The War Doctor

Legendary Creature — Time Lord Doctor3/5$0.31

Whenever one or more other permanents phase out and whenever one or more other cards are put into exile from anywhere, put a time counter on The War Doctor. Whenever The War Doctor attacks, it deals damage equal to the number of time counters on it to any target. If a creature dealt damage this way would die this turn, exile it instead.

    How it works

    Before you start

    The War Doctor does not have summoning sickness.

    Steps

    Cast Dance with Calamity by paying {7}{R}, exiling a number of cards from your library equal to the life total of an opponent. The War Doctor's first ability triggers once for each card exiled, putting that many time counters on The War Doctor. Declare The War Doctor as an attacker. When The War Doctor attacks, its last ability triggers, dealing damage to an opponent equal to the number of time counters on The War Doctor.
