Loyal Apprentice is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card 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.
How it works : Loyal Apprentice
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If you don't control your commander as the lieutenant ability resolves, you won't get its effect.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
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).
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If you have multiple commanders, you need to control only one for the lieutenant effect to happen.
No other card is named in this ruling.
