Glorious Anthem card art
Glorious Anthem does exactly one thing — it makes every creature you control bigger — and at three mana it's efficient enough to matter on curve. Token strategies and go-wide commanders like Jasmine Boreal of the Seven run it without hesitation; the only commanders who skip it are those, like Colfenor, the Last Yew, who care about individual creatures rather than a wide board.

Jasmine Boreal of the Seven

Jasmine Boreal of the Seven

31.2% of decks · synergy 0.29

Jasmine Boreal of the Seven builds a board of vanilla creatures by design, so Glorious Anthem isn't just a pump effect — it's one of the primary ways the deck closes games, turning a swarm of unimpressive bodies into a lethal alpha strike.

02
Kudo, King Among Bears

Kudo, King Among Bears

11.0% of decks · synergy 0.09

Kudo, King Among Bears floods the board with Bear tokens and +1/+1 counters already in motion, and Glorious Anthem stacks on top of that baseline, pushing every creature past the damage thresholds that would otherwise let opponents trade profitably.

In Commander, Glorious Anthem earns its slot in go-wide token builds where the anthem effect scales across a dozen or more creatures, but it's a blank in control or combo shells that don't care about combat. In competitive 60-card formats like Modern and Legacy, Glorious Anthem has largely been outpaced by cheaper or more flexible lords — most tribal and token decks that once ran it have moved on to options that cost less or do more. Pioneer is the most hospitable 60-card home, where the card-pool constraints make a clean three-mana anthem more competitive. In Oathbreaker, the same Commander logic applies: build around it or leave it out.
