Collective Blessing

A static team-wide pump effect priced at the top of the curve, this sits in the lineage that runs from Glorious Anthem through Beastmaster Ascension: enchantments that ask you to commit a board first and reap the payoff second. The +3/+3 it grants is enormous, triple the swing of the white anthems that came before, but the six mana and the double-green-plus-white cost are the whole bargain. By the time you can cast it, an aggressive Selesnya board is already deep into the game, and the question is whether a single anthem effect at that mana value can ever be the right use of a turn over simply adding another body. Where the smaller anthems were cheap enough to deploy early and let a flood of tokens grow around them, this one demands the tokens already exist, then asks you to skip a turn of development to supersize them all at once. That tension, a colossal effect gated behind a mana cost that arrives after the swarm is already built, is what has always made it a build-around rather than a staple: the effect rewards going wide harder than anything in its color pair, but the cost insists you have already gone wide before it does anything at all.
