Exhilarating Elocution

Sorcery2 generic manaWhite manaBlack mana

The four-mana team pump that also names a single beneficiary is a familiar shape (Trumpet Blast with a captain, essentially), but the split of counters here is what determines who reads it. Two +1/+1 counters go on one creature permanently; everyone else gets a swing-turn bump that evaporates at cleanup. The temporary boost is the finisher, the priced-in reason to cast it on the alpha strike, while the two counters are the residue you keep, a slightly bigger threat that persists past the turn. That division of labor points the card squarely at wide creature decks that want to convert a full board into lethal now and still have a slightly bigger threat later. It is a payoff card rather than an engine: it does nothing to develop a board and everything to cash one in, so its value scales directly with how many bodies are already down when it resolves. The single-target counter clause is the design's small act of memory, a way to make the card not entirely dead when the swing fizzles, but nobody is casting this for two counters alone. It lives or dies on the go-wide anthem, and it was built for exactly that job.
