Lieutenants of the Guard
Oracle Text
Council's dilemma — When this creature enters, starting with you, each player votes for strength or numbers. Put a +1/+1 counter on this creature for each strength vote and create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token for each numbers vote.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Lieutenants of the Guard is a straightforward but flexible white value creature that best supports midrange, tokens, and control shells looking to stabilize the board while advancing their own presence. At five mana, a 2/2 is unimpressive on rate, but the council vote makes every table dynamic: “strength” turns it into a threatening beater, while “numbers” gives you immediate board material. In multiplayer especially, opponents often split votes, which means you usually get some combination of a larger body and extra Soldiers, making it awkward to answer cleanly. It pairs well with anthem effects like Honor of the Pure or Courage in Crisis-style counter support, and token payoffs such as Cathars’ Crusade, Skullclamp, or any sacrifice engine that converts bodies into cards or damage. In lore terms, it feels like a disciplined command post that can either call for reinforcements or stand firm personally, and that duality is exactly what makes it a solid, resilient piece of white board development.
