Angelic Field Marshal

Creature — Angel2 generic manaWhite manaWhite mana

Lieutenant, the ability word built to reward keeping your commander on the battlefield, mostly manifested as raw stat gains; this one spends half its payload on a table-wide rules change instead. With your general in play, a 3/3 flier becomes a 5/5 and every creature you control gains vigilance. That vigilance grant is the part worth weighing: it does not make your attackers bigger so much as remove the cost of attacking, letting an aggressive board double as a defensive one in the same turn. You swing with everything and still hold up blockers. The catch is the condition itself. Strip away your commander (chump it into a wrath, bounce it, exile it) and the +2/+2 drops off and the vigilance evaporates across the whole board at once, though the flier keeps its evasion and reverts to a 3/3 in the air. Where a static anthem hands out its bonus unconditionally, the buff and the keyword simply existing as long as the enchantment does, this one hangs its entire effect on the "as long as you control your commander" clause: it runs loud while the condition holds and switches off in full the moment your opponents find a way to separate you from your general. It rewards a deckbuilder who keeps a general reliably in play and does nothing for one whose commander spends the game in the command zone.
