Orphans of the Wheat

Convoke run backward. Where a creature with convoke spends its tapped board to reduce a cost, this one spends its tapped board to inflate an attacker: every untapped creature you tap on the attack trigger pumps the body by one in each direction. The trick is that it turns standing initiative into damage without asking the rest of your team to swing, which changes how a swarm converts its stats. A go-wide board usually attacks together and watches its small bodies get eaten for free by a couple of large blockers; this asks that board to funnel its power into one carrier that outsizes anything across the table instead. But the funnel is the cost. Tapping five creatures for a huge attacker taps them out of blocking, so the crackback lands into an empty board: the more you commit to the pump, the wider you leave your own life total exposed. Ceiling and risk climb on the same lever, which is what keeps a two-mana pump this large honest. It reads less like an anthem you deploy once and more like one you have to re-earn every combat, weighing this turn's reach against next turn's defense. A modest 2/1 that only becomes a threat by borrowing from everything else you've built.
