Loyal Apprentice
Oracle Text
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.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Loyal Apprentice reads like a compact red aggro-utility piece: a 1R 2/1 with haste that produces a hasty 1/1 flying Thopter each combat if your commander is under your control. Thematically it’s the quick-minded artificer sending a clockwork scout into every skirmish; mechanically it best supports tempo/aggro strategies that want to close the game with incremental damage and artifact synergies. It’s especially potent in commander decks that keep a permanent commander on board—protect that commander and the Apprentice rewards you every combat. Deckbuilding tip: combine with Impact Tremors or Purphoros to turn each Thopter into extra damage, or with sacrifice outlets like Goblin Bombardment and Skullclamp for card draw and combo potential; token-doublers or other artifact payoffs also multiply the value. Because it’s fragile, avoid blocking it needlessly; treat it as a tempo piece and an enabler for ETB triggers, not a long-term blocker.
