No, this isn't a vorthos deck on the history of graveyards, sadly.

But, this is an Azorius deck focusing on the graveyard and Historic (mainly sagas) permanents!

I do love me graveyard decks, and at this point I want to create one for every color. And Dr. Who bestowed upon me a graveyard deck that sounds interesting in Azorius colors (there might be other Azorious Graveyard commanders, but I haven't seen it, so its new to me!)

A few things to note here:

1. The Eighth Doctor says "If this permanent would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else". From what I have read, if you have an effect that exiles it and brings it back, it will still bring it back; additionally, since it is a new instance of that card, that exile clause shouldn't be part of the card anymore. That is why I have a couple of flickers. And that is also why cards like Elesh Norn   and Michiko's Reign of Truth   are pretty good; even if they were brought back via The Eight Doctor's effect, they won't be gone forever! (If this is incorrect, let me know though, so I can be semi-sad).

2. I chose Ian Chesterton because I figure this would allow you to really cash in on the low-costing sagas like History of Benalia and The Birth of Meletis more. You could easily switch it out with Barbara Wright (who is already in the deck, as part of the 98).

3. The main conditions are: make a lot of tokens through sagas/enchantments, turn your enchantments into creatures through stuff like Starfield of Nyx, and value (does value kill? Probably..)
