Gaea's Anthem
The plainest possible green anthem, and that plainness is the point. Glorious Anthem had already established the template in white: three mana, a static lord effect, no body to protect and no condition to satisfy. This card lifts that effect into the color that fills the board widest, where the +1/+1 isn't multiplying a couple of fliers but every token, every mana dork, every one-drop a go-wide deck dumps onto the table. The exercise is a deliberate one: take a known white effect and ask what it costs in green, where the texture of the boards it improves is fundamentally different. As a static enchantment it sidesteps the fragility of a creature lord; there's no body for an opponent to point removal at, so the buff stays online until the enchantment itself is answered, which most aggressive green decks aren't built to defend but also rarely need to. The effect stacks cleanly with itself and with other anthems, scaling linearly with each copy, which is exactly the behavior a token-flood strategy wants from its top end. Nothing here is clever, and the absence of cleverness is what makes it durable: a green deck that wants its whole team bigger has been reaching for some version of this since the lord effect first existed, and this is the version with no strings attached.
