Title: Looking for anthem effects in blue aoe colorless
Post by: Varatius on January 30, 2021, 03:28:30 pm
I'm currently working on a fun cosima,  god of the voyage deck that plans to animate my lands with realmwright (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Realmwright) and kormus bell (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Kormus+Bell).  I have eldrazi monument (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Eldrazi+Monument) but I don't know any others that will pump my animated lands.

Not sure if you want coat of arms (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Coat+of+Arms) but it is a suggestion. I came up with on skryfall with Nightmare Lash (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Nightmare+Lash), Stoneforge Masterwork (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Stoneforge+Masterwork), Lashwrithe (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Lashwrithe), Sigil Of Valor (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Sigil+of+Valor), and Manaforce Mace (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Manaforce+Mace) for now.. doing some more searching

Firstoff, I assume you are building an commander deck and thus are bound to being mono U in your list? If so, anthems in mono U is quite complicated. Tbh I can't think of anyone that's not colorless.

Stuff that wasn't mentioned by robort:

- Akroma's Memorial (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Akroma%27s+Memorial)
- The Immortal Sun (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=The+Immortal+Sun)
- Vanquisher's Banner (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Vanquisher%27s+Banner)
- War Horn (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=War+Horn)
- Caged Sun (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Caged+Sun)
- Heraldic Banner (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Heraldic+Banner)
- Halimar Tidecaller (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Halimar+Tidecaller)

If you can provide flying consistently:
- Favorable Winds (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Favorable+Winds)
- Gravitational Shift (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Gravitational+Shift)

If otherwise, black has some good stuff to over like, Bad Moon (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Bad+Moon).
________

Edit:
Your lands won't get any creature-type, so some of the cards won't work for them (Coat of Arms (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Coat+of+Arms) and Vanquisher's Banner (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Vanquisher%27s+Banner))

Mono Blue does make things more difficult. While lands are colorless, most of the effects that animate them add a color so things like Forsaken Monument (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Forsaken+Monument) won't work. I would suggest more jank: Wind Zendikon (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Wind+Zendikon), Genju of the Falls (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Genju+of+the+Falls), Cyclone Sire (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Cyclone+Sire), Darksteel Citadel (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Darksteel+Citadel)/Seat of the Synod (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Seat+of+the+Synod) + something that animates artifacts. Then you can use blue anthems like Favorable Winds (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Favorable+Winds) or Soulblade Djinn (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Soulblade+Djinn).

You could even use the new Orvar, the All-Form (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Orvar%2C+the+All-Form) to make copies of the animated lands or the enchantments.

Sunken City (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Sunken+City) is an anthem for blue but it does require an upkeep cost

That won't work. Kormus Bell (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=de&card=Kormus+Bell) makes the land creatures become black.

Vibrating Sphere (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Vibrating+Sphere) would be super risky, but could work.

You may want to throw in an Arcane Adaptation (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Arcane+Adaptation) and the many merfolk lords (or Maskwood Nexus (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Maskwood+Nexus) and all the blue lords), or Mycosynth Lattice (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Mycosynth+Lattice) and the various artifact anthems.
