Oracle Text
Legendary Creature — Time Lord Doctor
When The First Doctor enters, search your library and/or graveyard for a card named TARDIS, reveal it, and put it into your hand. If you search your library this way, shuffle.

Whenever you cast a spell with cascade, put a +1/+1 counter on target artifact or creature.

Legacy Vintage Commander

Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 7 versions.

Official Judge Precedents

4 Precedents

You choose the target for The First Doctor's last ability before revealing any cards for cascade.

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.
