Loyal Retainers

Description

This card functions as a Human Advisor creature with a mana cost of two white mana and one generic mana, resulting in a mana value of three. The etched finish provides a distinct tactile texture that collectors appreciate within the Commander Masters subset. Strategically, Loyal Retainers offers a potent interaction with graveyard mechanics. By sacrificing the creature, players can return a target legendary creature card from their graveyard to the battlefield. This activation is restricted to the controller's turn and must be performed before attackers are declared, allowing for precise timing in combat scenarios. The flavor text, "Because sometimes the greatest enemy is paperwork," adds a touch of humor to the card's thematic design. For collectors building a Commander Masters collection, this etched variant stands out due to its mythic rarity and specialized treatment. The card is illustrated by Kieran Yanner, whose artwork complements the set's high-quality aesthetic. Whether used for competitive Commander play or as a centerpiece in a curated display, the Loyal Retainers etched mythic rare represents a significant piece of modern Magic: The Gathering history.
