Character Background
Rose Tyler is a compact, thematic commander that rewards a suspend/time-counter strategy: she starts as a 2/2 for {1}{W} and grows by +1/+1 per time counter she has, while Bad Wolf turns every attack into more counters equal to suspended cards you own and other permanents with time counters. That makes her a tempo/value threat—attack to snowball into a huge threat—while also enabling combo finishes if you can mass-proliferate or repeatedly grant counters. Build around suspended mana or draw engines (Ancestral Vision, Lotus Bloom) and reliable proliferate effects (Inexorable Tide, Thrummingbird, Contagion Engine) so each swing multiplies growth; add haste/evasion package (Swiftfoot Boots, evasive creatures) to convert counters into damage. Consider token or artifact permanents that can hold time counters to widen Bad Wolf’s trigger, and include ways to protect or blink Rose so she can attack repeatedly. With the Doctor as your other commander you get a two-heads approach—use Rose to push board presence and the Doctor to control tempo and recursion.
