The Fourteenth Doctor

Legendary Creature — Time Lord Doctor · {R/G}{W}{U} · Green/Red/Blue/White commander

When you cast this spell, reveal the top fourteen cards of your library. Put all Doctor cards revealed this way into your graveyard and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. You may have The Fourteenth Doctor enter as a copy of a Doctor card in your graveyard that was put there from your library this turn. If you do, it gains haste until end of turn.
