Jackal Familiar, Creature — jackal, designed by Alex Horley-Orlandelli first released in Jul, 2009 in the set Magic 2010.
Jackal Familiar can be a valuable addition to a deck that focuses on swarm tactics or token generation, where it can be paired with other creatures to maximize its effectiveness. While its restriction of not being able to attack or block alone can be a drawback, it can still be a useful card in the right strategy. However, there are potentially better cards available depending on the specific deck archetype, such as Goblin Instigator or Mogg War Marshal, which offer similar benefits but with additional advantages like token generation or tribal synergies. Ultimately, whether Jackal Familiar should see play depends on the overall strategy and synergy of the deck it is being considered for.

Once Jackal Familiar has been legally declared as an attacking or blocking creature, how many other creatures it’s attacking or blocking with no longer matters. For example, if Jackal Familiar and Canyon Minotaur both attack, then Canyon Minotaur leaves the battlefield, Jackal Familiar continues to attack even though it’s now attacking alone.

“Can’t attack alone” means Jackal Familiar can’t be declared as an attacker during the declare attackers step unless at least one other creature is also declared as an attacker at that time (either by you or your Two-Headed Giant teammate).
