Official Rulings (4)
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.
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.
If an effect instructs you to choose a creature type, you may choose Time Lord.
You choose the target for The First Doctor's last ability before revealing any cards for cascade.
