Boartusk Liege

Creature — Goblin Knight1 generic manaRed or Green manaRed or Green manaRed or Green mana

Two static anthems that can overlap: a lord that grants +1/+1 to other red creatures and another +1/+1 to other green creatures. Drop it onto a mono-red board and only the red clause does anything; the card settles for being a 3/4 trampler that lifts the team. Do the same in mono-green and the green clause carries the load. But a Gruul board fielding both colors gets both anthems applying across the whole battlefield, and any gold creature that is itself red and green collects +2/+2 from this single source. That split answered a real question: how can a lord support two colors without committing it to either? The hybrid cost (with a 1 generic mana generic on top, marking it as a genuine four-drop rather than a triple-hybrid three-drop) lets it live wherever you put it, and the divided anthems pay you for building across the color seam instead of within one. Trample on its own body matters too: a 3/4 that pushes through chump blockers can turn a wide swarm into lethal once the rest of the curve lands. With no haste, the turn it resolves it buffs and blocks rather than swings, but the pressure it puts on a stalled board is genuine. Most anthems sit back and let the team do the work; this one threatens to finish the job itself.
