Dr. Spacetime is a galacticsuper-rarezombiecard in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the Sneaky class. He costs 2 to play and has 1/5. He does not have any traits, and his ability reduces the cost of all Conjured zombie cards by 1 and Conjures a random zombie card from the Galactic Gardens set every time he does damage to the plant hero. This ability stacks with each Dr. Spacetime on the field and persists until all Dr. Spacetimes are removed from the field. His closest plant counterpart is Captain Cucumber.
He is based on The Doctor, the title character of the British science-fiction series Doctor Who.
The wardrobe he is in is a reference to The Doctor's TARDIS (when disguised as a dresser
by the chameleon circuit), while his screwdriver is a reference to The Doctor's sonic screwdriver.
The scarf hanging on the left (right from the player's view) wardrobe door may be a reference to the Fourth Doctor from the aforementioned series, who wears a scarf. He also wears a bow tie, a staple of the Second and Eleventh Doctors' respective outfits.
Him wearing glasses in his card image may be a reference to the Tenth Doctor who wore such item in episodes such as "Tooth and Claw."

Strategies
With
His ability is very strong, being able to conjure cards and make conjured cards cheaper. Getting Spacetime to hit the opponent is very good, as it can easily give you cheap options that may be helpful later on. His high health also makes him very hard to kill.
Here is a list of all the cards that Dr. Spacetime can Conjure, as well as the cost that will appear when they are Conjured.
It is helpful to use moving cards such as Smoke Bomb to make him hit the opponent. You could also use cards to move plants out of the way like Terrify. He obviously works well with conjuring cards, such as Buried Treasure or Raiding Raptor, due to his ability to make conjured cards cheaper. Dr. Spacetime also synergizes very well with Laser Base Alpha because it allows him to hit the plant hero directly as well as complementing his low strength by giving him the deadly trait to clear out all plants in his lane.
Every Sneaky hero has their own synergies with Dr. Spacetime:
Super Brainz and Huge-Gigantacus can use bonus attack cards such as Lurch for Lunch or Quarterly Bonus to get a guaranteed hit against the plant hero to conjure more cards, the latter can also use his signature power Carried Away to move him onto open lanes. They are also to use cards that can conjure such as Thinking Cap. In addition, this card goes well with Huge-Gigantacus superpowers since they conjure cards. They can also utilize Teleport or Teleportation Zombie to play him in open lanes during the tricks phase, allowing him to hit the plant hero safely
Brain Freeze has access to conjure cards such as Cheese Cutter and Cyborg Zombie. He can also clear out the lane respective for Dr. Spacetime using Area 22. Brain Freeze can also benefit from Dr. Spacetime's high health if he places him in the Hunting Grounds making his stats very high, or he can use him as a target for Maniacal Laugh.
Avoid letting him damage you, as your opponent will conjure cards if that happens.
In order to most effectively stop him from conjuring cards, you can either use any cards that reduce strength, or cards with the armoured trait, since his health is too high to be easily countered on turn 2. For the former, cards like Kernel-Pult or Weed Whack can do the trick. For the latter, Jugger-Nut is your best option due to him costing the same as Dr. Spacetime.
Soul Patch can also prevent your hero from getting hurt, and won't take damage assuming if Dr. Spacetime's stats remain as 1/5, as Soul Patch has the armoured trait. He can also be placed in the same lane Dr. Spacetime is placed in, in order to take him down in one hit if his health isn't boosted.
If you're a Kabloom hero, Sizzle can easily destroy Dr. Spacetime, for 3 sun.
