Most anthem-style payoffs in green-white spread their reward across the whole team, so board width becomes redundant past a certain point. This one inverts that math: it concentrates the payoff, handing a single other creature +1/+1 for each creature you control, so a wide board turns one attacker into a lopsided threat instead of an incrementally bigger squad. That is a deliberate decision about where the reward lands. Because the buff wants a creature that can actually convert the swing (trample, evasion, double strike), a flat count of bodies is worthless unless one of them can push through; a middling body with a +5/+5 stapled to it just gets chump-blocked. The Angelo token pulls double duty here: it arrives on entry as a body that immediately widens the count the trigger reads, so the card grows its own future payoff by one the moment it resolves. Go-wide decks usually have to choose between flooding the board and assembling one knockout threat; this pins both roles onto a single 4/4 and gates the payoff behind attacking, meaning the controller has to commit to combat and accept the vulnerability of a tapped-out attack step to get paid. It rewards a board already built rather than one still coming together, which is a cleaner statement of what token-swarm strategies are actually trying to do than a fixed anthem manages.
