Doctor Who MTG
Custom Cards forum

My buddy and I are trying to design a doctor who mtg set. Designing cards and making new mechanics and flavor and whatnot. And we need your help!
How would you implement something like time travel as a mechanic for the doctor and his companions? Also how would you assign the colors?
And if you have ideas for specific cards, let me know! All suggestions are appreciated! And don't just think of the obvious ones like Amy, Clara, and the Doctor. Think villains and other heroes too.
Thanks guys and gals
I feel like giving it shroud as a triggered ability would have undesired consequences. Are there any precedents for this to draw from? I'd personally give them indestructible anyway, because flavor.
For giving a permanent suspend, see Jhoira of the Ghitu's text. "Put one time counter on the exiled card. If it doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend."
Also, I've always felt like the daleks were more 
artifact creatures.

It is widely acknowledged that Venser, the Sojourner is the 10th Doctor.
This is all I have to contribute to this conversation, other than most spells that deal with time seem to be blue. Time Walk, Time Warp, etc.

I'm actually working on a Doctor Who themed deck using actually existing cards, I'd look into that.

I think you could use Suspend to good effect.
For colors, I think colorless could be a sub-theme for the set. Lots of gadgets to be artifacts, Daleks could be artifact creatures bled into different colors.
