Character Background
The Fugitive Doctor reads like a midrange/value engine with a tempo edge: the enter-the-battlefield investigate fits her investigative theme, while the attack-triggered Clue sacrifice that grants targeted flashback neatly represents revisiting past actions. Practically, she shines in decks that stock the graveyard with cheap, high-impact instants and sorceries and want repeatable interaction—think recurring removal, combat tricks, or one-shot card advantage. Build around self-mill and looting (e.g., Faithless Looting, Tormenting Voice) to ensure a supply of targets, and include low-cost spells like Lightning Bolt or Abrade to get immediate, game-turning reuse when she attacks. If you can add other investigate or Clue producers you smooth the trigger economy, but even a single Clue per attack is brutal when paired with graveyard tutors or card-draw recursion. Use her as an aggressive midrange clock (4/4 body) that converts combat into card advantage, turning damage into another answer on demand and enabling resilient, tempo-focused value decks.
