Voice of Victory is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
Mobilize 2 (Whenever this creature attacks, create two tapped and attacking 1/1 red Warrior creature tokens. Sacrifice them at the beginning of the next end step.) Your opponents can't cast spells during your turn.
Complete guide
Voice of Victory is a powerful Human Bard that commands the battlefield by summoning reinforcements and silencing your enemies. Costing only two mana, it ensures your turns remain uninterrupted while building a temporary army every time it charges into battle.
What It Does
Voice of Victory has two primary functions. First, it features the Mobilize 2 keyword, which triggers whenever it is declared as an attacker to create two 1/1 red Warrior tokens that are already tapped and attacking. Second, it possesses a static ability that prevents your opponents from casting any spells during your turn, effectively protecting your plays from counterspells or combat tricks.
How Mobilize Resolves
When you declare Voice of Victory as an attacker, the Mobilize 2 ability goes on the stack. Upon resolution, two 1/1 red Warrior tokens enter the battlefield tapped and attacking. You choose which player, planeswalker, or battle each token is attacking; they do not have to attack the same target as Voice of Victory. Because these tokens enter 'attacking,' they do not trigger 'whenever a creature attacks' abilities, as they were never declared as attackers during the turn's declaration of attackers step.
Strategic Timing and Sacrificing
The tokens created by Mobilize are temporary. At the beginning of the next end step, you must sacrifice them. This occurs even if Voice of Victory leaves the battlefield before the end step. However, the static ability protecting your turn is active as long as Voice of Victory is on the battlefield, making it a priority target for your opponent's removal during their own turns.
Interaction examples
Voice of Victory
Ornithopter of ParadiseIf you control Voice of Victory, your opponent cannot cast spells during your turn. This means if you attack with Ornithopter of Paradise, your opponent cannot use a removal spell to destroy it before damage, nor can they cast spells to tap your creatures or boost their own blockers.
WarriorWhen Voice of Victory attacks, its Mobilize 2 ability triggers. You create two 1/1 red Warrior tokens. You may choose to have Voice of Victory attack the opponent, while the two Warrior tokens attack an opposing planeswalker. At the beginning of the end step, both Warrior tokens are sacrificed.
Esper SentinelWith Voice of Victory on the board, your opponent cannot cast spells on your turn. If you cast Esper Sentinel during your main phase, your opponent cannot use a counterspell to stop it. They must wait until their own turn to attempt to cast a noncreature spell, which would then trigger the ability of Esper Sentinel.

Although the Warrior tokens enter as attacking creatures, they were never declared as attacking creatures. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won’t trigger when the tokens enter attacking.
