Sylvan Anthem
Green got its lord late, and this one arrived carrying an apology for the years it went without. The straight +1/+1 to green creatures is the standard tribal-lord package, the same shape white and blue and the rest had wielded for a decade, but the second line is the concession that makes a color-based anthem land differently: because "green creature" catches everything you play rather than a single sliver of your board, the scry trigger fires on nearly every deployment, turning a static buff into a repeatable card-selection engine. That is the tension it resolves. A tribe-specific lord asks you to commit to one creature type before it does anything; a color-wide anthem in a mono-green or heavy-green build is on almost from the moment it resolves, and each subsequent creature both grows the team and smooths the next draw. The design trades the raw power of a narrow lord (no keyword grant, no evasion, no tribal payoff) for breadth and consistency, which is exactly the axis green tends to want: flood the board, then dig toward the next threat. It rewards a curve built downward, where cheap creatures keep the scry pinging, rather than a single fatty that gets one +1/+1 and no selection at all.
