Echoing Courage
Pump spells almost always buff one creature: Giant Growth and its descendants are single-target tricks, full stop. This one keys off something stranger than board count. It reads the name of its target and pays out across every creature sharing that name, which means its ceiling lives entirely in how much redundancy you've stacked. Point it at a lone bear and it's a slightly overpriced Giant Growth that buffs nobody else. Point it at a board of four identical tokens or a playset of the same beater and a single instant swings eight power across the team. That conditional payoff makes it a token-strategy card wearing the clothes of a generic combat trick: dead weight in a singleton-heavy deck, a blowout in one built around matching bodies. The design wager is that you'll do the work of naming convergence yourself, flooding the board with same-named creatures so the spell rewards you at instant speed during combat or in response to a sweeper. It's a quietly green idea, paying off go-wide creature counts the way the color has always wanted to, but routed through a targeting clause that demands duplication rather than handing out a raw mass-pump like Overrun. The price of that specificity is consistency: the spell asks you to commit to building around it, and most decks never field enough matching names to justify the slot.
