Loyal Apprentice Rules Text & Legality

Loyal Apprentice

Haste

Lieutenant — At the beginning of combat on your turn, if you control your commander, create a 1/1 colorless Thopter artifact creature token with flying. That token gains haste until end of turn.

Those with knowledge are wise to listen to those with imagination.

Loyal Apprentice is legal in Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern and Pauper.

Loyal Apprentice Rulings

  • Jul 13, 2018

    If you don't control your commander as the lieutenant ability resolves, you won't get its effect.

  • Jul 13, 2018

    If you have multiple commanders, you need to control only one for the lieutenant effect to happen.

  • Jul 13, 2018

    The lieutenant effect happens only once each combat, even if you somehow control multiple commanders (perhaps because you have two commanders with a partner ability from the Battlebond™ set).
