Deck tag: Anthems

What are anthems in Magic?

• Glorious Anthem
• Intangible Virtue
• Benalish Marshal

An anthem is an effect that boosts the power and toughness of every creature you control, named after Glorious Anthem. Multiple anthems stack, so a board of small tokens can grow into a serious threat after only two or three pieces. Some anthems are enchantments or artifacts, while others sit on creatures.

Intangible Virtue pumps tokens specifically, making it a natural fit alongside token makers such as Raise the Alarm and Secure the Wastes. Benalish Marshal and Honor of the Pure favor mono-white boards, while Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite gives your creatures +2/+2 while shrinking every opposing creature at the same time.
