About Lieutenants of the Guard

Lieutenants of the Guard, Creature — human soldier, designed by Johannes Voss first released in Aug, 2016 in the set Conspiracy: Take the Crown and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.24.

Lieutenants of the Guard would be a great addition to a white weenie or token-based deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it provides flexibility based on the voting mechanic. However, in a competitive setting, cards like Hero of Bladehold or Captain of the Watch might offer more consistent value for their mana cost. Lieutenants of the Guard could still see play in casual or themed decks looking to utilize its unique Council's dilemma ability for fun and unpredictable gameplay.

Rules

08/23/16

Because the votes are made in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.

08/23/16

If a creature with an enters-the-battlefield council’s dilemma ability leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, players can still vote for any option that would put +1/+1 counters on that creature, even though—or perhaps especially because—those votes won’t generate an effect.

08/23/16

Players can’t do anything between voting and finishing the resolution of the spell or ability that included the vote.

08/23/16

Unlike the will of the council cards from the original Conspiracy set, where a majority of votes determined what happened, each vote made for a council’s dilemma card adds to the ultimate effect.
