About View from Above

View from Above, Instant, designed by Howard Lyon first released in Feb, 2009 in the set Conflux. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2.61. It's a key card in 4 combos.

This card, View from Above, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on tempo and evasion strategies, especially in a deck that includes both blue and white permanents. It can provide a temporary flying ability to a creature for added evasion or to enable an attack, and the potential to return it to hand if a white permanent is in play adds a nice element of card advantage. While there may be more efficient or versatile options available, such as Aether Tunnel or Spectral Flight, View from Above could still see play in decks looking for a specific combination of effects and synergies.
