Rulings

  • 2023-10-13

    If an effect instructs you to choose a creature type, you may choose Time Lord.

  • 2023-10-13

    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.

  • 2023-10-13

    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.
