Doctor Who: Puny Humans

You should’ve heard how excited I was when I found out a week and a half back that the Marvel Ultimates set has a bunch of “removed from game” card tricks. That was awesome.

So far I have previewed The Doctor and a variety of his companions. This week, I bring to you the last few human characters that don’t have anything particularly special about them. While these characters aren’t exactly your average joe, they don’t constantly travel with The Doctor nor do they have anything that makes them unique besides being human. Except for this first guy. He has a big gun.

I just had to use “idiot” as his version. I was considering “Defender of Earth” but Mickey Smith, Idiot is much more flavorful. Also, errata on this card. He should have range. I could fix it but I’m being lazy right now.

Mickey is likely going to be a TARDIS Crew deck’s primary 3-drop. If you’re running Jackie on 1 and Rose on 2, he’s almost always going to be a 6/5 with range on 3. That alone is good. Then he has a recovery power in the vein of Domino but with evens (chosen because all of Rose’s cards are even cost), the card being removed instead of placed back on top (fits the TARDIS theme), and he can’t ready (balancing concern plus it ties in with Bad Wolf Rose).

But what if you want to run someone else on 2 over Rose, you ask? What if you remove your crucial 4-drop Tenth Doctor, you ask? Call in the reserves!
