Attack with four Birds of Paradise, return 5 plains to my hand-20 damage with flying 0/1 creatures. That's pretty nice.

Being an instant, it's a great finisher- wait until your opponent doesn't block any four of your white weenies, then destroy him.

Very costly, I put it in my all {W} deck but I have yet to use it...

Incredibly overrated... FogHoly DayFog Patch Any of those three will make you cry now that you've returned all your plains you've got to your hand. And the card forces you to use more basic lands, which is always going to water down your deck. 2/5

Overrated? No. Underrated? Possibly. Works wonders as a finisher in white weenie. Counterspells don't screw you as sweep happens on resolution. Usually it's safe to bounce all but two of your lands back. Plus now, it combos with landfall in zendikar.

A Mega-Overrun of at least +5/+5 in mono-white was utterly sick. Sooooo shouldn't have been printed.

Card Could Be Huge Game Ender With A Conquerers Pledge Played The Turn Before. Plus A Few Honor Of The Pures Out

Ridiculously underrated. This card lets you swing for lethal with a board of 1/1s for a mere 5 mana.

Awesome card! Not only do you to power up 1/1 rediculously high, you also get to untap tapped lands. It does not say only untapped lands can be used, so if you use a tapped land you can play it right back out onto the field for a second use!

Too bad it only takes plains, if it took any old land then it would have been awesome. Still not bad, but not good either. This card will only ever grace casual decks

Good card, but amazing name. There's just something very Lawrence of Arabia, overrun of Aqaba about it.

Brave the elements is less risky, but this indeed wins games the moment it resolves.

I don't really remember the last time I saw a Fog being played... Anyway, this is risky, but is a solid, unexpected finisher.

It wins games out of literally nowhere due to instant speed. Put on your poker face and be like, "I guess I will attack". After they let a couple through instead of trading BAM.

Certainly some way to get a lot of Plains out, like Summer Bloom, Exploration etc. some token maybe from Spectral Procession then this and Armageddon way earlier than is reasonable? That'd be hilarious in casual though it would probably work better with Plow through Reito as far as land screw goes cause this plus tokens should be a kill regardless of what happens with the lands.
