Item Description

Loyal Retainers is a small card with a big job: bring a fallen legend home. The three-mana 1/1 Human Advisor can be sacrificed on your own turn, before attackers are declared, to return target legendary creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. One sacrifice can put a seven-drop dragon or a battle-scarred hero right back into play.

The card began life in Portal Three Kingdoms, the 1999 set drawn from Chinese history, and it has been a quiet favorite in legend-heavy decks ever since. Commander players use it to recover a key legendary creature from the 99, and self-mill strategies can stock the graveyard on purpose before the Retainers cash in. Reanimation stapled to a body also means it can be tutored up by creature searches that would never find a sorcery.

This is the Amonkhet Invocations printing, collector number 4, a borderless foil illustrated by Bastien L. Deharme. The Invocations were Masterpiece Series inserts found in Amonkhet and Hour of Devastation boosters, each one dressed in an ornate Egyptian-inspired frame.
