Team anthem
Anthems only pump creatures you control — your teammate's board is untouched, so they're worse than they look.

Ratings start at a neutral 50 and are adjusted by rules derived from 2HG's structure — shared 60 life, shared turns, two opponents. They'll be recalibrated against real play rates once teams start submitting decklists.

Oracle text

+1: Until end of turn, Gideon becomes a 5/5 Human Soldier Ally creature with indestructible that's still a planeswalker. Prevent all damage that would be dealt to him this turn. 0: Create a 2/2 white Knight Ally creature token. −4: You get an emblem with "Creatures you control get +1/+1."
