The Master, Formed Anew is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

Official card text
Body Thief — When you cast this spell, you may exile a creature you control and put a takeover counter on it. You may have The Master enter as a copy of a creature card in exile with a takeover counter on it.
How it works : The Master, Formed Anew
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
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.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
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.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If an effect instructs you to choose a creature type, you may choose Time Lord.
No other card is named in this ruling.
