Marshal's Anthem — Rally the Fallen
Marshal's Anthem is a utility anthem for token or creature heavy decks that expects to see the graveyard as a second battlefield. With a casting cost of {2}{W}{W} and Multikicker {1}{W} you can scale the reanimation on the stack. The static bonus of creatures you control get +1/+1 helps keep early boards relevant while you pay extra to bring back specific threats from the muck.
In practice this card reads like a midrange anthem that doubles as a graded reanimator. Cast it early for the anthem and add one or more kicks when you have targets waiting. When it enters the battlefield you may return up to X target creature cards from your graveyard to the battlefield where X equals the number of times it was kicked. It fits Commander lists that value incremental advantage and rewards careful sequencing between casting and picks from your graveyard.
