Why is that all white instants which give boosts are so overcosted and the enchantments are so cheap?

the reason it had no comments was because this whole set was JUST added to gatherer, virtuevsvice. and i wonder if you will be adding your 'first' posts to each other card in m11 as well? ... ah, to be young again.
that being said, this card is a bit overcosted and doubtless won't see play due to the other better white creature boosting cards. oh, but it's good in limited.. which means it's worthless.

this is not a bad card. is not overrun, but instant speed makes the surprise, specially for creatures with first strike. as damage, cmc 4 is worth for two or more creatures. i'll play it in pauper

this card isn't as bad as people make it seem to be.
minus trample, this is a 1 less cost 1 less power overrun imo, and the instant speed makes it pretty unpredictably deadly. excellent for white swarm decks.

Just the fact that there are no comments yet tells you enough about this card...
P.S. First
*Edit* @Eternal_Blue
I realize M11 was just added, but most of the good cards had comments already. The fact that this card had no comments indicated what people thought of it (it's nothing to write home about).
Yea, I've added my "first" posts to some cards, the problem being...?
"ah, to be young again." I just hope I mature more than you have by the time I reach your age. Jumping on someone's comment like that doesn't make me want to grow old and wise like you.
The funny thing is, you agreed with my estimation of the card, yet you, um, still bashed me?

At First Not A Fan But In Red White Which Usually Isn't Stacked With Baddies It Gives The Extra Push So In Draft Not Bad At All 3.5

Awesome in Limited. It's psuedo-overrun in white!

Using these with Eldrazi Spawn can be quite effective. Unless they're suspecting something, they'll probably let them all through... which is when you drop this and they take buttloads of damage.

The cost is too high. You would be better off paying the exact same amount and playing two Glorious Charge's.
Granted, it's less likely to have TWO Glorious Charge's in your hand, rather than one Inspired Charge. But you could also look at it this way: if you play two Glorious Charge's, an opponent would have to counter each one of them to stop you. :-)
Great artwork, though! But I must say, I found the flavor text to be bland and somewhat uninspired.

It gives all of your creatures Unholy Strength! In white! It should be +1/+2 and some white ability instead.
I swear, kids these days and their messed up color pies...

@Ideatog - Instant is what makes this card more "white" compared to green sorceries like Overrun. This spell can reflect either a direct assault or a counter-assault.

Not a bad card. Won me a bunch of games with white weenie. 4/5 at least. 5/5 because I love the idea of a small army overwhelming a giant enemy.

This card came with my Myr Intro deck (the first deck i owned, where i found my love of Myr..). Even with the myr's ability to ramp up mana, it was still a meh card. One match against a red burn I found myself casting two of these to save my mana from a Galvanic Blast. That's about the best use I ever really got out of it.
3/5 because I've seen some soldiers gobble this baby down.

This is one of those cards that I know isn't very good, but I love it anyways. The worth of it being instant-speed cannot be overstated. In formats where Glorious Charge is available, I prefer that, but in Standard, this is currently my favorite white Stupid Combat Trick (tm).
