Seize the Moment with Price of Loyalty
Price of Loyalty offers a tactical twist on the classic control spells in Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. This sorcery lets you seize command of an opponent’s creature just long enough to turn the tide of battle. Untapping the creature and granting it haste means you can unleash an unexpected attack or block with renewed vigor during the same turn. The synergy with Treasure tokens is notable here—if you pay using mana from a Treasure, the stolen creature gains an extra punch of +2 power. It’s a clever nod to the fleeting nature of loyalty in the Forgotten Realms, where allegiances are often bought and sold in the heat of conflict.
From a deck-building perspective, Price of Loyalty complements red’s aggressive strategies and artifact synergies, especially in Treasure-themed builds. It can swing combat decisively when paired with cards that generate Treasure tokens or grant additional haste effects. Whether you’re disrupting a crucial blocker or snatching a threat to clear your path, this sorcery embodies the cost and reward dynamic that defines many memorable moments in Magic’s lore and gameplay.
