Renet, Temporal Apprentice puts a free extra turn on the table the moment it resolves — the catch is that the turn goes to an opponent of your choice, making it a political tool rather than a pure acceleration engine. Run it when you can weaponize that gift; skip it when you can't.

Renet, Temporal Apprentice is a Commander card through and through — the politics of handing an extra turn to a specific opponent are meaningful at a four-player table and nearly irrelevant in one-on-one formats. In Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, and Standard, giving any opponent an extra turn is almost always a liability with no compensating upside, so it won't see serious play in those 60-card queues. Oathbreaker shares enough of Commander's multiplayer structure that the political angle occasionally holds, but the smaller starting life totals make gifting a turn riskier. Vintage has better things to do with extra-turn effects.

Price Context
Current price
$0.78 bulk tier
At $0.78, Renet, Temporal Apprentice sits firmly in bulk rare territory, and that price is likely stable given its narrow, multiplayer-specific design. It's an easy pickup if the political angle fits your Commander list — you're not paying a premium for this one.
