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.

Choose one — • Creatures you control get +2/+0 until end of turn. • Create two 1/1 red Goblin creature tokens.
