Character Background
The Night of the Doctor is a saga that reads like a midnight intervention: first, it scorches the board by destroying all creatures, sweeping away blockers, threats, and most incidental value, then—after the second chapter—it resurrects a legendary from your graveyard and “blesses” it with first strike, vigilance, or lifelink. In practice, this is a control-leaning value engine that stabilizes through a full reset and then immediately converts the clean battlefield into a closed loop of advantage. To maximize it, build your deck around legendary recursion targets—think of a commander-like win condition or a recurring threat that you can reliably put into your graveyard using sacrifice outlets, discard, or self-mill—so Chapter II becomes a real clock rather than a gamble. Because Chapter I wipes everything, prioritize legends that return and immediately impact combat, and keep protection or counterspells ready for when the table tries to answer the resurrected centerpiece.
