Promise of Loyalty
Oracle Text
Each player puts a vow counter on a creature they control and sacrifices the rest. Each of those creatures can't attack you or planeswalkers you control for as long as it has a vow counter on it.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Promise of Loyalty is a classic white control tool that turns a board stall into a political reset, fitting best in slower control or pillow-fort decks that want to buy time and shape combat. At five mana, it asks you to plan ahead, but the reward is huge: each player keeps only one creature, so token swarms, go-wide aggro, and cluttered midrange boards get sharply trimmed down. The vow counter matters most as a safety valve, letting the surviving creatures live while effectively redirecting their aggression away from you and your planeswalkers. In Commander, this pairs especially well with decks that can break parity—blink, sacrifice, or recursion shells that profit from losing expendable creatures, or planeswalker-heavy lists that need a temporary shield. It also works nicely with cards that reward opponents sacrificing creatures or with effects that make your one surviving threat especially hard to answer.
