The fate counters are awkward in that they pretty much obstruct you from using +1/+1 counters since they would instantly get mixed up. Currently Lambslayer Hydra uses +1/+1 counters btw.

Anoint has couple of things that bug me about it. It reminds me much of renown which seems just generally better and cleaner. Can you have multiple "champions" or just one at a time? The use of term "champion" can get confusing with the existence of "champion a creature" in which it's used as a verb if I understand it correctly.

To address your points:

  • I'm well aware of the issues connected to fate counters (I wrote an entire essay on this very issue). Small use of +1/+1 on rares, however, is acceptable. There were three in Rise of the Eldrazis, the last "nonstat counter" set.
  • Renown is a reward for dealing damage. Anoint is a card that forces combat (and everyone who's seen it has compared it to exalted instead).
  • Since Anoint requires attacking alone (it's an until-end-of-turn effect), the only way you can have multple champios if with cards that give multiple combat phases or stealing your opponent's champion after making your own.
