Graham O'Brien
Oracle Text

Doctor's companion (You can have two commanders if the other is the Doctor.)
Card Details
Set
Character Background
Graham O’Brien is a clean value engine for a proactive Doctor Who Commander deck, especially one built around tempo and incremental resource generation. As a 2/2 for just two mana, he comes down early and starts rewarding the exact kind of weird, time-bending play patterns the Doctor encourages: every spell cast from exile, the graveyard, or another non-hand zone turns into a Food token, giving you both life padding and a reusable artifact for sacrifice synergies. That makes him especially strong with blink, suspend, rebound, flashback, and cascade-style effects, and he pairs naturally with commanders that help cast cards off the top or from exile. In deckbuilding, aim to stack cheap spells that can be replayed and cards that care about artifacts entering or being sacrificed, since Food can quietly fuel attrition and stabilize races. His Companion clause also makes him an appealing partner commander if your other commander is the Doctor, reinforcing a flexible, value-first game plan rather than an all-in aggression strategy.
