Emcee
Creature — Human Rogue
Whenever another creature enters the battlefield, you may stand up and say in a deep, booming voice, "Presenting . . . " and that creature's name. If you do, put a +1/+1 counter on that creature.

If you control more than one Emcee, each ability triggers separately. You have to announce the creature’s entrance each time. Okay, you can just stay standing if you want.

Emcee’s ability will trigger whenever a creature enters the battlefield under an opponent’s control. You choose whether you announce its arrival or not.

You may add in nicknames for the creatures you announce, but you must also get the creature’s actual name in there to count. For example, “Gary, the Gray Merchant of Asphodel” is fine, but simply “Gary” wouldn’t work.

If you are unable (not just unwilling) to use a deep, booming voice, you are free to make accommodations in the spirit of Emcee. Sign overly dramatically, for example.
