A question about the doctor who UB, why isn't the time lord creature type hyphenated like Assembly-Worker?

When working with an existing property you respect how the property does things. Time Lord isn’t hyphenated.

Any word yet on what will happen to rule 205.3b?

I think we made one special exception for Time Lord. The current plan is to keep to the single creature type rule.

One more "Time Lord" question! In Storm scale, what are the chances of using two-word creature types to signify flavor in a more targeted manner? (Say, an effect that affects a "Rabbit Warrior", not Rabbit OR Warrior, but specifically a Rabbit that is a Warrior)

The two word solution was a special use case to handle a very particular problem. We are not currently planning on doing other two word creature types.

How many questions about Time Lord being a two word creature type did you expect and do you think you’ll ever stop getting questions about it?

I did not expect this many originally, but now I do. : )

I keep thinking that the two word situation of the "Time Lord" creature type could have been solved by referring to them as "Gallifreyan."Gallifrey is/was the Doctor and Master's home planet, and not everyone from that world was a Time Lord or Lady.I know it's far too late to change it, but that's what I probably would have done.That being said, I just did a quick search, and it seems that canon for Doctor Who was a bit inconsistent from time to time, as it both said that "not every Gallifreyan is a Time Lord" and, numerous times, that the species name was "Time Lord."

As with any Universes Beyond product, we work with the licensee who is the expert on the property to make sure we’re using the correct terminology.

The two word creature type discussion of time lord makes me think of hazezon tamar. The card makes "sand warriors" and exiles all "sand warriors" when it leaves. It does this by exiling all creatures with the type "sand" and "warrior" leading to some unintuitive rulings, like it will exile all creatures with all creature types (or exile a players board with Shields of Velis Vel). In my mind the card is clearly meant to exile the tokens it made. I get that magic has a bunch of weird rules interactions but this seems like something that can be "fixed" easily. I'm not saying it should be changed but what is your opinion? Do you like it the way it is now or would you go back and make it so it exiles only the tokens he makes?

The two word technology was created to solve a specific issue in Doctor Who. We’re not using it to redo cards from the past. It gets confusing quickly if used too often.

If I wanted to use Cavern of Souls to make my Time Lords uncounterable, would I choose "Time", or "Time Lord"?

Time Lord.

Still can't believe y'all made "Time" a creature type omg

Technically, Time Lord is a two-word creature type.

Re: Scientists Is Innistrad considered too high fantasy for these cases? Or do you mean you're using it in more strictly no magic settings like in Universes Beyond? I figure that Innistrad would be a good place for a lot of errata if they were to happen as there are quite a bit of blue "wizards" that could be a flavor hit under Scientist instead. But I can also understand if Scientist may be more like Time Lord were it's saved for specific instances in no magic settings.

Scientist will be used in environments where the characters would be referred to as scientists.

So far all the universes beyond cards brought onto The List have been normal magic creature types. But is there a plan to change them should they not be, like necron or time lord?

We will make a parallel creature type (meaning they’ll be treated the same by the rules) if need be.
