Official rulings

  1. If you have multiple commanders, you need to control only one for the lieutenant effect to happen. (2018-07-13)
  2. The lieutenant effect happens only once each combat, even if you somehow control multiple commanders (perhaps because you have two commanders with a partner ability from the Battlebond™ set). (2018-07-13)
  3. If you don't control your commander as the lieutenant ability resolves, you won't get its effect. (2018-07-13)
