I'm trying to support a Bolster archetype and I'm having trouble deciding which cards that give all creatures +1/+1 counters are better. Together Forever also seems appealing but I'm not sure if it would be a better include.
I Like the flexibility and immediate reward of Collective Effort the most. I think Meadowboon is a significant amount worse than the other options suggested, unless you are also supporting flicker. I think there are certainly stronger cards than Meadowboon and Together Forever, like Anafensa KTS, Ajani Goldmane, and Venerated Loxodon for example.
Unbreakable Formation by far. It’s splashable, kt does the most things weenie decks care about, and Vigilance + Indestructible crushes race situations.
Yeah, I like the instant speed with upside. You can attack in and get the boost by addendum, or protect against a board wipe. It is also easily splash-able.
My guess is both cards are similar in power level in higher powered formats and as to what's better depends on your cube.
That being said, unbreakable formation has far exceeded collective effort's constructed results, but that again, could be the result of the supporting cards at the time.
Whenever something is close via theory crafting, I'd definitely err on the side of the card that puts up constructed results and the less restrictive mana cost. So I'd vote for unbreakable formation. It is so devastating against decks running creatures.
