I've been working on my Rafiq of the many deck and was looking at all the different creature pumping spells. While going through Gatherer and making a list of the good ones, I figured i'd post it here too. If I miss any cool ones, let me know.
Sylvan Might . Though it's pretty weak compared to the rest, it does have a flashback so you can use it more than once. And the trample is pretty nice.
Yes, but Strata Scythe costs 6 before you gain any benefit, and doesn't benefit from duals/shocks with the Forest subtype.
Clearly you are better than me at this game. I shall eat humple pie for even daring to challenge your authority in what cards can be posted in this thread.

Maybe if you'd drop the condescension for a moment, you'd realize that OP is looking for pump spells. The whole point of pump spells is to use them as combat tricks. Can't really do that with Strata Sycthe. MAYBEKusari-Gama, but even that's pushing it.
I appreciate that it may take you a while to come down, being as the horse you've found yourself on is particularly high.
Hatred is by far my favorite pump spell for EDH. It's never a dead card, it works for your own creatures, other peoples, and ofc generals. It's tricky and political and flavorful and just plain awesome. Nice that you included it.
To that effect, there's also Riding the Dilu Horse, which is a sorcery that grants a permanent +2/+2 and horsemanship. Great for Rafiq. Not cheap to buy, though.

Which one is that?
Blood Frenzy is a decent power boost for the cost and also functions as removal.
Reckless Charge can add up to a lot of damage over two castings.
Assault Strobe, Double Cleave, Psychotic Fury, and Savage Beating can deal a lot of damage, especially the last one.
Righteousness and Hold the Line are good if you can Fling the creature or something. Brion Stoutarm certainly likes them.
Elspeth, Knight-Errant and Ajani, Caller of the Pride give nice boosts.
Cycling Decree of Savagery at instant speed is alright sometimes.

I would hazard a guess and say Kessig Wolf Run.

So is Strata Scythe.
Howl from Beyond is good with Coffers/Urborg and stuff.

Giant Growth, the hello world of mtg.
Glissa, the Traitor, Ulasht, the Hate Seed, The Mimeoplasm
I'm using Giant Growth as a base, and anything better than it would be on my list.

I like the flavor of Untamed Might too. Epic punch is epic.
And Rickston is right. Double Cleave is not a pump, it's a buff.
Seems like the criteria here is sorcery, instant, land, or pw. I'm not seeing any auras, artifacts or creatures. Correct?

Given the edit I'm guessing the list was short Might of Oaks (in Rafiq). If not I'm unsure what he is suggesting.
