering Tithe, Tireless Provisioner, Reckoner Bankbuster) to grow the Doctor faster. Improve protection with Heroic Intervention, Lightning Greaves, and Swiftfoot Boots so he survives to swing, and tighten the manabase with fast rocks and dual lands. For a faster kill, include trample/anthem payoffs or a Craterhoof-style overrun to convert your token board into lethal in one turn.
