Loyal Subordinate
Oracle Text
Menace (This creature can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.)
Lieutenant — At the beginning of combat on your turn, if you control your commander, each opponent loses 3 life.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Loyal Subordinate is a compact Zombie that rewards a commander-centered game plan, especially in black decks leaning into tempo and aggressive aristocrats-style pressure. A 3/1 for three mana already threatens solid early damage, and menace makes it awkward to block without committing multiple creatures, so it slips through in the midgame while forcing inefficient defenses. The lieutenant trigger is the real payoff: if your commander is on the field, each opponent loses 3 life at the beginning of combat, turning every attack step into a steady drain that scales well in multiplayer. In Commander, this pairs nicely with commanders that are easy to keep in play and decks that can protect or recast them, such as sacrifice, recursion, or token shells. It also works well with anthem effects, pump spells, or other evasive threats to maximize combat pressure while your life-drain quietly chips away at the table.
