Undead Ally at Your Command
Meet the Loyal Subordinate, a cunning Zombie that brings a unique twist to your battle strategy. With a mana cost of just {2}{B}, this 3/1 creature comes with Menace, making it a challenge for your opponents to block effectively unless they commit multiple creatures. But what truly sets this ghastly minion apart is its Lieutenant ability. At the beginning of combat on your turn, if you control your commander, each opponent loses 1 life. This subtle yet potent life drain can help tip the scales in your favor, especially when paired with other synergistic cards like Vampire Nighthawk or Blight Sickle for added menace and resilience.

With its ability to chip away at life totals while presenting a formidable threat, the Loyal Subordinate is an uncommon treasure in the Commander Masters set that no player should overlook.
