Promise of Loyalty: Seal the Pact
Promise of Loyalty rewards careful timing and political play in multiplayer pods. Cast for {4}{W}, this sorcery places a vow counter on one creature each player controls while forcing them to sacrifice their remaining creatures. The trapped creatures remain on the battlefield but are functionally neutralized as attackers against you and your planeswalkers while they carry a vow counter.
Use this card to reshape combat math and secure your board without wholesale removal. In Commander games where trades and alliances shift, Promise of Loyalty can protect your life total and commanders while leaving threats in place as deterrents. The card reads like a compact piece of estate law from Karlov Manor and fits cleanly into token decks, pillowfort builds, and any white strategy that prefers control through constraint rather than outright destruction.
