Pledge of Loyalty sticks to a creature and makes it indestructible as long as it shares at least one color with every permanent on the board — a protection effect that scales with how many colors your opponents are playing. At one white mana, the cost is trivial; the catch is that a mono-colored opponent can strip it immediately, so it lives or dies by your table's threat diversity.

Pledge of Loyalty is a Commander card through and through — the color-sharing condition is almost always live at a four-player table running two or three multicolor decks, and indestructible is one of the strongest single-word keywords you can staple to a commander for one mana. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but functionally irrelevant: those formats kill on turn one or two, protection auras don't make the cut, and the condition is fragile against mono-color strategies. Oathbreaker shares enough of Commander's multicolor texture that the card functions similarly there, though the smaller deck size and faster games reduce the window to get value from a long-lived aura.

Price Context
Current price
$0.15 bulk tier
At $0.15, Pledge of Loyalty is deep bulk — grab a copy out of any dollar box without a second thought. Demand is niche enough that it won't climb, but at this price point you're not buying it for value; you're buying it because it does something unique for essentially nothing.
