Anthem of Champions pumps your entire attacking team based on how many creatures you control — the more bodies on board, the bigger the swing, and it costs nothing beyond the enchantment slot. In Jasmine Boreal of the Seven decks that flood the board with vanilla creatures, this is a genuine finisher disguised as a support piece.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Jasmine Boreal of the Seven
Jasmine Boreal of the Seven tutors up vanilla creatures and fills the board fast, so Anthem of Champions turns a wide attack into a lethal one — the enchantment scales directly off the density that Jasmine incentivizes.
Kudo, King Among Bears
Kudo, King Among Bears builds around pumping creatures with counters and going wide, and Anthem of Champions adds a combat-step multiplier on top of whatever static boosts Kudo has already stacked.
Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar
Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar rewards attacking with large creatures and draws cards off combat damage, so Anthem of Champions helps clear blockers and makes each swinger hit hard enough to connect.
Sovereign Okinec Ahau
Sovereign Okinec Ahau cares about creatures with the greatest power attacking, and Anthem of Champions inflates those numbers before damage is assigned — synergy is direct and immediate.

Anthem of Champions is a Commander card through and through: its bonus scales off creature count, and nowhere does that count get higher than a 100-card multiplayer game deep into turn six. In 60-card formats like Modern and Pioneer, the enchantment is too slow and too conditional — a board full of attackers rarely survives to use it, and there are cheaper ways to pump a team. Standard legality is technically there, but the same problem applies; aggressive decks want their anthem on turn two, not as a late-game enchantment. Legacy and Vintage have access to the card but have no interest in it. This is one to sleeve exclusively in Commander.
