This would be so nuts in a deck filled with heroic creatures.

The worst Tempting Offer card printed. No opponent is going to take your offer unless they have a board position that is so powerful you wouldn't want to cast the Tempt in the first place. Secondly, the mana cost is absurd. a Single anthem effect isn't worth 6. Neither is a double, which you aren't ever going to get anyway.

Not sold on that. Why? If no opponent accepts the offer, this card sucks. You had the same effect for yours on a card costing just four mana, and nearly nobody ever played it. And the more powerful the effect would be for you, such as if you got a token army in play, or creatures that make good use of +1/+1 counters like Triskelion, the less likely an opponent is to accept the offer.

Pretty awful. I wouldn't play this in a million years in any deck.

If it cost somewhere around , it'd be acceptable.
RAV004 is right: If you really need extra counters, you'd have a lot more creatures than your opponents, and they'd rather not accept the offer. If they do accept it, it's because they've got a stronger board presence than you.
If you want to improve your creatures with +1/+1 counters, Decree of Savagery is where it's at.
If you're stuck in White, get Mikaeus, the Lunarch. Not exactly as immediate, but definitely does the job more effectively.

@lorendorky- Heroic only triggers when a creature is targeted. This card still sucks.

See Decree of Savagery. The other tempt cards at least give you a somewhat decent effect for the mana if no one else wants in on the deal, but +1/+1 for 6 mana is extremely underwhelming; maybe even so underwhelming that your opponents are just gonna shrug and let you have that +1/+1 for 6 mana. Unless you team up with people in multiplayer to give your creatures +4/+4 in order to kill a common foe, I can't think of a single reason why you would run this over Overrun, especially in a bant-colored deck such as the one this is printed in. If you're getting a lot out of giving your army +1/+1, then you were probably winning anyway, and Overrun would've probably done a better job since it also gives your creatures trample. Even in mono-white, at 6 mana I'd rather cast a True Conviction or Light from Within or even Glorious Anthem if no one else helps you buff your army.

May be playable with Doubling Season and Primal Vigor in a Ghave, Guru of Spores or Marath, Will of the Wild edh, but definitely not very good in Derevi's precon.
