Official rulings

Three official rulings apply to The Fifth Doctor, newest first.

  • If an effect instructs you to choose a creature type, you may choose Time Lord.
  • Neither "Time" nor "Lord" are creature types. Some older cards were printed with the subtype "Lord," but all of those cards have updated Oracle card text that removed that type.
  • Unlike other creature types in Magic that are each only one word, the two words "Time Lord" represent a single creature subtype. Time Lord is the only two-word creature type.
