About Tyrant's Familiar

Tyrant's Familiar, Creature — dragon, designed by Todd Lockwood first released in Nov, 2014 in the set Commander 2014 and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 199.47.

A deck that focuses on aggressive strategies and utilizes a commander consistently would benefit from including Tyrant's Familiar, as it provides a powerful and evasive threat with a potent ability to remove opposing creatures. However, in competitive Magic: the Gathering formats, there are often more efficient options available, such as Inferno Titan or Thundermaw Hellkite, which offer similar effects at a lower mana cost, making Tyrant's Familiar less likely to see play in highly optimized decks.

If a triggered ability granted by a lieutenant ability triggers, and in response to that trigger you lose control of your commander (causing the lieutenant to lose that ability), that triggered ability will still resolve.

If you gain control of a creature with a lieutenant ability owned by another player, that ability will check to see if you control your commander and will apply if you do. It won’t check whether its owner controls their commander.
