I don't like its name. Why is a white (and blue) card making people feel dread? Yeah the actual card seems right but its just the name that doesn't make sense. Black is the one that induces terror and fear.

Something tells me this will be a great limited card. Tapping down 4 guys for 4 mana can often turn a game.
first let me say this card saved me many times at the prerealese and I love it for that second @Tommy9898 this about the people who have the feeling of dread about humans, thats why its in white and blue.

5'd for flavour text and art. See the birds taking off from that tree/shrub in the background? The BIRDS know that it was something...
The spell itself ain't bad either.

@JFM: I completely agree. As soon as I saw the Travel Preparations spoiler, I was hoping for blink to make its return. Maybe we'll get it back in the next set.

@Tommy9898 Feeling of Dread isn't making the opponent feel dread, it's responding to your own feeling of dread, and as a response, you tap threats. That is what white and blue are all about -- prevention and control.

This card is solid in limited formats. I managed to draft two at the last one I played - being able to tap two threats up to four times is what carried me to 1st. It was definitely the MVP of my deck. Or MVC I guess. Whatever.

U/W control, naturally. Dreading your opponent's creatures this turn? Not to worry.

Does anyone know if the blue cost of the flashback makes the second one count as a blue spell? Kind of obscure hope someone can shed light.

No, Feeling of Dread is still white, no matter how you cast it. All of the flashback spells are the color of their original casting cost, not the flashback cost. For example, this card can still tap Scryb Ranger on both sides, while neither side can tap Knight of Infamy. Frazzle can be used to counter it, but Guttural Response cannot target it.

Use with Tamiyo, the Moon Sage with the second ability to tap four creatures and draw at least four cards. I want her ultimate, but cards can be useful, too, especially if I think they'll be blowing her up asap (and they probably will).

i think this card is better than most people give it credit. i have been playing esper control with 4 of these. i was playing around with kill spells but now ive taken them all out for these. feeling of dread prevents more damage early game than murder or ultimate price and the creatures that you didnt kill will just eat supreme verdict/terminus any way.

I'd be feeling the dread if there were a tree made of Storm Crow right behind me.
When players are doing their deckbuilding, cards like this can often be overlooked. Tapping creatures isn't flashy or glamorous, and the fact that the effects are temporary will often discourage players into looking for more permanent removal spells like Path to Exile or Condemn.
In actuality, a card like Feeling of Dread has incredible potential simply because it has so much versatility. Tapping two creatures for two mana is an excellent deal, and doing it at Instant speed makes this effect so much more valuable. Aggro hates being tapped down, Midrange hates being tapped down, even Control hates getting its blockers and finishers tapped down.
"Your Serra Angel is vigilant you say? Oh that's simply dreadful."
My own White/Blue deck makes use of this card to an amazing extent. Early game it can buy me enough time to develop my board while my opponents are locked down, and midgame it allows creatures like Tandem Lookout and Ninja of the Deep Hours to connect. My favourite trick is flashing it back at the end of my opponent's turn, and then dropping a Sunblast Angel. It's very effective, and you always feel like you've earned the effect by outwitting your opponent.
