Valiant Knight

The anthem-plus-overrun shape is a classic tribal payoff template, and this is the Knight-tribe expression of it: a static buff that turns every other Knight a notch larger, plus an activated kicker that converts a wide board into a lethal alpha strike. The double strike line is the part doing the real work. A board of buffed Knights swinging is fine; the same board with double strike, where each creature's pumped power lands twice, is the kind of math that ends games out of nowhere. The anthem feeds the activation directly: every Knight you add is not just +1/+1 on the ground but another doubled damage source the moment you have the mana open. That coupling is the design idea. The buff makes the team threatening, and the overrun cashes the threat in a single combat step, so the card rewards committing bodies rather than holding back. The cost structure keeps the explosive line from arriving too early: a 3/4 body followed by a five-mana doubler in the same turn wants a board already built and a turn where you can afford to tap out. The payoff lands a beat later than a cheaper standalone lord does its quieter work, which is the trade for stapling an army-wide finisher onto an otherwise ordinary tribal anchor.
